One of the main aims set in this article is assessing «Munisnama» by Abubakr Ibn Khosrov as a source. Another aim is proving irreplaceable place of this work, assessed as an informative source, in the study of religious philosophical Tariqa literature. For that purpose «Munisnama» should be researched alongside with one of the significant works written in higiograhpy literary genre. The work meant for comparison is fundamental hagiographic treatise «Kashf al-Mahcub», one of the essential and leading works in Manqaba Literature (Higiographical Literature) by Ali Ibn Osman al-Jullabi al-Hucwiri. As a result of this comparison the part of Munisnama including just two chapters was discovered to be of great significance. It was dicovered that the saints, sheiks, tariqa (religious way) leaders, presented by Abubakr in the 2 chapters, were very important in religious philisophical movement Tasawwuf (mysticism). The comparative research enabled us to discover the irreplaceable role of «Munisnama» in the study of Tariqa and Mangaba Literature. As a matter of fact the material comprised of just two chapters can be on a par with other individual works for its content capacity. The study and research of these two chapters will still serve as a source for learning about more saint people and exploring many sources. From this poin of view Munisnama will still be studied and researched.
