However, Aga sahab went beyond the conventional duty of his family viz-a-viz spreading the message of Islam, he brought a revolution in the field of education and a social renaissance for the community. He established an educational institution for Islamic learning, namely 'Jamia Babul Ilem' in Budgam. The doors of the institute were thrown open for all those who wanted to acquire knowledge irrespective of the school of thought they belonged to. Aga sahab, however, was well aware that it won't be convenient enough for the people living in far flung areas of Kashmir to come to Budgam therefore he started a number of branches of Babul Ilm in the remotest of villages in Kashmir and Ladakh. Jamia Babul Ilem is the alma-mater of many big names who dominate the literary field of Kashmir today.
Some of the students of the first batch of Jamia Babul Ilem were:
- Hujjatul Islam Al-haj Aga Syed Muhammad Baqir Al-mosavi
- Aga Syed Mohammad Mehvari
- Aga Syed Ibrahim Mehvari
- Molvi Abdul Subhan
- Aga Abdulah Zampuri
- Aga Mohammad Husain Tibbati.
- Zakir Syed Abbas (Chandipora), et al.
