He had a relationship with General Ayub Khan, who visited him in Allomahar Sharif.

He joined Majlis-e-Ihrar in 1934. It was the time when the Muslims of the subcontinent were crushed and dominated by the anti Islamic forces. The British Government's principle of divide and rule was to be enforced in the subcontinent. First the British Government was afraid of the Muslim's historical dignity. Secondly, the Hindus and the Sikhs also opposed the Muslims in all fields of life. The Hindus and the Sikhs tried to better the Muslims in education, trade, politics, industry, and other aspects of life. In connection with this another group of people became active to create more hurdles and difficulties for the Muslims. This group of people named (The Ahmadis) were supported by the British Government. The British Government blessed this new sect by wealth, good jobs in government and golden chances in trade and commerce etc. The leader of this sect was Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian.

Saheb Zada Faiz-Ul-Hassan Shah Saheb felt this factor the most harmful for the Muslims. He took a serious action against this. He agitated against the Ahamadis and their master the British government.

Famous quotes containing the words religious and/or career:

    We are not a religious people, but we are a nation of politicians. We do not care for the Bible, but we do care for the newspaper. At any meeting of politicians ... how impertinent it would be to quote from the Bible! how pertinent to quote from a newspaper or from the Constitution!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.
    Ann Oakley (b. 1944)
