The White Minaret (Urdu: Minarat-ul Masih, English: Minaret of the Messiah) is a tower and monument standing beside the Mubarak Mosque in Qadian, Punjab, India. The foundation stone for the minaret was laid by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya movement on 13 March 1903. Due to a lack of funds, construction subsequently stopped. Work continued under Mirza Basheer-ud-Din Mahmood Ahmad the second Khalifa on 27 November 1914, reaching completion in 1916. The minaret has three stages, 92 steps, and a total height of about 105 feet.〔(Minara-tul-Masih )〕 The ''Minarat-ul Masih'' is classified as a historical monument. == Inception == On 28 May 1900, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to have received the revelation: Ghulam Ahmad then solicited donations for the building of the minaret to commemorate the following hadith by the Islamic prophet Muhammad regarding the second coming of Jesus: An associated advertisement argued that construction of the minaret would fulfill the prophecy: The White Minaret is situated 3644 km east of Damascus, Syria. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White Minaret (Qadian)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
