The book “Tazkirat ul-Auliya” (life path of Saints) consists of 96 chapters, each chapter is devoted to the biography of a particular person. The Chronicle of famous religious figures begins with Imam Jafar Sadiq and ends with Abul Fazl Hasan.

Ibrahim Attar told about t the most interesting and amazing events that took place in the lives of people and spoke about their good deeds for the sake of reward. The content of this book is fully consistent with the life and spiritual culture of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. In addition, the author noted in his work that every reader should not only read the biography of scientists, but also learn from them the ability to do good and instill love. This book is more common in Muslim countries with a modern printing method, but it is valuable because it is an original manuscript that we have. We are sure that even among the written monuments preserved in various manuscript collections in our country, it is almost impossible to find such a work.
