The study of the Holy Qur’an, Ahadith, Fiqha and
allied theological subjects obviously form the major part of JAMIA’S
curriculum, but following the policy of WAFAQUL MADARIS the general
subjects of Social Studies, Material Sciences, Mathematics and English
have also been included as essential part of the normal curriculum at
the JAMIA. Thus the recent Pak. Govt. Federal policy is already being
implemented at JAMIA ASHRAFIA.
In addition to the normal full-length courses of studies, the JAMIA is
also running as abridged THREE-YEARS ULAMA COURSE FOR THE GRADUATES of
general stream of national Universities, under the personal
initiative, advice & guidance of Maulana Abdul Rehman Ashrafi, Maulana
Muhammad Hassan Ashrafi is designated as the supervisor of this
course.
The Academic Block of the JAMIA includes an extensive DARUL QUR’AN,
spacious DARUL HADITH, enough number of class rooms for other subjects
of study, a huge LIBRARY with a large number of standard Islamic
books, the Head Office of Sayanatul Muslimeen and an elaborate IT
centre named UMMUL QURA INSTITUTE.
JAMIA ASHRAFIA, LAHORE is thus today acknowledged as the premier seat
of Islamic Learning in Pakistan affiliated with the PAKISTAN WAFAQUL
MADARIS – a Board of Islamic Education for over 7000 Madaris-e-Islamiyya
in Pakistan. In recognition of the high standard of its education, the
Pakistan University Grants Commission has declared the final degree of
JAMIA ASHRAFIA LAHORE equivalent to Master’s in MA Arabic/Islamic
Studies.
With branches & affiliated Madaris spread all over Pakistan, JAMIA
ASHRAFIA has over 1500 male & 500 female scholars on rolls at its
branches in Lahore only. Serving the cause of Islamic education for
over half a century, JAMIA ASHRAFIA has since produced a large number

light in every corner of Pakistan and many countries abroad. These

Ethopia, Albania, Africa, Malaysia, Figi-Island, Russia, Saudi Arabic
& America etc; and these foreign scholars after completing their
studies at JAMIA ASHRAFIA, return to their homelands with a missionary
spirit to spread the message of Islam to people all over the world.
