Asif has also worked on developing alliances with the revert Muslim community of United States to introduce Dinar and Dirhams in the U.S. In collaboration with Amir Ismail Bryant, a student of Shaykh Abdulqadir As-Sufi (alongside Umar Vadillo), he launched Dinar Wakala LLC, the first producer of the Silver Dirhams and Gold Dinars in America. He has been working actively for the last four years to create awareness and educate people about the need for reviving this Sunnah. In 2010, he produced a 1.25 hour documentary video on the movement. More recently, he has authored the first Urdu language book on the subject, aimed at educating the people of Pakitan about the Fiqh, Economic and Historical importance of the Dinar.
