Mirza gives online lectures where he talks about different religious and social issues and runs a research academy where he imparts religious education.[8][6][9] He has been criticized for a number of his speeches which have been deemed as derogatory towards Sahabah, Auliya and traditional scholars by his critics.[6][10]
