The Ain-i-Akbari was written by Abu’l Fazl during the reign of Emperor Akbar and is the third volume of the Akbarnama. It is a detailed administrative document providing a comprehensive account of the Mughal Empire’s administration, economy, society, and culture. It was completed around 1598. There is no historical evidence to suggest that it was revised by Sadullah Khan (who served as a Wazir during Shah Jahan’s reign, much later) on the orders of Shah Jahan.
