Ziauddin Barani

Ziya' -ud -Din Barani or Ziya' -ud -Din Barni, Persian and Urdu: ضیاء الدین برنی, Hindi: ज़ियाउट्टीन बरनी (* 1285, † after 1357 ) was an Indian historian and the first known Muslim who is a history of India wrote. He was a high official ( with the title of Nadim ), who lived seventeen years at the court of Sultan Muhammad Tughlak.

In addition to the Ibn Batuta report counts its written in Persian history to the best sources on this ruler. This 1357 wrote Tarikh -e Fīrūzshāhī contains a history of the Sultans of Delhi from the Islamic year 662 ( 1263 ) up to the year 758 ( 1357 ). His story, however, is not intended to be factual report, but is intended to represent that the Sultans of Delhi had success by talking to the Islamic law, or failed because they did not.

Works

  • Tarikh -e Fīrūzshāhī, a moralistic historical work about the Sultans of Delhi
  • Fatawa -ye Jahāndāri, a philosophical work on good government

Both books complement each other. The historical work is to demonstrate Baranis philosophy of history with the government of the Sultans of the last hundred years, and that philosophical book also reinforces Baranis view of history as the application of Islamic law.
