Iravani then began teaching "Islamic Law, Foundation of Islamic Economy, and Islamic Philosophy" at the Allameh Tabatabai University, "Logic and Methodology" at the Ministry of Justice (Iran), and "Islamic History, Mystics" at Amirkabir University of Technology in Tehran, Iran. In 1995, he obtained his bachelor's degree in Western Philosophy from University of Tehran. Continuously attending Howzeh Elmiyeh, by 1997, Iravani received his “Ejaze-e-Ijtihad” (highest degree of Islamic religious studies). His teachers were Late Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Fazel Lankarani, Late Grand Ayatollah Montazeri and Grand Ayatollah Sane'i who conveyed and gave him the degree. During the following year, 1998, he received his master's degree in Western Philosophy from Allameh Tabatabai University in Tehran, Iran.

During his stay, Iravani worked to promote intra-faith dialogue amongst Muslims and educate them by holding conferences giving lectures on fighting Islamic fundamentalist ideas, which were spread throughout Africa at the time. During his time in West Africa, he established an Islamic seminary in Accra, Ghana in 1983. During the summers of 1983 to 1987, he traveled to other West African countries for missionary work. He then settled in Zimbabwe from 1987-1990, and established the Center of Islamic Studies in Southern Africa.
