(Redirected from A Muslim missionary in mediaeval Kashmir: Being the English translation of Tohfatu'l-ahbab)

Tohfatu'l-Ahbab is a Persian work by Muhammad Ali Kashmiri, presumably written in 1642. It is the biography of Shamsu'd-Din Muhammad Araki, a Shi'a Muslim missionary who visited Kashmir, Gilgit and Baltistan in the 15th and 16th century. Araki was the founder of the Nurbakhshiyyeh Sufi order in Kashmir.[1][2] The work was translated into English by Kashi Nath Pandit.[1]
