At the age of 15, Mawlāna Asif Zia Uddin completed his ḥifẓ (memorization) of the Qurʾān at the Institute of Islamic Education (IIE). Shortly thereafter, he enrolled in the ʿĀlimiyyah program at IIE, which is equivalent to a Master’s degree in Arabic and Islamic Studies, and graduated in 2012 at the age of 21. During his ʿĀlimiyyah studies, Mawlāna Asif delved deeply into various Islamic and Arabic sciences, including Arabic grammar, morphology, rhetoric, Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), Qurʾānic exegesis (tafsīr), prophetic narrations (ḥadīth), and Islamic theology (ʿaqīdah).

In 2016, he earned an undergraduate degree in Education from Benedictine University and gained valuable experience teaching in public schools. Mawlāna Asif has received ijāzah (certification) in various modes of Qurʾān recitation and continues to pursue further ijāzahs.

Since 2012, he has been studying and teaching at Darul Qasim College under the tutelage of Shaykh Amin Kholwadia. Motivated by his passion for nutrition and holistic health, he graduated from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) in 2020 and founded Integrative Shifa. This initiative inspires Muslims globally to achieve holistic health by amalgamating Islamic principles.
