Seyyid Dildar Ali Nasirabadi completed his early studies in India, before travelling to Iraq in 1193 AH (1776 AD) for further education.

[3] Ayatullah ul Uzma Allama Syed Ali Naqi Naqvi (Naqqan Saheb) in his magazine on Gufraan Maab has mentioned that:

Gufraan Maab (A,R) travelled to several cities throughout Hindustan and arrived in Sandela and become a pupil of Shareh Muslim Mulla Hamad Ullah's son Mulla Haider Ali, In Allahbad Under Syed Ghulam Ali Dakni, and in Bareli from Moulvi Baab Ullah he learned Sarf-o-nahv, maani aur Bayan, logic, philosophy and mathematics.

Due to their respect for Gufraan Maab and with the help of the Almighty they sent him to Najaf for further studies.While in India he followed the Akhbari persuasion, but changed to the Usuli school after his studies in Iraq.

Sources record that initially Syed Dildar Ali Naqvi was of Akhbari tendency but when he travelled to Najaf, he met scholars of high repute and became an "Usooli" .

[4] Janab Baqar Shams Saheb Qibla has written in his book "Hindustan main shiaat ki Tareekh" (page:3) Ayatullah Gufraan Maab was a sensitive child, who most of the time used to remain silent but he was deep sighted and was mentally very strong.

It is written in the books of History of Lucknow that once he was under a tree and a light illuminated and sounds roared and said "Dildar Ali go and obtain religious education".

His magnum opus in Theology (IlmulKalam) is known as "ImadulIslam" which he wrote in Arabic, in refutation of anti-Shia arguments by Fakhru al-Din Razi.
