Ahmad Danesh è stato uno scrittore tagiko, considerato il fondatore della moderna letteratura del Tagikistan.
Nel suo trattato Navodir-ul vaqol espresse feroci critiche al sistema educativo-scolastico tagiko del tempo, manifestando ostilità verso il controllo di numerose istituzioni tagike da parte dei religiosi. Di ritorno da una missione a Pietroburgo, Danesh espresse letterariamente il malcontento dato dall'essersi reso conto dell'arretratezza del Tagikistan rispetto alla capitale dell'Impero russo. Fu autore di vari ghazal e di varie qaside, conservati in maniera solo frammentaria.

He also supported the anti-materialistic way of thinking and was a great rival to his materialist contemporary writer and thinkers.
Ahmad ibn Arabschah war ein syrischer Historiker und Übersetzer. Er verfasste ein in arabischer Reimprosa geschriebenes Werk Aǧāʾib al-maqdūr fī nawāʾib Tīmūr über den mongolischen Eroberer Tamerlan, das von Sanders ins Englische übersetzt wurde. Weil er diesem Herrscher gegenüber sehr kritisch eingestellt war, zeichnet sein Werk ein Bild von ihm, das weit näher an der Wahrheit liegt, als das anderer Biographen.
