Building |

With the establishment of the Jame Ashraf in
Khanquahe Ashrafia, Hazrat Shaikhe Azam did not
take rest even for a while, but continued his
endeavour with firm determination to get the buildings
of Jame Ashaf constructed as early as possible
in order to fulfil the dream of his grand father,
Hazrat Maulana Ahmad Ashraf (R.A.). To achieve
his end, he did not go door to door to collect
fund as other founders of any institution do,
but he choose his own way of achieving his desired
goal. After starting education in the room of
Khanquah, he went to Baghdad Sharif on 25th Shawwal
1398 (AH) to seek the blessings and bounties of
Hazral Ghousul Azam (R.A.) for Jame Ashraf. He
presented his Cherished demand Viz Jame Ashraf
with tearful eyes. It is true that no one returns
without getting their objectives; how could he
have returned empty handed from Baghdad. He returned
fully satisfied and got the foundation stone of
Jame Ashraf laid by the Pious hands of Hazrat
Alhaj Maulana Syed Mukhtar Ashraf Sajjadah Nashin
on 27th Moharram (1399) AH; and within one year
construction work completed and teaching started
in the building of Jame Ashraf. This old building
consists of forty two spacious rooms including
attached teachers room and hostel for students.
Everybody expected that Jame Ashraf will continue
running in the rooms of Khanquah for many years;
but Hazrat Shaikhe Azam Syed Izhar Ashraf Sahebe
Sajjadah proved that nothing was difficult and
impossible if one worked with sincerity and zeal
having faith on Allah. and on benedictions of
Aulia (Friends of Allah).

in Jame Ashraf, the old building became insufficient
and the need for a magnificant and spacious buildingwas
felt. As a result, Hazrat Shaikh.e Azam Maulana

respects. This building is Triple storeyed consisting
of eighteen spacious rooms having the capacity
of one hundred students in each room. It is nothing
but the result of sincerity and sacrifices of
Hazrat Shaikh Azam.

As the old hostel became quite inadequate to
accomodate the large number of students, the need
for a new large hostel attracted the attention
of Hazrat Shaikha Azam. Without having fund for
this huge building, he laid the foundation stone
of the hostel on 27th Moharram 1421 (A.H) followed
by Nazime Ala Maulana Syed Mahmood Ashraf and
some other dignitaries in presence of large gatherings
of followers. After laying the foundation stone,
he raised hand, for prayer and ended it saying,

Moinuddin Chishti with tearful eyes; It so happened
that the Faiz (Bounty) of Khaja Ghrib Nawaz got
it completed only in one year. It is Triple storeyed

| Masjide
Ala Hazrat Ashrafi |

After the old building of Jame Ashraf was completed
he felt the need of a large and spacious Mosque
as Madrasa, Masjid and Khanquah are three important
wings of Islam. Allama Aqubal writes :-
"Khusha Masjido Madrasa Khanquahe ke
dar wai Bowad Quilo Quale Mohammad "
Meaning :- what a good is that Masjid
Madras and Khanquah where conversation of Mohammad
(peace be upon him) takes place.
For this reason, he got the foundation stone
laid by Hazrat Maulana Syed Mokhtar Ashraf Sajjadah
Nashin (R.A.) in 1982 and made all efforts to
complete it soon. As a result of his untiring
endeavour, the construction of this Masjid completed
very soon. Hazrat Shaikhe Azam has designed it
in such an exquisite manner that one enjoys the
manifestation of Masjide Nabwi and Gumbade khzra
(Green dome) at khanquahe Ashrafia because Minaret
and domes of this mosque resemble of Minaret and
dome of Madina Monawwarah. In the southern and
northern side of varanda of this mosque the model
of Harame Mecca and Harame Madina has been placed
to see which every one is lost in the world of
Mecca and Madina.
This mosque has the capacity of nearly one thousand
prayers at a time May Allah bless the designer
and maker of this mosque and grant him long life.
