Who among the following issued Mahzarnama in 1579?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option 2- Akbar
Akbar issued the Mahzarnama in 1579.
The Mahzarnama was a document that declared Akbar to be the supreme arbiter of Islamic law in his empire. It was signed by a number of prominent Muslim scholars, including Makhdum-ul-Mulk and Abdun Nabi, who were known to be critics of Akbar's liberal religious policies.
Akbar issued the Mahzarnama in order to curb the power of the ulema (Muslim religious scholars) and to assert his own authority over religious matters. It was a significant step in the development of Akbar's religious policy, which was characterized by tolerance and pluralism.
