In 1948, along with his brothers, Ata Muhammad and Iqbal Muhammad, he opened a retail shop of second hand books in Urdu Bazar, Lahore. In 1950, Ilmi Kitab Khana started publishing academic books, and quickly became the national leader in publishing for intermediate to Masters courses. Soon after, the company established its imprints, Markazi Kutab Khana and Pakistan Law Times (P.L.T.).[1]
