Al Jamiatul Ashrafia (Urdu: الجامعۃ اُلاشرفیہ, Hindi: अल जामियत-उल-अशरफ़िया) is a Sunni Madrasa in India.
After struggling for many years and moving locations several times, a new building was constructed using funds raised by Hafiz Abd al-Aziz Muradabadi.
[2] 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[3] 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.
[3] Mohammad Shahid Raza Khan, an alumnus of Al Jamiatul Ashrafia qualified Indian Civil Service Exam in 2019.
