His major works included Aap Kay Masail Aur Unka Hal, spread over ten volumes, and the celebrated and renowned Ikhtilafe Ummat aur Sirat-e-Mustaqeem ("Factions in the Ummah and the Straight Path"). He is best known for using an author's own writings to highlight internal inconsistencies in the authors ideas. He used the technique extensively against leaders of the Shi'ite sect and against the founder of the Jamat-e-Islami, Abul Aala Mauddudi and specially against Qadiyaniat.
The same technique has been used extensively by various authors, including Haafiz Muhammad Zubair and Haafiz Tahir Islam Askari in their book Fiqr-e-Ghaamdi, Aik Tehkeeki aur Taziati Mut'alia. ('Ghamdi's Ideology: An Investigative and Analytical Study') The book also extensively quotes Hazrat Maulana Ludhanvi's works.

Famous quotes containing the words lifetime and/or work:
“Sometimes a neighbor whom we have disliked a lifetime for his arrogance and conceit lets fall a single commonplace remark that shows us another side, another man, really; a man uncertain, and puzzled, and in the dark like ourselves.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The true poem is not that which the public read. There is always a poem not printed on paper,... in the poet’s life. It is what he has become through his work. Not how is the idea expressed in stone, or on canvas or paper, is the question, but how far it has obtained form and expression in the life of the artist. His true work will not stand in any prince’s gallery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
