Ushi’s work was a seminal text taught in madrasas. | First eight pages of lithograph and cover page are missing, and have been handwritten by ʿAbdullah Jan Faruqi. Bound together with Tadhkirah-i Ghawthiyah. | 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
