It stands right in the middle of a dusty and traffic-congested street, like a lotus blooming in the mud. Mahabat Maqbara Junagadh bewilders you with its sheer exquisiteness in the least expected location. It stands in the midst of the Chittakhana Chowk, mute in grandeur, oblivious to the chaos around it, smug in its beauty. Besides, it stands another architectural marvel of Junagadh, the Bahauddin Ka Maqbara, a beautiful masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture, and a gem in its own right. Both these exquisite structures evoke a sense of deja vu, and why not? Both have elements of design and architecture which are similar to other famous monuments of the world, be it the cathedrals of Europe or India’s own Taj Mahal. Mahabat Maqbara History – About Mahabat Maqbara Mahabat Maqbara, Junagadh, Gujarat, India The Mahabat Maqbara is a mausoleum that is built over the tomb of Nawab Sir Muhammad Mahabat Khanji II.

Pursuant to a divine commandment Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) also made known in his booklet “ Al-Wasiyyat” the establishment of a celestial cemetery (Bahishti Maqbara). God Almighty showed him a plot of land in a vision that was called Bahishti Maqbara. It was shown to him that it contained the graves of such select members of his Community who are destined to be in heaven. Accordingly, Huzoor (as) donated a piece of land belonging to him and named it Bahishti Maqbara. For anyone to be buried there, the following three requirements had to be fulfilled: Whoever desires to be buried in this graveyard should contribute towards the expenses of its maintenance according to his capacity. Whoever desires to be buried therein should make a testamentary disposition that one-tenth of their property shall, under the direction of the Movement, be devoted to the propagation of Islam, and carrying out the teachings of the Quran. It will be open to every righteous person whose faith is perfect to provide for this purpose, in his will, more than one-tenth, but it shall not be less. Whoever shall lead a righteous life and abstain from all that is prohibited and shall not do anything that amounts to the association of something with God or to innovation in the faith. He should be a true and sincere Muslim. (Al-Wasiyyat pp. 16-19). In accordance with these instructions, Bahishti Maqbara has been operating in Qadian and in Rabwah where those Ahmadis are buried who have fulfilled the above ...

Between the vast expanses of Siberia and the sprawling Gobi desert lies Mongolia, the world’s most sparsely populated country. Over the past 50 years, this nation of just over 3 million, covering a landmass more than twice the size of Texas, has navigated a transition from a mostly nomadic lifestyle to a market economy. It may not seem like it at first, but Mongolia could be a much wealthier nation within the next 20 years, on the level of the “Asian Tigers” of the 1990s: Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan. It’s been called the “ Turquoise Hill In 2001, Canadian company Ivanhoe Mines The Boom That Never Arrived Since Rio Tinto took over, Oyu Tolgoi has been an archetype of the Mongolian mining industry: full of promise and possibility for more expansive development, but dogged by economic concerns and environmental side effects. In 2013, a US$5 billion expansion was put on Even though the dispute was eventually resolved, the spurt of economic growth came to a grinding In a wider sense, Mongolia’s repeated inability to launch a mining boom could potentially be the first signs of a Tangible Costs In addition to the economic risks of the current mining plans, Rio Tinto has a track record as an environmental offender. From its Additionally, despite much of the world vowing to move past coal and other fossil fuels, Mongolia is seeking to ramp up coal production. The country’s coal industry is based around sites such as Yet the effects of coal on the Mongolian environ...

For the second time this year, Mongolians are protesting against the government in significant numbers. In April, Interpretations in Mongolia continue to focus on political conspiracies rather than actually addressing issues around corruption or the government’s puzzling strategy to stake its fiscal fate on coal at a time when the global energy transition and Mongolia’s potential role in it are pointing in very different directions. This fall has seen several strands of discussions on coal in Mongolia. First, the government placed the management of state-owned Erdenes Tavan Tolgoi under closer supervision because of allegations regarding shady dealings in its deliveries of coal to China. Then the budget that was passed by the government in November made some fairly heroic assumptions about resumption and volume of coal exports of China to fund a looming round of payments on sovereign debt. The third string has been a loud chorus focused on energy transition from international donors, many of whom are eager again to engage Mongolia in a values-based cooperation policy following Russian aggression against Ukraine and the Diplomat Brief Weekly Newsletter N Get briefed on the story of the week, and developing stories to watch across the Asia-Pacific.

Many replicas of great buildings are comically small, or they are built in a kitschy fashion almost mocking the original. The Bibi Ka Maqbara in Maharashtra, India does neither of those things. It is itself a grand maqbara, meaning “holy tomb” in Arabic, with inlaid walls and marble screens, surrounded by turrets and a reflecting pool. But it is small compared to the inspiration, theTaj Mahal in Agra, over 1000 miles to the north. Known as the “poor man’s Taj Mahal” or the “mini Taj”, like the original it is a monument built in memory of love lost. In this case it was a mother’s love, rather than a wife’s, that inspired Prince Azam Shah to build the structure between 1651 and 1661. The mini Taj was erected less than 30 years after the original, composed of slightly more modest building materials, with limestone and plaster as well as marble under the all-marble onion dome. Marble was abundant in northern India, near Jaipur where the Taj Mahal was built. In order to build the Bibi Ka Maqbara, the marble had to hauled on carts to the new capital of the Mughal empire. The construction took only 6 years, compared to the 22 years for the Taj Mahal. The grounds cover 458 x 275 meters of gardens. At the center of the building is the lone tomb of Rabia-ul-Daurani, third wife of the emperor, and mother of the architect. It may lack some of the staggering size and grandeur of the original, but it does not attract the millions of visitors, or the strict guards who threaten to remove ...
