In 1899 he went to Phulwari Sharif (Bihar) where he became a disciple of Maulana Mohiuddin and Sulaiman Phulwari. From there he went to Darbhanga where he studied for a few months at Madrasa-e-Imdadia.
In 1901, he was admitted into Darul-uloom Nadwatul Ulama at Lucknow. He studied for seven years at Nadva.

Aligarh Muslim University conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctorate of Literature (DLitt) in 1940.
In 1910, Shibli Nomani began writing Sirat-un-Nabi (a highly regarded biography of Islam's Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Nadvi served as his literary assistant. After Nomani's death in 1914, Nadvi left his position as a professor at Deccan College, Pune and traveled to Azamgarh. There he edited and published the two first volumes of Sirat-un-Nabi penned by Nomani, and completed the remaining four volumes himself.
In October and November 1925, Nadvi delivered a series of eight lectures on the life Muhammad (PBUH) at Madras. These lectures were later published as Khutbat-e-Madras.
In 1933, he published one of his major works, Khayyam. The nucleus of this book was an article on noted Persian scholar and poet Omar Khayyam.
In 1940, he published Rahmat-e-Aalam, a children's book about Islam's Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Nadvi, along with others who favored Hindu-Muslim unity in British India, suggested that the term "Urdu" be abandoned in favor of "Hindustani" because the former conjured up the image of a military conquest and war whereas the latter had no such symbolic baggage.
Nadvi founded Dar-ul-Mosannefeen (Academy of Authors), also known as the Shibli Academy, at Azamgarh. The first book published there was Ard-ul-Quran (2 volumes).
