He got the earlier education from local mosque and then from Vernacular High School Kot Shakir. After doing the Patwar course he studied Persian and Islamic History from some other institutions.

Major Works

After the completion of his earlier education he began to collect the family trees of Sadat (the descendants of Holly Prophet Muhammad) of Punjab and particularly Jhnag. He went door to door and searched out for Sadat families village to village and composed a great anthology of family trees and Family history of Prophet’s house. His research not only measures the fourteen centuries onward family chain, rather he joints the Prophet Adam (The first man on the earth) to the man of the date by respect of descending family chain. There are about ten books of his research work on family trees of Sadat and other elite tribes and castes are not published yet.
