\nBadshah Nama (or Padshahnama) is the official chronicle of the reign of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. While several authors contributed to the historical accounts of Shah Jahan’s reign, the most famous and widely accepted author of the official Badshah Nama covering the first twenty years of his rule is Abdul Hamid Lahori. Abul Fazl was the historian and chronicler during Emperor Akbar’s reign, famous for writing the Akbarnama and Ain-i-Akbari. Shah Jahan was the ruler whose reign was chronicled, not the author himself. Sadullah Khan was a prominent minister during Shah Jahan’s reign.
