'''Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa''' ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|جماعت رضائے مصطفی}}}}, {{lang-hi|जमात-रज़ा-ए-मुस्तफ़ा}}) also known as '''Jamat Raza-e-Mustafa''', is one of the historical organisation of Indian [[Sunni]] Barelvi Muslims associated with Sufism. It was founded by Mujadid and scholar [[Ahmed Raza Khan]] on 17 December 1920 at Bareilly to propagate Islamic teachings in accordance with Ahle Sunnah wal Jama'ah. One of the aim of JRM includes to refute the [[Wahabi]], [[Deobandi]] and [[Shia]] sects and safeguard the beliefs (Aqaa'id) of the Sunni Muslims who practice Sufism.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.aalaahazrat.com/jrmintro.htm|title=AlaHazrat|website=www.aalaahazrat.com}}</ref><ref name="Jackson">Jackson, William Kesler (2013), page 189</ref>

==History==
It played a significant role during Shuddhi movement which was initiated by Arya Samaj to convert Muslims into Hinduism. The Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa prevented around four hundred thousand re-conversions to Hinduism in eastern U.P and Rajasthan during its activities under anti-[[Shuddhi (Hinduism)|Shuddhi]] movement.<ref>Jackson, William Kesler, "A Subcontinent's Sunni Schism: The Deobandi-Barelvi Rivalry and the Creation of Modern South Asia" (2013). History - Dissertations.page 188 & 189. https://surface.syr.edu/hst_etd/102</ref>

In 1917, Allama [[Naeem-ud-Deen Muradabadi]] organized the historical Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa conference at [[Jamia Naeemia Moradabad]], a group whose mission was to curb, and if possible reverse, the tide of re-conversions threatening the Muslim community in the wake of the Shuddhi movement.<ref>Jackson, William Kesler (2013), page 188 & 189</ref>

Mufti [[Mustafa Raza Khan]] was the another influential leader of Jama'at Raza-e-Mustafa who worked against the Shuddhi movement, which aims to convert Muslims to Hinduism in pre-Partition India.<ref name="Hasan">{{cite book|title=Communal and pan-Islamic trends in colonial India|author1=Hasan, M.|author2=Jamia Millia Islamia (India). Dept. of History|date=1985|publisher=Manohar|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=xRBuAAAAMAAJ|accessdate=28 July 2015}}</ref>
The organisation also worked for the defence of Sufi Sunni beliefs in south Asia as practiced by large numbers of people known as Barelvis. It would also act as a quasi-political organisation in opposition to the Deobandi-dominated JUH.<ref name="Jackson"/>
