A translation of the Farsi work written by Mohammad Ali Kashmiri in 1642, A Muslim Missionary in Mediaeval Kashmir is about Shamsudin Araki and his mission in Kashmir. Araki came to Kashmir twice, and stayed in it for nearly twenty years. The writer knew him well because his father Maulana Khaleel Ahmed and his maternal uncle were his devotees; the details that he provides about Araki’s activities in Kashmir, especially the ones pertaining to his second visit, suggest that he must have been a witness to most of them.
