Hushiārnāmā - Scope & Content:
-
The text here is a photocopy of a hand-copied version of the original, which was written by the famous poet Ch[S]ādék Āli (or Munsi Chādék Āli) who converted to Islam from Hinduism. It is a book on religion, warning people against deviating from the religious path. It discusses the Islamic conceptions of heaven and hell and the sun and moon, as derived from the Qur'an. It speaks of the gains to be derived from the complete surrender to Allah. It reflects the knowledge and the religious values that were being disseminated to the converted Muslims of the Sylhét region.
The text is undated. The original volume measures 170mm x 107mm. The main text runs from pages 1-129 and these are all that have been copied. The photocopy is missing pages 2-7, 14-17, 24-33, 36-47, 50-51, 54-85, 88-91, 94-101, 104-105, 108-111, 114-117 and 120-127.
