Syed Mohammed Madni Ashraf (Urdu: سید محمد مدنی اشرف), also known as Madni Miyan,[5][6] (born on 27 August 1938 CE; 1 Rajab 1357 AH) is an Indian Islamic scholar, theologian, Mufti, Sufi spiritual leader, author, and exegete of the Qur'an from Ashrafpur Kichhauchha, Uttar Pradesh, India.[7]

He traces his spiritual lineage to Ashraf Jahangir Semnani, the 14th-century Chishti Sufi saint of Kichhauchha Sharif, after whom the Ashrafi Sufi order is named.[8]

He is the founder of the Mohaddis-e-Azam Mission and Shaikhul Islam Trust.[9][10][11]

Tafsir-e-Ashrafi

[edit]

Tafsir-e-Ashrafi is a classical Sunni interpretation (tafsir) of the Qur'an, begun by his father Mohaddis-e-Azam-e-Hind and completed after his father's death by Madni Ashraf in 2008.[1][citation needed] It is a popular exegesis of the Qur'an due to its simple style and conciseness.[citation needed] It consists of 10 volumes, originally written in Urdu and later translated into English.[citation needed]

  • He actively promoted inter-Sufi unity and stood against sectarian divisions.[20]
  • He established institutions such as the Madni Miyan Arabic College, a hospital in his name, and inspired devotional works like the manqabat "Mera Madni Ashraf aa gaya".[11]
