He earned a bachelor's degree there, followed by a master's in the Quranic readings (qira'at) and a PhD in exegesis (tafsir), all with distinction, and went on to become an associate professor of Quranic sciences.

He learned the Hafs 'an 'Asim reading from Sheikh Sa'id al-Abdullah and studied the readings with Sheikh Hussein Khalid and Sheikh Abd al-Ghaffar al-Durubi.
