(1) Urdu Encyclopaedia of Islam 2
References of many articles and topics are given in the Urdu Encyclopedia of Islam but due to some reasons those topics couldn’t find place in the first published edition. Besides this, many geographical, political, religious, etc. changes has been happened in the world, during the last 50 years. For example, when the second volume was published, there were no Bangladesh or Bangladesh or Bosnia etc. The States of Central Asia were a part of Soviet Union at that time. However, their geographical and political positions have been changed. Till 16th December 1971 Pakistan consisted of two parts (West and East) but now only West Pakistan of that time is Pakistan and East Pakistan of that time bas been converted into Bangladesh. Thus, for incorporating new information and up to date the data, the Department took initiative to publish the Urdu Encyclopaedia of Islam 2. New articles, translations and updation of entry lists are in process.
