The earlier portion of the work dealing with the Sikh Gurūs is an imperfect account and betrays the author's ignorance about the origin and development of Sikh brotherhood during the first two hundred years. For example, Gurū Nānak's progeny is called Bhallās instead of Bedīs; the next seven Gurūs are given only a couple of sentences; Gurū Tegh Bahādur is described as a rebel and a tyrant who took pleasure in shooting down his horses and men; and the incidents from the life of Bandā Siṅgh Bahādur overlap those from the life of Gurū Gobind Siṅgh; Bandā Siṅgh is mentioned as launching upon his exploits in the reign of Farrukh-Sīyar who in fact became emperor five years after the death of the Gurū. Thereafter, however, the author's account comes nearer to those of his other contemporaries and can be useful to serious students of history. Describing government's expeditions against Bandā Siṅgh and his ultimate capture and execution, the author bears testimony to the fact that not a single Sikh out of the one thousand and six hundred captured along with Bandā Siṅgh accepted the offer to convert to save his life. He particularly mentions a young Sikh whom the Kotwāl (executive magistrate) of Delhi offered to accept as his own son and get him a reprieve only if he accepted Islam; but the offer was bluntly rejected and the boy met his death as serenely as did his other brothers-in-faith.

According to him, the Sikh term ardās is a modified form of 'arzdāsht, Persian term meaning prayer or request made to elders or to the rulers. The Sikh ardās is their prayer to the Gurū or God. The author is familiar with many other terms used by Sikhs such as Gurū, Nānakpanthī, (Gurū) Granth, Panth, Khālsā, Dal, Dal Khālsā, Khālsā Jīo, Buḍḍhā Dal, Vāhigurū, Vāhigurū Jī Kī Fateh, Mahāprashād, Buṅgah, Shabad, Salok, Gurū Kā Sikh, Misl, Nihaṅg, Sukkhā, etc. Erroneously he equates sukkhā with Nihaṅg; sukkhā is an intoxicating drug popular with Nihaṅgs. The author of the Haqīqāt states that the Sikh faith has no prejudice against Islam. Rather the Sikh religion treats all human beings as equals. In Gurū Nānak's scripture humility, according to this work, has precedence over meditation and the whole world is considered to be God's manifestation.
