FOREWORD
While editing a commentary of the Holy Qur'an in English,
I discovered the perennial fact that for a proper interpretation of
its Text a sound knowledge of the Arabic language is an
indispensable necessity; and one has to make frequent use of the
standard Arabic lexicons for this purpose. The use of these
lexicons is essential because the very word 'Arabiyy' (Arabic)
conveys the sense of fullness, abundance and clearness and so the
Arabic language legitimately claims to be the most expressive,
eloquent and comprehensive language. It possesses suitable words
and phrases for the full expression of all sorts of ideas and shades
of meaning, even the particles and letters of this language possess
clear and definite meanings. As according to Muslim belief the
Holy Qur'an meets all human needs under all circumstances, it
was revealed in the language in which the phrases, expressions,
words and even letters possess a vast variety of meanings. This
fact led me, while engaged in editing the five-volume English
Commentary of the Holy Qur'an covering about 3000 pages, to
prepare a complete dictionary in English of the holy Book in
which more than 1400 Arabic roots with their derivatives, as used
in the Qur'an have been explained in all their multifarious aspects,
even letters and particles at different places in it have not been left
unexplained. The Dictionary also forms a sort of concordance of
the Holy Qur'an in as much as reference to the particular Quranic
verse or verses, in which a certain word occurs, is given. I hope
that an intelligent use of this Dictionary will greatly help the
reader of the Holy Qur'an to understand and interpret it for
himself. In the preparation of the Dictionary, I have made frequent
use of the Lisan, the Taj, the Lane's Lexicon, the Qamus, the
Aqrab ul Mawarid and the Mufradat Raghib.
Allah be praised that I have been vouchsafed ample time,
means and strength to prepare this Dictionary.

Publisher’s Note

For the translation and preparation of a commentary of the
H d
Holy Quran in English, a rat Sahibzada Mirza Bashirud Din
i i
Mahmood Ahmad Khal fatul Mas h II constituted a board in
1942 comprising the following:
1. Hadrat Sahibzada Mirza Bashir Ahmadra (MA)
2. Hadrat Maulawi Sher Alira (BA), translator of the Holy
Quran
3. Hadrat Malik Ghulam Faridra (MA), Ex-Missionary
Germany and the UK
The first volume of translation and commentary of the ten
parts of Holy Quran was prepared and published in 1948.
H d i H d
a rat Maulaw Sher Ali passed away in 1948 and a rat
Sahibzada Mirza Bashir Ahmadra was given by Hadrat
i i H d
Khal fatul Mas h other important task. Hence a rat Malik
Ghulam Faridra was made responsible for completing the rest of
the work which he, with the Grace of Allah, completed in 1963.
And the complete work was published in five volumes. Later
Hadrat Malik Ghulam Faridra abridged all the five volumes in
one volume, making minor changes in translation and providing
the commentary in abridged form given as footnotes.
Having finished this work Hadrat Malik Ghulam Faridra
compiled an Arabic English lexicon of the Holy Quran. He
supplemented this lexicon with other words and phrases derived
from the roots of the words of the Holy Quran, in order to
explain and illustrate different uses and nuances of words and
phrases. The whole project was based on standard dictionaries
(cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)a(cid:7)(cid:8)(cid:9)(cid:4) a
of Arabic language such as Lisan-ul-Arab ( ), T j-ul-
(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:2)(cid:3)(cid:4)(cid:5)a(cid:12)(cid:8)(cid:13) a
‘urus( ), Almufradat Ligharibilquran of Imam R ghib
(cid:7)(cid:14)(cid:2)(cid:15)(cid:4)(cid:5)a(cid:16)(cid:17)(cid:2)(cid:18)(cid:4)a(cid:19)(cid:5)(cid:20)(cid:2)(cid:21)(cid:22)(cid:4)(cid:5) (cid:20)(cid:23)(cid:5)(cid:24)(cid:22)(cid:4)(cid:5)a(cid:1)(cid:2)(cid:25)(cid:5)
of Isfahan ( ), Aqrabul Mawarid( ),
and Arabic-English Lexicon by E.W.Lane.
Hadrat Malik Ghulam Faridra, despite his old age and failing
health, worked on this project diligently and steadfastly. It was
his strong wish that his work may be published in his life time,
but for reasons his wish could not be fulfilled.
After his demise in 1977, his son Colonel (Rtd.) Munawar
Ahmad Malik made considerable effort to get this dictionary
published but unfortunately he also could not get sufficient
time to give it a final shape. After his death his brother
H d
Mubashar Ahmad Malik submitted the whole work to a rat
rh i i
Mirza Tahir Ahmad , Khal fatul Mas h IV who directed me to
i
prepare this work for publication. I am indebted to Maulaw
d
Fa al Elahi Bashir, Ex-Missionary East Africa for his devoted
efforts in reviewing the manuscript, reading its proofs carefully
and making useful suggestions. Mr. Habib-ur-Rahman Zirvi
and Mr. Rana Mahmood Ahmad also contributed in the
proofreading work. I am also thankful to members of my staff,
especially Mr. Faheem Ahamd Khalid, Ex-Missionary of Japan
who completed this assignment with great interest and care.
I hope the publication of this work will be a useful
contribution to Islamic Literature.
