34 accomplices could never compete with Mirza Mahmud till the Day of Resurrection. Mirza Mahmud has the Quran with him and a deep knowl- edge of it. What do you have? You have never read the Quran even in your dreams. Another one of his peers wrote the following about him: May Allah reward the Imam Jama’at-e-Ahmadiyya’s effort towards worldwide publication of the Holy Quran and its wisdom and also for the propagation of Islam in all corners of the Earth. In lieu of this let us overlook all other matters. The learned manner in which he has interpreted in detail the truth and wis- dom of the Holy Quran is really unique. Hazrat Mirza Bashir-ud-Din Mahmud Ahmad ra wrote many books but perhaps his greatest books were his Tafseer- e-Sagheer and Tafseer-e-Kabeer. These are commentaries on the Holy Quran spread across several volumes. They are precious monuments of his love and labour to explain the unmatched beauties of the Holy Quran and its abiding mes- sage. A great part of this work was done when he was not well. He spent many long hours working at Jabba to escape the unbearable heat of the plains in the scorching summer months.
