Therefore, he was disinterested in modern conventional sciences, and he did not fully attended school, but he was naturally interested in religious seminaries and wanted to study there; thus, he did not continue his studies at school beyond the primary level.

Since he was so fascinated by the religious studies, he started his seminary studies in 1976, in Faizan-al-Ulum Maqami seminary in Laken village in Khost province by local religious scholars. But when the situation were exacerbating day by day in Afghanistan, and the communist party could take over the power through a coup in 1978. Upon the overtaking of power by the communists, they took the Islamic scholars under severe pressures, so Shaikh Sabib despite of massive problems migrated to Pakistan along with all of his family in month of Asad of the that year.

When the vote of the Ahl-al-Hal WA Al-Aqd council was taken for Rabbani, the respected Shaikh Saheb did not vote and expressed his dissatisfaction. As during the rule of Rabbani, killings and insecurity increased in Khost province, people’s comfortable lives faced with a lot of problems and the fire of atrocity ignited among ethnic and jihadi councils. In order to curb the aforementioned problems, Shaikh Saheb was entrusted with the affairs of the Khost province police command, and he fulfilled his assigned responsibilities with full honesty, and this same police command in Khost province became the source of the Islamic Emirate movement.

Mr. Sheikh Sahib accepted the appointment of this ministry by presenting a series of conditions and continued his work until the fall of the previous Emirate reign.

After the fall, he gathered his friends to fight against the invaders and henchmen in the battlefield and practically started the armed jihad. In this series, in order to arrest Sheikh Sahib, the Americans launched military operations four times, in which the honorable Sheikh Sahib was outside the house and arrested his brother. The second operation was unsuccessful, in the third operation, his brother was arrested who was imprisoned in Bagram prison for 2 months, and in the fourth operation, all members of his family were imprisoned and one of his nephews was injured, but in the arrest of the respected Sheikh Sahib They did not succeed.

When the Americans and their henchmen failed and despaired in arresting him, they offered him a seat and concessions, but the honorable Sheikh Sahib rejected all these offers and concessions and continued his jihad activities. After a one-year struggle, he went on a trip to Haramin Sharifin for Umrah and performed Iqama there. Later, by the order of the leadership of the emirate to attract and collect financial aid in Saudi Arabia, a four-member committee was created with the membership of Sheikh Sahib, which collected approximately 20 million Rials in six years, which was given to the emirate through Mutasim Agha, finally, the Islamic Emirate wanted Mutasim Agha to be transparent and accountable but unfortunately he did not show up, so he was dismissed by the Emirate.

After the dismissal of Mutasim Agha form his position, Shaikh Saheb was under serious pursuit by the Saudi government, and finally he was arrested in the month of Rabi al-Thani, 1431 AH, and he was sentenced to 9 years in prison and three hundred thousand Rial fines by the court of this country. After serving the mentioned period of imprisonment, he was imprisoned for another 4 months, and finally he was released from prison in the month of Rajab 1440 AH and was blessed with freedom.
