Six heretical sects in early Islam, didactic chart published by the Maṭbaʻ-i Mujtabāʼī, with the incumbent of the Dargāh of Shaykh Kamāl al-Dīn.

Notable publications include the sayings of Ḥaz̤rat Shāh ʻAbd al-Ḥaqq Aḥmad Ridaulvī who belonged to the Ṣābirī branch of the Chishti order. He was the third in this order after Ṣābir Kalerī and died in 1433-34 CE.[1]

A number of the lithographs of the publishing house have been scanned and are available through several libraries, for example the Islamic Lithographs digital collection at McGill University Library.[2] McGill has made some of the works available via the Internet Archive, for example the Laṭāʼif-i Quddūsī of ʻAbd al-Quddūs Gangūhī (1453-1537 CE).[3] Another important source for the press is the online digital library of the Chughutai Public Library, Lahore.[4]

One work from the press is also available from the Islamic Heritage Project at Harvard University.[5]
