'''Al Jamiatul Ashrafia''' ({{langx|ur|{{Nastaliq|الجامعۃ اُلاشرفیہ}}}}, {{langx|hi|अल जामियत-उल-अशरफ़िया}}) is a [[Sunni]] [[Madrasa]] in India. It is located in [[Mubarakpur, Azamgarh|Mubarakpur]] in a Northern State of India, [[Uttar Pradesh]].

==History==
It started off as a madrasa called ''Misbah al-Ulum'' in 1898 in the town of [[Mubarakpur, Azamghar|Mubarakpur]] of what was then [[British India]].<ref>[[Al Jamiatul Ashrafia#Sanyal08|Sanyal 2008]]: 32.</ref> It was named 'Ashrafia' after [[Ali Hussain Ashrafi|Syed Shah Ali Hussain Ashraf Kichauchhvi]]. After struggling for many years and moving locations several times, a new building was constructed using funds raised by Hafiz Abd al-Aziz Muradabadi. This was the site for the school now known as Dar al-Ulum Ahl-i Sunnat or Misbah al-Ulum.<ref>[[Al Jamiatul Ashrafia#Sanyal08|Sanyal 2008]]: 33.</ref>[[File:AL-JAMIATUL ASHRAFIA.jpg]]

Realizing that the site was becoming too small, Hafiz Abd al-Aziz organized an educational conference in May 1972 to discuss for moving Ashrafia to a larger campus. Scholars of the Barelvi movement such as [[Mustafa Raza Khan]] son of [[Ahmad Raza Khan]] along with Maulana Syed Ale Mustafa Quadri Barkati<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=http://www.aljamiatulashrafia.in/aljamiatul-ashrafia.php?lang=EN|title=Al Jamiatul Ashrafia: An Introduction|website=www.aljamiatulashrafia.in|access-date=31 May 2020|archive-date=16 January 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200116143349/http://aljamiatulashrafia.in/aljamiatul-ashrafia.php?lang=EN|url-status=live}}</ref> and [[Arshadul Qadri]] laid the foundation stone with the mission of making it a university for Sunni Hanafi Islam in 1972 at a site outside the city of [[Azamgarh]].<ref>[[Al Jamiatul Ashrafia#Sanyal08|Sanyal 2008]]: 34.</ref> Key figures such as Allama [[Ziaul Mustafa Razvi Qadri]], [[Allama Arshadul Qaudri]], Allama Mumtaz Ahmad Ashraful Qadri, Mufti Abdul Mannan, Maulana Shafi, Qari Yehya and [[Qamaruzzaman Azmi]] worked with [[Shah Abdul Azeez Muradabadi|Abd al-Aziz Muradabadi]] to raise the required funds to build the institution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allamaazmi.com/articles-3.asp |title=Great Religious Leader of the 21st Century |publisher=Allama Azmi |access-date=2012-10-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120322184442/http://www.allamaazmi.com/articles-3.asp |archive-date=2012-03-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
