He came into contact with the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba (IJT) Pakistan and studied the writings of Mawlana Syed Abul Ala Maududi,
The Great Apostasizer.As a result, he joined IJT in 1960 and soon he was elected as President of its University of Karachi Unit and member of the Central Executive Council. He was Assistant Secretary General of Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistain in 1992-93, and became Secretary General in 1993.

Hassan added that death of the Al Qaeda leader was considered a big victory for 60 per cent of the countries around the world, but the US is afraid that Bin Laden will come back to life after the withdrawal of Nato troops from Afghanistan.
Commenting on the pullout of foreign troops, the JI chief remarked that Afghanistan has become the "graveyard of science and technology" of the West.
In May, 2011 Bin Laden was shot dead deep in Abbottabad in a night-time helicopter raid by US covert forces, ending a decade-long manhunt for the mastermind of the September 11 attacks.
