An exposition of the religious creeds and philosophical systems of the East. The author's name does not appear, but the work is probably attributable to Mubād-Shāh, who completed it shortly after 1063 A.H. (1653 C.E.). Comprising fifteen sections with numerous subsections, it gives a fair insight into the beliefs of the Parsis, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, Muslims, Muwaḥḥids (unitarians), Philosophers, Sufis (theosophists), and several others.

A translation in Persian of a short treatise in Arabic on a few religious ceremonies (14 folios), called A'māl ḥasanah-u sunan Sunniyyah. It is stated that this translation was made at the desire of the Safavid Shāh 'Abbās II (r. 1052 -1077 A.H., 1642-1666 C.E.) by his tutor, Mullā Muḥsin b. Murtaz̤a.

An exposition of a few minor tenets of certain different sects within Islam, the sects being defined as belonging to seventy-three groups in total. It was written from a Sunnī point of view, containing chiefly those articles which were judged worthy of censure by the author, Maḥmūd al-Ṭāhir Ghazālī, commonly called "Niẓām of the Madrasah-yi Jalālī".
