Notes
A Persian lithograph of Tuhfat al-Murshid, an early 19th-century biography of Hazrat Fazl Ahmad Maʿsumi, also known as Hazrat Jio or Hazratji Sahab Peshawari (an ancestor of ʿAbdullah Jan Faruqi), written by his son Fazl-i Haqq's deputy, Nizam al-Din, the brother of the custodian of Mazar-i Sharif in Balkh, Afghanistan. This is one of the most detailed biographies from the period, documenting the close connections between South and Central Asian spiritual and academic circles. At the end of the book, there are biographical entries for Fazl Ahmad's deputies from Bukhara, Khoqand, Afghanistan, Daghestan, Punjab, and other regions. | Abdullah Jan Faruqi’s notes are scattered throughout the book, particularly at the beginning and end. Two additional short biographies, printed in a separate lithograph, are included after Tuhfat al-Murshid. This second lithographed book, entitled Tuhfat al-Awliyaʾ, is listed separately. | Digitization for the Sufi Shrine Libraries of the Afghan-Pakistan Frontier collection was sponsored by the Modern Endangered Archives Program with funding from Arcadia. | public domain
