\nThe Fatawa-i-Alamgiri was a monumental effort aimed at providing a standardized legal framework for the administration of justice in the Mughal Empire according to the prevailing Islamic legal tradition. It served as the main legal authority in British India until the enactment of modern codes like the Indian Penal Code. Fatawa-i-Jahandari is a historical and political treatise written by Ziauddin Barani during the Delhi Sultanate period, not a legal digest compiled by Aurangzeb.
