There, he received his foundational Islamic education under the guidance and supervision of Syed Masood Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) and Muhammad Ishtiaq (may Allah have mercy on him), whose scholarly personalities played a vital role in shaping his upbringing as a distinguished Islamic scholar.
