His writings, including *Khazain-ul-Futuh*, offer a firsthand perspective on courtly life, military campaigns, and the patronage of arts under rulers like Alauddin Khalji and Muhammad bin Tughlaq. For the later Sultanate period, the *Tarikh-i-Mubarak Shahi* by Yahya bin Ahmad Sirhindi and the *Tabaqat-i-Nasiri* by Minhaj-i-Siraj are critical sources. The *Tabaqat-i-Nasiri*, completed in the 13th century, is one of the earliest comprehensive _________ ________ ________ ___ __________ ________ ____ __________ __________ ___ __________ ________.
