He learned the Holy Quran by heart in his early childhood. The thirst for religious knowledge took him to Baghdad which was then the centre of religious scholars. After quenching his thirst of knowledge and completing his education, he started teaching in the famous religious institute "Baab-ul-Azaj". During his teaching period, he wrote a number of valuable books and "Tafseer-a-Jilani" is one of them. Although its copies were present in different Universities but for a long time, it remained hidden from the general public.
