    Hamid described how a collection of works called Khair al-Majalis began in 1854 and was approved by the master. Another important collection is Malfuzat on Burhan al-Din Gharib like Nafaid al-antas. However, Malfuzat have limitations as historical sources since authors did not take detailed notes and relied on memory, allowing for errors, and saints sometimes later revised the works, which also do not provide much political context as the focus is on Sufi saints instead of rulers.

    • Hamid has provided us with an elaborate description of how the collection of works compiled in

    Khair al-Majalis (the best of assemblies) began in 1854 and were then forwarded to the master,
    who finally approved of it
     Another important one is Malfuzat on Burhan al-Din Gharib like Nafaid al-antas.
     Limitations of Malfuzat as historical source:
     The authors of the Malfuzat texts did not actually take down copious notes when the master
    was speaking instead they penned down and transcribed the master's sayings from memory. This
    gives possibility of error and exaggeration.
     Later on sometimes their work was improved upon by the Sufi saint himself.
     Malfuzat texts do not give much information about rulers and political history of the time
    as the Malfuzat had great Sufi saints as their protagonists so these texts did not really care to
    concern themselves with either the Sultan or his entourage.
