Rajouri

On this Yaqub Chick martyred him by falsely accusing him of conspiring with Shams Chick and Mughal ruler India against him. Rented Qazi Musa Shaheed was considered the judge of the Sunni country. His only guilt was that he refused to issue a fatwa at the behest of Yaqub Chick, asking the muezzins to include the word "Ali Wali Allah" in the call to prayer, as they considered it against the teachings of Muhammad. Fed up with the growing tyranny of the Czech rulers, two sons of Kashmir, Baba Dawood Khaki and Sheikh Yaqub Sarbari, the last Sultan Yusuf Shah in the time of Czech, ruled the Mughal court of Delhi in 1585 AD. On reaching there, the Sunni Muslims complained to the king about the horrors of Kashmir and the many incidents of humiliation. He was very impressed and ordered his Sardar Bahadur Singh to assassinate the state. But the campaign was not successful. The Mughal emperor then led a second expedition led by Mir Qasim Bahri and Mirza Yusuf, who won and ended the 27-year rule of the Czech dynasty. Returning to Delhi, these Mughal chiefs described the natural landscapes, beauty and healthy climate of Kashmir in such a captivating way that Emperor Akbar the Great longed to see the region as a paradise. So he first went to Kashmir in 1587 AD, then in 1590 AD and for the third time in 1598 AD to visit and enjoy Kashmir. He also took his Crown Prince Saleem with him. During their stay, each emperor reiterated the construction of modern buildings, gardens and twelve rivers and carried out public works. After the death of King Akbar, Prince Nooruddin Muhammad Jahangir ascended the throne of Delhi. He visited Kashmir four times during his tenure. He first visited Kashmir in March 1620 AD. Then in the year 1623 AD he visited Kashmir for the second time. The third time he lived here was in 1625 AD. And for the fourth and last time Emperor Jahangir visited Kashmir in 1647 AD. This time, on the way back from the trip, his health suddenly deteriorated. And in the name of Rajouri, [2] he responded to the caller to death. He said that Kashmir was beautiful for the kings, solitary for the poor and dervishes. He often enjoyed the idea of ​​Kashmir and even during his stay in Delhi, his heart was drawn to the lush greenery, mountains and rivers of Kashmir as well as its beautiful climate. And he would say helplessly.


In Rajouri, the body of Emperor Jahangir was enclosed in a coffin and brought to Lahore in the form of a coffin, and his queen Noor Jahan laid him to rest in the tomb of Jahangir at Shahdara, which is now built by his son Shah Jahan What During the Mughal period, Kashmir witnessed significant progress in construction and administration.
