Abul Fazl

'''Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak (14 January 1551 – 22 August 1602), also known as Abul Fazl, Abu'l Fadl and Abu'l-Fadl 'Allami''', was an Indian writer, historian, and politician who served as the grand vizier of the Mughal Empire from his appointment in 1579, until his death in 1602. His notable works include the ''Akbarnama'', ''Ain-i-Akbari,'' and a Persian translation of the Bible.

Abul Fazl was initially appointed into Akbar's court as a military commander serving in Deccan, where he was held in high regard. He was popularly known for his theory ''Padshahat'' which stated the established owner, the emperor, could not be overthrown, as he was an agent of God for the welfare of his subjects and maintains peace and harmony in his empire.

Abul Fazl is often referred to as one of the Nine Jewels () of Akbar's royal court and the brother of Faizi, the poet laureate of Emperor Akbar. Provided by Wikipedia
