The musician turned activist was also involved in making documentaries relating to social issues in the South Asian nation. He also worked as the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Aids/HIV programme to raising awareness about the immunodeficiency syndrome in South Asia.
He played an important role in raising funds for victims of the massive earthquake that hit Pakistan in October 2005. Ahmad and his band Junoon suffered political censorship in Pakistan during the rule of Benazir Bhutto in the 1990s, partly due to a song denouncing political corruption.
