Abstract
Abu’l-Fażl ‘Allāmī (14 January 1551 to 22 August 1602) was the most important courtier, advisor, spiritual devotee, and close friend of the powerful Mughal (also called Timurid) emperor Jalāl al-Dīn Muhammad Akbar (r. 1556–1605). He played a central role in the emperor’s articulation of a cosmopolitan and religiously inclusive vision of empire that endured for nearly two centuries in South Asia.
