He delivered more than 5,000 religious lectures and speeches over the period of 57 years that he spent out of his 65 years of total life in the service of [[Ahl al-Bayt]]. Allama Rasheed Turabi introduced many dimensions to the Art of Oratory. The most sought after Urdu public speaker of his times, he was indeed a persuasive and brilliant orator. He was the first person who delivered religious speeches for ten days or more on selected topics. He was a very good student of [[Khalifa Abdul Hakim]], who directed his studies in [[Philosophy]] and [[English studies|English]].

Along with his formal studies, he drank deep at the fountain of Arabic and Persian literature. Ilm was his main forte. He was among the scholars of Islamic learning who learnt a great deal from Ayatollah-ul-Uzma Syed [[Hossein Borujerdi]], Ayatollah-ul-Uzma [[Muhsin al-Hakim]] al-Tabatabai, Ayatollah Mohsin Tehrani, Ayatollah-ul-Uzma [[Abu al-Qasim al-Khoei]] and Ayatullah Shahrestani, etc.

All of the above named renowned scholars issued [[Ijazah]] (authority letters) to Allama Rasheed Turabi to act as a scholar on [[Quran]] and [[Sunnah]]. It was one of the greatest achievements of any religious scholar of the [[subcontinent]].

Allama Rasheed Turabi started his political career as a lieutenant of Nawab [[Bahadur Yar Jang]]. He Had served as a religious orator under the Last [[Nizam of Hyderabad]] [[Mir Osman Ali Khan]]. Later on, he became the Chief of the All India State Muslim League. The Quaid E Azam [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] nominated him as the information secretary of States Muslim League and it is from this platform that Allama Rasheed Turabi rendered valuable service to the cause of Pakistan.

He migrated to Pakistan in 1949 upon the request of Quaid E Azam [[Muhammad Ali Jinnah]] and started addressing majalis at the Imambargahs in [[Kharadar]], [[Khaliq Dina Hall]] and Martin Road [[Pakistan Quarters]] in Karachi. He also addressed Eid Milad-un-Nabi[[Mawlid]] gatherings at [[Aram Bagh]] and [[Jahangir Park]], this went a long way in establishing his popularity within both Sunnis and Shias alike. Later on he started addressing majalis in [[Nishtar Park]] and at Imambargah Hussainian Iranian Kharadar.

His first Sham-e-Gareeban Majlis was broadcast on the [[Radio Pakistan]] in 1951. It became an annual feature till his death.
