International_Sunni_Centre Nagpur Maharashrta India:
Nestled in the placid township in northern Nagpur (India), where Hindus and Muslims peaceably coexist to the eternal rhythms of a bustling life, students wrapped in shawls against the winter chill and wearing crocheted skull caps sit cross-legged, as they rock back and forth reciting verses from Qurans resting on low wooden bookstands. Every waking hour of the day is geared to a learning called Tahfeez (learning the Quran by heart). A Muslim who has memorized all 6,236 verses of the Quran earns the right to be called a Hafiz. In the same campus students are hunched before computers in classrooms, learning vocational courses .They are preparing for very different futures.
International Sunni Centre and Mahboobul Ulama Academy International, established in 2014, is a secular seminary which combines religious and secular education with a mission to that combines theological an modern education to produce graduates who, apart from qualifying as religious teachers, can strengthen their employ ability outside of the religious sector.
It is committed to promoting understanding of different aspects of Islamic thought and practice.
It was founded by Mujahid-e-Islam Hadhrat Maulana Syed Alamgir Ashraf Ashrafi Al Jilani, of the Ashrafiyah Silsila (spiritual order). He symbolizes the spirit of his great forefather Ghauthul Aalam Mahboob e Yazdani Makhdoom Hadhrat Syed Ashraf Jahangir Simnani who had once said: “I am the Jahangeer as well as the Jangeer”.

The Sunni Centre is the culmination of a long stream of spiritual currents set in motion in 606 Hijri (Islamic calendar) by Ghauthul Aalm Mahboob e Yazdani Syed Auhaddin Makhdoom Syed Ashraf Jahangir Simnani Al Samani. He trackked from Iran to India to sow his mission in a barren spiritual soil. He remained unmarried. To ensure the continuity of the spiritual tradition and lineage, he adopted his nephew who was later christened Hazrat Syed Shaikh Abdur Razzaaque Noorul Ain Al Hasani Al Hussaini .He later became the first Khalifa and spiritual heir. This is why the order is known as Ashrafiya.

The Ashafiya mystics, like all Sufis, believe that the heart is the most important centre governing our spiritual consciousness. With diligent practice, they have perfected techniques that activate the heart, cultivating profound intuition and realization. The polished heart becomes a mirror that catches the light of truth and reflects it in one’s consciousness.

skills. Interventions at the Centre are focused on improving the quality of teaching and learning through integration of technology and activity-based approaches.
The Centre is also trying to meet the social needs of the community by providing a variety of resources and services that include Nikah Services, Sister’s Ijtima, and Spiritual healing Clinic, Funeral Services, Job placements, Matrimonial Bureau and Ambulance support. It is also undertaking informational campaigns for building awareness among marginalized communities about their entitlements and promoting citizenship skills. The Centre has trained scholars for issuing fatwas (legal opinion on a point of Islamic law).
Maulana Ashraf’s enterprise is a symbol of concerted efforts to make madrasas a medium of wholesome and premium education and increase the resilience of the community. Since the students are schooled in classical and modern science as well as secular and religious thought, they tend to be more connected to their own communities as well as to the mainstream society.This gives them a stable sense of identity, religious and otherwise, and shields them against radicalism. Madrasas, like the Sunni Centre, are thus allies in society’s fight against extremism.
