Lexical investigation of words/selected passages of Quran is among many ways of exegesis of Quran. Such work is compiled on the basis of an extensive analysis of the text of the Quran and consideration of lexical examination of Quranic words. Specialized works on aspects of Quranic vocabulary has been in the tradition of Islamic scholarship right from the beginning and there are a number of works that help in the etymological & philological understanding of difficult words of Quran.  The classic text by al-Raghib al-Isfahani named, Mufradat, is the best example of books that treat difficult words in the Quran. In this article, we have presented information regarding the works of scholars of Indian sub-Continent on the subject of Mufradat al-Quran (Selected passages of Quran). We have found that South Asian Scholars have written books abundantly in the field of Mufradaat and Luhgaat al Qur’an, in Arabic, English, Persian, Sindhi & Urdu languages. This study covers in detail an overview of the acclaimed works of subcontinent scholars which mainly split into precise and concise written books on the topic of Mufradat al Qur’an. Forty-eight books have been introduced in below pages. Our work is 1st step towards complete indexing of such works of Sub-continent scholars for easy access of scholars and researchers who want to do some research in this area.

Dynamic Portfolio Returns: Impact of Macroeconomic Variables

Very few researches have constructed both na?ve and diversified portfolio but none of the studies to the best of researcher?s knowledge have explored the impact of macroeconomic variables on both types of portfolio in a particular country. This study excogitates the relationship between naive and diversified portfolio expected returns and macroeconomic variables. The commodities and variables ? KSE 100 index, gold rates, National Savings Certificate (NSC) profit rates, treasury bills (T-Bills) yield, deposit rates and exchange rates - Euro, Great Britain Pound and US Dollar have been considered for construction of equal weighted portfolio. The macroeconomic or explanatory variables ? Producer Price Index (PPI) or Wholesale Price Index (WPI), balance of trade prices, discount rates, crude oil prices, natural gas prices and Consumer Price Index (CPI) are considered for exploring their impact on equal weighted portfolio. The commodities and variables ? KSE 100 index, gold rates, National Savings Certificate (NSC) profit rates, treasury bills (T-Bills) yield, deposit rates and exchange rates - Euro, Great Britain Pound and US Dollar were considered initially from which exchange rate commodities were selected and considered for construction of diversified portfolio based on cut off rate determined from Sharpe ratio. The yields of 12 months treasury bills considered as a risk free security were used for calculating excess returns of these commodities. The macroeconomic or explanatory variables ? Producer Price Index (PPI) or Wholesale Price Index (WPI), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), balance of trade prices, discount rates and crude oil prices were considered for exploring their impact on optimal or diversified portfolio. Monthly data of all these variables was examined from January 2000 to October 2015. The assumptions of Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM) were met before running the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) model. It was found that expected returns of both portfolios are significantly and positively affected by discount rates and wholesale price index and negatively and insignificantly affected by balance of trade (BOT).
