Life
[edit]He completed his secondary education in 1932. After completing his secondary education, he decided to study religion. [citation needed]
For religious studies, Najafi went to Khanewal to study from Allamah Syed Muhammad Baqir Hindi. Later, he traveled to Najaf for higher religious education. After completing his education and receiving Ijaza e Ijtihad from many of his teachers, he came back to Pakistan. He lived in Jalalpur and then came back to his city Alipur and started a madarasa (a place for religious studies) that was known as Jamia Ilmiya Dar-ul-Huda Muhammadia. Najafi died on 20 December 1990 in Lahore, but was buried in Alipur.[1][2]
