, which was founded by Zahiruddin Babur in 1526 after defeating Ibrahim Lodhi,. The Mughal Empire in its heyday ruled almost the entire sub-continent, i.e. it spanned the region comprising present-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. It is clear that the official religion of the Mughal Empire was Islam, but Akbar Azam. Akbar's invented religion (Deen Ilahi) prevailed for some time during the reign ofAn attempt was made. But it had no effect on the public and it died out very soon. During the reign of all other emperors, Islam was the official religion and the Mughal emperors were very committed to Islam. Aurangzeb Alamgir was the most famous among them. The rest of the emperors are also known for following Islam. They not only introduced Islamic laws and tried hard to spread Islamic rule in every corner of the subcontinent.  After the death of a king, war broke out between his sons and relatives. The prince who defeated his rivals would become the heir to the Mughal throne. Babur had to fight with his maternal uncle and uncle. Bhai Jaha Nagir Mirza also became a headache for him. After Babur's death, heHumayun's son became the king, he faced the enmity and opposition of his brothers. They were hostile to him on every front. He was harassed step by step by the Afghan chieftain Sher KhanSuri defeated him and forced him to leave Delhi. Humayun left Delhi and reached Lahore. The Afghan army also chased him away from Lahore. 


He reached Multan. Kamran Mirza tried to blow up his bedroom with a cannon during his stay in Multan. Fifteen years later, in 1555, he once again gained the Mughal Empire, but he died less than a year later, after Humayun, Akbar became the emperor. No one opposed Akbar, only his half-brother Mirza Abdul Hakim took an army and attacked Lahore on the instigation of the princes, but Akbar's army defeated him and arrested him. He was imprisoned for life. After Akbar, his son Jahangir. After ascending to the throne, his son Khusrau revolted against Jahangir. JahangirAfter defeating the rebel army, he executed the rebels in public and blinded Prince Khusrau and imprisoned him for life. But Shah Jahan's loyalists defeated him and arrested himPrince Shehryar was blinded while Prince Dawar Bakhsh was killed. In 1658, during the lifetime of Shah Jahan, there were bloody wars between his sons (Darashkoh, Aurangzeb, Shuja and Murad) in which Aurangzeb was favored. While all the princes lost their lives, Aurangzeb killed his father Shah Jahanwas imprisoned in the Red Fort and declared his kingdom. After the death of Aurangzeb in 1707, the war of succession broke out again in which Prince Azam, Muzam and Kambaksh participated. Prince Muazzam was successful while the other princes fought They were killed in seven bloodsheds in ten years after the death of AurangzebWars took place in which the Mughal government suffered huge losses. Innumerable generals, soldiers and martial arts experts were killed, due to which the Mughal Empire became weak. gaveThe central government did not have the courage to punish him. He rebelled and declared himself the ruler there. The Center did not take any action against him either. Sikhs and Durrani were ruling in Punjab. The state of Rohilkhand was under the rule of the Rohila chiefs. In some areas, the Marathas were overshadowed. The Mughal Empire collapsed to the outskirts of Delhi. There was no such strong ruler who would suppress these rebels and make these areas part of the center again.
