Details
Rafi al-Din Shirazi (c. 947 AH (1540/1541CE) – 1620), also known as Rafi al-Din Ibrahim, was a Persian chronicler, diplomat, and merchant who served under sultans Ali I and Ibrahim II of the Sultanate of Bijapur. Born in Shiraz in Persia in around 947 AH (1540/1541CE), his father was Nur al-Din Shirazi. He immigrated to the Sultanate of Bijapur in India for purposes of trading by request of Afzal Khan, a Bijapuri statesman and his relative. He eventually became employed in the court of the sultanate, and began holding various administrative positions in the 1560s. Early in his career he held roles such as a scribe, courtly kitchen official, and treasurer, while later serving as the ambassador to the neighbouring Ahmadnagar Sultanate from 1005 AH (1596/1597CE) and governor of Bijapur Fort. Rafi al-Din visited the town of Sagara in 980 AH (1572/1573CE), near the burial place of the sultanate's founder Yusuf Adil Shah, and toured the Ellora Caves around 1597.
