He has been giving religious lectures in India and abroad, especially during the Muslim month of Muharram, for the last 30 years.

He completed his education from Jamia Nazmia up to Mumtaz-ul-Afazil and was taught by Mufti Syed Ahmad Ali (son of Allama Mufti Mohammad Abbas) along with other learned teachers. After finishing his studies at Madrasutul Waizeen and completing different oriental courses from Lucknow University, Shia Arabic College and Aligarh Muslim University, he went to Najaf-e-Ashraf, Iraq, for higher education. There his teachers included the likes of Ayat-ul-Uzma Syed Mohsin al-Hakim and Ayat-ul-Uzma Aqa-e-Khoi. Thereafter he travelled all over the globe for social services and spreading the knowledge and message of Ahl-ul-Bayt.

Maulana Hasan is a renowned authority on Shia theology in India today. His lectures on the teachings of the Prophet and his Ahl-ul-Bayt have been very popular both within the community and the media.
