After completing his studies he taught for three years at Madrasa Chilla, [[Amroha]]. Thereafter for four years he held the post of Shaykh al-Hadith at [[Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama]], [[Lucknow]].<ref name="rizvi"/><ref name="futuhat"/>

In 1934 (1353 AH) he established a monthly journal, ''al-Furqan'', from [[Bareilly]]. The journal began with a focus towards polemics, but in 1942 (1361 AH) it became more of an academic and religious journal.<ref name="rizvi"/>

Nomani was a founding member of [[Jamaat-e-Islami]]. At its Founding Session in August 1941 he led the seven-member committee that proposed Sayyid Abul A'la Maududi as Amir. He himself was selected as Na'ib Amir (Deputy Amir). Six months later, in 1942, Nomani arrived at the Jamaat's ''Darul Islam'' community in [[Pathankot]] with the intention of permanently settling there. He was appointed as the first [[Muhtasib]] of ''Darul Islam''. However, due to differences with Maududi he left Jamaat-i Islami in August/September 1942 (Sha'ban 1361 AH) and returned home to Sambhal. Detailing his time with Maududi and the reasons for his departure from Jamaat-i Islami he wrote ''Maulana Maududi ke sath meri rifaqat ki sarguzasht aur ab mera mauqif'' (1980).

After leaving Jamaat-e-Islami, he and [[Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi]] became affiliated with the [[Tablighi Jamaat]] movement. Nomani's compilation of the ''malfuzat'' (sayings) of [[Muhammad Ilyas Kandhlawi|Muhammad Ilyas]] comes from the period of 1943 to 1944, mostly during Ilyas's final illness.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Nomani|first1=Muhammad Manzoor|title=Malfoozat: Discourses of Moulana Ilyas|publisher=Madrasah Arabia Islamia Azaadville|location=South Africa|chapter=Preface}}</ref>
