He then went to the Madrassa Ehya-ul-Uloom in Mubarakpur, where he studied with scholars such as Shukrullah Mubarakpuri. He then moved to Darul Uloom Mau where he studied the Mishkat with Abdur Rasheed al-Hussayni and the Jalalayn with Qari Riyasat Ali.[1] He applied for admission to the Darul Uloom Deoband but was unsuccessful and thus went to the Madrasa Shahi for higher studies and graduated in 1942.[2][3] He studied the Sahih Bukhari with Syed Fakhruddin Ahmad, the Sahih Muslim with Ismail Sambhali and the works of Tirmidhi with Muhammad Miyan Deobandi.[4]

Asīr participated in the Quit India Movement.[2] He was associated with the Indian National Congress until 1948, when he joined the Congress Socialist Party.[4] He established the Madrassa Darus Salam in Adari, Mau in 1954, and taught there for around sixteen years.[1] He served as the Officer In Charge of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind, Uttar Pradesh in Lucknow from 1974 to 1978 and thereafter taught Islamic Sciences at the Madrasa Jamia Islamia in Rewri Talab, Varanasi from 4 February 1978 till he was bedridden due to old age.[5]

Asīr was the editor of the 3 monthly Tarjumān and wrote hundreds of articles for it. He was a columnist and a writer for the Weekly Al-Jamiat and Daily al-Jamiat of the Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind.[6] He wrote short stories and legends including the Itnā, Do LāsheiN, Nashīb-o-Farāz and Aetirāf-e-Shikast. His legends such as the Hand bag and Aspatāl were published by the Nawai Pakistan of Lahore. He also contributed to the Kāmyāb, Delhi and the Risālā Dārul Uloom of the Darul Uloom Deoband.[4] Several of his works have been considered primary sources for various Darul Uloom Deoband related issues.[2]

Asīr died on 20 May 2021 in Adari, Mau, Uttar Pradesh.[7] Arshad Madani expressed grief at his death and said that "Asīr Adrawi's death is an irreparable loss."[3]

Literary works
