Career
Ali's career began with teaching at madrasas in Bengal such as the Jhingabari Alia Madrasah in Sylhet, Jamia Islamia Yunusia in Brahmanbaria and the Jamia Millia in Comilla.

He also later founded the Darul Uloom Madrasa in Mymensingh.[1]

He was first a member of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam party. In 1952, he was elected as the president of the Nizam-e-Islam Party. Ali's party, which formed a coalition under the United Front, succeeded during the 1954 East Bengal Legislative Assembly elections, gaining 36 total seats in the National Assembly.
