==History==
Amin al-Din Dehlawi, an Islamic scholar who was a student of [[Mahmud Hasan Deobandi]], developed an idea of establishing a [[madrasa]] in [[Delhi]]. He discussed his idea with his fellow [[Kifayatullah Dehlawi]] and invited him to support. Kifayatullah declined the offer stating that he was already occupied teaching at a religious school of his teacher Ubayd al-Haq Khan in [[Shahjahanpur]].{{Sfn|Bastawi|2017|p=21}} He however suggested Amīn to consider [[Anwar Shah Kashmiri]] for this purpose.{{Sfn|Bastawi|2017|p=22}} Amīn reached to Anwar Shah Kashmiri who supported his idea and the Madrasa Aminia was established at Sunehri Masjid, [[Chandni Chowk]] in 1897.{{Sfn|Bastawi|2017|p=22}}<ref name="delhi">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=acoBAAAAMAAJ&q=madrasa+aminia&pg=PA823 |accessdate=22 May 2020|title=Delhi Gazetteer|last1=Chopra|first1=Prabha|year=1976}}</ref><ref name="kashmiruzma">{{cite news |title=Sketch of Maulana Abdul Wali Shah |url=https://www.kashmiruzma.net/NewsDetail?action=view&ID=39937 |author = Hafiz Khursheed Alam Khan|accessdate=22 May 2020 |publisher=[[Greater Kashmir|Kashmir Uzma]] |date=5 October 2018 |language=Urdu}}</ref> The madrasa was shifted to [[Kashmiri Gate, Delhi|Kashmiri Gate]] in 1917.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QhL_Pmo1M4kC&q=Madrasa+Aminia+Islamia+Arabia&pg=PT45 |title = Delhi: Phoenix City|isbn = 9788184754919|last1 = Jhabvala|first1 = C.
