Historian and Scholar
Nūr al-Ḥaqq “Mašriqī” Dihlāvī was the son of the renowned scholar and historian ʿAbd al-Ḥaqq “Ḥaqqī” Dihlavī Buḫārī (see author 4). Nūr al-Ḥaqq was a religious teacher, just as his father had been, and was appointed as a judge at Agra by Šāh Jahān. He wrote on both scholarly and historical topics, including two commentaries, in Persian, on the works of Bukhari (d. 256/869) and Muslim (d. 261/874), two great collectors of hadith. He enlarged and extended his father’s
Tārīḫ-i Ḥaqqī (=Ẕikr al-Mulūk). He also composed poetry under the penname “Mašriqī.” Nūr al-Ḥaqq died in Delhi 1073/1662.
