Tabakat-i-Nasiri 118 - **Language:** English ### [118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.118) Respecting this notice of the Maliks of the Turks, and the Sultans of Khwarazm, the Almighty’s humble servant, Minhaj-i-Saraj, Jurjani, states, that, as the account of the rulers of the different nations, from first to last, is now being compiled in the name of his Majesty, the Sultan of Sultans of both Turk and ’Ajam, Nasir-ud-Dunya wa ud-Din, Abu-l-Muzaffar-i-Mahmud, son of the Sultan I-yal-timish — May the Almighty perpetuate his dominion and his sovereignty ! — he thinks it expedient to enter here the account of the dynasty of the Sultans and Maliks of Khwarazm, the standards of whose sovereignty, after the decline of the Sanjari dynasty, began to float on high ; into whose possession the whole of the territories of Iran came, after the extinction of the dominion of the Maliks of Ghur and Ghaznin ; who undertook numerous expeditions against infidels, and waged many holy wars ; the monuments of the goodness of whom abound in the land of Iran ; and, who, in fact, were the last of the Sultans of Islam. - [Previous: 117](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.117) - [Next: 119.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.119.1) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.sultanate.tabaqat-i-nasiri~en-raverty.118) · Pramāṇa
