About

Kashmir Pages is a free collection of Kashmir’s cultural and literary heritage, alongside spiritual and religious writing from across the wider Muslim world.

Why I started it

I started Kashmir Pages in 2009 as a home for the cultural and literary artefacts of Kashmir, my homeland: its books, its poetry, and the accounts of those who walked its valleys long before us.

The spiritual and religious side of the collection reaches further. Alongside Kashmir’s own devotional and Sufi tradition, it gathers texts from across the Muslim world, such as Imam al-Nawawi’s Forty Hadith.

Free, and it will stay free

Everything here is free to read and download. There is no paywall and no sign-up, and access to Kashmir Pages is and shall remain free.

What you’ll find here

• The Library: public-domain books to read online or download, including travellers’ accounts of Kashmir, history and geography, and religious texts.
• Poetry: Kashmiri and Urdu verse, from the Sufi poetry of Abdul Ahad Zargar to ghazals by Ayaz Rasool Nazki.
• Religion and Sufism: devotional collections, naat, manqabat and marsiya, hadith, and writing on Kashmir’s Sufi heritage.
• Calligraphy: verses of the Qur’an and devotional texts in the classical scripts, with the text, translation and story behind each piece.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you find something here worth keeping.
