Ahmadiyya Muslim
Ahmadiyya (, ), officially the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community or the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jama'at (AMJ, ar, الجماعة الإسلامية الأحمدية, al-Jamāʿah al-Islāmīyah al-Aḥmadīyah; ur, , translit=Jamā'at Aḥmadiyyah Muslimah), is an Islamic revival or messianic movement originating in Punjab, British India, in the late 19th century. It was founded by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (1835–1908), who claimed to have been divinely appointed as both the Promised Mahdi (Guided One) and Messiah expected by Muslims to appear towards the end times and bring about, by peaceful means, the final triumph of Islam; as well as to embody, in this capacity, the expected eschatological figure of other major religious traditions. Adherents of the Ahmadiyya—a term adopted expressly in reference to Muhammad's alternative name ''Aḥmad''—are known as Ahmadi Muslims or simply Ahmadis. Ahmadi thought emphasizes the belief that Islam is the final dispensation for humanity as reveal ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''The Holy Quran with English translation and commentary'' is a 5 volume commentary of the Quran published in 1963 by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.

Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad
Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad ( ur, ) (12 January 1889 – 8 November 1965), was the second caliph ( ar, خليفة المسيح الثاني, ''khalīfatul masīh al-thāni''), leader of the worldwide Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and the eldest son of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad from his second wife, Nusrat Jahan Begum. He was elected as the second successor of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad on 14 March 1914 at the age of 25, the day after the death of his predecessor Hakim Nur-ud-Din. Mahmood Ahmad's election as second caliph saw a secession within the movement in which a party refrained from pledging allegiance to him on account of certain differences over succession and theology; and possibly owing to a clash of personalities. He led the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community for over half a century and is known for establishing virtually the entire organisational structure of the Community (including five Auxiliary Organisations), improvement of its administration, formally establishing the ''Majli ...

The ''Dictionary of the Holy Quran'' was prepared in 1969, by Malik Ghulam Farid (1897–1977), a notable Ahmadiyya scholar and Missionary. The author, Malik Ghulam Farid, also edited the five-volume The English Commentary of the Holy Quran, covering about 3,000 pages.

This dictionary contains more than 1,400 Arabic roots with their derivatives. The Arabic words, along with the Arabic letters and particles have been explained in English. The Roots have been quoted with the respective verses of the Quran where they occur, thus the Dictionary also forms a sort of concordance of the Holy Quran.

Lane and the Aqrab AI-Mawar etc. The current edition ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
