For the translation and preparation of a commentary of the Holy Quran in English, Hadrat Sahibzada Mirza Bashirud Din Mahmood Ahmad Khalifatul Masih II constituted a board in 1942 comprising the following:
1. Hadrat Sahibzada Mirza Bashir Ahmad(ra)
2. Hadrat Maulawi Sher Ali(ra), translator of the Holy Quran
3. Hadrat Malik Ghulam Farid(ra) , Ex-Missionary Germany and the UK

Having finished this work Hadrat Malik Ghulam Farid(ra) 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 of Arabic language such as Lisan-ul-Arab, Taj-ul-‘urus, Almufradat Ligharibilquran of Imam Raghib
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.
