Tabaqat-i Nasiri (
Contents
The purpose of the Tabaqat-i Nasiri was to account for the Muslim dynasties that originated in Iran and Central Asia.[2] It starts with the prophets and explains their piety and morality. This continues up to Abdullah, father of Muhammad, at which point a history of Muhammad's life is told.[2] Within his Tabaqat-i Nasiri, Juzjani tells of his religious views and his historiographical approach to Islam and Muslim rulers.[2]
The Tabaqat-i Nasiri is the only source for the Khaljis rebellion in Bengal against the sultan of Delhi from 1229-1230.[2]
