 Jame
Ashraf is one of the most renowned, prominent
and conspicuous Islamic institutions of this subcontinent
producing a large number of savants of Islam (olmas)
Who have been serving religion, Islam, in different
parts of the country and abroad with dedication
and zeal. It has been named as Jame Ashraf signifying
its attachment with sultan Syed Ashraf Jahangir
Simnani (R.A) who was not only a sufi of his time
but also a great learned man having full competence
and proficiency in every branch of theology. It
has been established just near the shrine of Hazrat
Makhdoom Simnani and very close to khanquahe Ashrafia
Hasania Sarkare kalan kichowcha sharif, Dist Ambedkarnagar,
U. P. India.
The background of its establishment can be traced
back in the period of Hazrat Alhaj Syed Shah Ali
Hossain Ashrafi jilani and Hazrat Maulana Ahmad
Ashraf (R.A) who were the most dignified and revered
personali ties of Ashrafia order. The former was
the revivalist of khanquahe Ashrafia Sarkar kalan
and the latter an unparalleled learned man of
his time. Hazrat Ala Hazrat Ashrafi Mian (R.A)
established Madrasa Ashrafia at kichowcha sharif
in 1909. Hazrat Maulana Ahmad Ashraf (R.A) was
nominated as Nazime Ala of this Madrasa. Eminent
Islamic scholars who were well versed in their
respective subjects, were appointed to impart
education based on theology. He wanted to take
it on the peak of progress and determined to make
second Jame Azhar of Egypt in India naming it
Jame Ashraf. But his wish could not be materialised
as he succumbed to Pre-matured death causing inexpressible
mental agony to his old father, Hazrat Alhaj Syed
Ali Hossain Ashrafi jilani. This heart rending
incident paralised the development of Madrasa
Ashrafia.
Hazrat Makhdoomul Mashaikh, Alhaj Syed Shah Mukhtar
Ashraf Sajjadah Nashin Khanquahe Ashrafia Hasania
often used to say with regret that his father
Hazrat Moulan Ahmad Ashraf's wish for the establishment
of Jame Ashraf could not be fulfilled as his prematured
demise left his wish unmeterialised. Hazrat Shaikhe
Azami had been listening to his father's awful
talk with full attention; but he did not venture
in this direction hastily, rather continued waiting
for the appropriate and favourable time. At last,
the day came, and he presented programme of Jame
Ashraf with full detail, and sought his permission
for its establishment and temporarily start education
in the rooms of khanquahe Ashrafia Sarkare Kalan.
Hearing it, Hazrat Makhdoomul Mashaikh was too
glad to express it in words. He not only encouraged
and bestowed good wishes, but promised to bear
the salary of teacher for one year. This encouragement
and good wishes emboldened him and he turned his
full attention towards setting up of Jame Ashraf.

| Office
of Jame Ashraf |
|
The office of Jame Ashraf is very dynamic in
which a permanent clerk works mentaining all accounts
of income and expenditure. This office has type
writing machine, Fax, Phone, and all other essential
things needed for an office. Form the very begining
of Jame Ashraf, Hazrat Shaikhe Azam Sahebe Sajjaddh
Maulana Syed Izhar Ashraf set up office. He did
never himself have any accouut of income and expenditure
and the office incharge maintains every account
of income and expenditure by receipt and vouchers.
Infact, it is the specail merit of Jame Ashraf
where Nazime Ala and its founder and Patron have
nothing to do with the accounts; they only check
the account of income and expenditure whenever
they get time and get the accounts of income and
expenditure audited annually. No one can challeng
their sincerety and honesty. That is why Jame
Ashraf is flourishing by leaps and bounds.

of its founder |

It is an undeniable fact that Jame Ashraf is
the outcome of untiring efforts, Zeal and Sincerity
of Hazrat Shaikhe Azam Maulana Syed Md. Izhar
Ashraf Sajjadah Nashin Khanquah Ashrafia Hasania
sarkare kalan who fulfiled the wishes of his grandfather
Hazrat Maulana Ahmad Ashraf (R.A). The history
of khanquahe Ashrafia can't forget his sacrifices
for this institution rather it will be a golden
chapter of its history. He is the pivot round
which Jame Ashraf revolves. In his thinkings,
imaginations, and planings Jame Ashraf prevails.
He sleeps with the planing of Jame Ashraf and
awakes with a new planing for its further developments.
In the begining, some one might have thought that
Jame Ashraf would be crippled with the passage
of time and it would loss its existence as today
institution opens and closes. But the credit for
its attractive progress goes to its founder who,
facing all kinds of challenges and obstacles in
its way, continued marching ahead with determination
and Zeal under the flag of Jame Ashraf. Now everyone
has acknowledged him as history maker personality
in the khanwadai Ashrafia (Ashrafia family). Now
he is strong enough more than before to face any
kind of challenge and take this institution on
the peak of progress as his Wali Ahad Janashin
Maulana Syed Mahmood Ashraf is behind him with
inheritel Zeal and efficieney. He wants to bring
Jame Ashraf on international level as a great
Islamic institution in India with all facilities
of modern trend of education. In fact, the need
of hour is to do so and he is going to this direction
with the support and good wishes of Hazrat shaikhe
Azam. |
