[[File:Portrait of Zamana Beg, Mahabat Khan.jpg|thumb|150px|Portrait of Zamana Beg, Mahabat Khan]]<br />
'''Mahabat Khan''' ({{lang-ur|مهابت خان}}) (full title ''Mahabat Khan Khan-e-Khanan Sipah-Salar Zamana Beg Kabuli)'', born with the name Zamana Beg (died 1634), was a prominent [[Mughal Empire|Mughal]] general and statesman, perhaps best known for his coup against the Mughal [[Emperor Jahangir]] in 1626. He also served Subehdar of [[Malwa Subah]] from 1611 to 1623.<br />
<br />
==Family background==<br />
[[File:Jahangir weighing prince Khurram (later Shah Jahan) against gold and silver in the presence of Mahabat Khan and Khan Jahan..jpg|thumb|Jahangir weighing prince Khurram (later Shah Jahan) against gold and silver in the presence of Mahabat Khan and Khan Jahan.]]<br />
<br />
Mahabat Khan (originally named Nawab Muhabbat Khan Kamboh) Mahabat Khan born in Muslim '''Kamboh''' family.Mughal governor of Peshawar who served under Emperors Shah Jehan and Aurangzeb. Nawab Mahabat Khan Kamboh was Nawab Dadan Khan Kamboh’s grandson (a former governor of Lahore). The name of the Masjid and the governor who built it are frequently mispronounced by the public majority as ‘Muhabbat Khan’ (‘Love Khan’) rather than the correct pronunciation ‘Mahabat Khan’ (‘Awe-inspiring Khan’).<br />
<br />
==Career in the Mughal Army==<br />
Upon entering the Mughal service, Zamana Beg enjoyed a rapid ascent through the ranks of the Mughal army. He began his military career in the personal forces of Crown Prince Salim (who later went on to become [[Emperor Jahangir]]). Having endeared himself to the crown prince, he was soon made an officer in charge of 500 men. <br />
Prince Salim sent him to Malik Ambar to remove the campaign of Prince Daniyal in the Deccan.<br />
He also led Salim’s army during the Rajputana campaign in Mewar.<br />
Mahabat Khan was gifted a concubine from Mewar; she died in childbirth.<br />
<br />
Upon [[Jahangir]]'s rise to the throne in 1605, he was granted the honorific title 'Mahabat Khan,' and was promoted to the rank of commander of 1,500 men, and bakhshi (treasurer) of the emperor's private privy purse. Mahabat Khan rose to prominence in 1623, when he was made commander of the Mughal forces sent to defeat the unsuccessful rebellion of Prince Khurram (who later went on to become Emperor [[Shah Jahan]]) in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]]. For his loyal service, he was recognised as a 'pillar of the state',<ref name="findly">Findly, Ellison Banks. [https://books.google.com/books?id=ugxFjVDk3I8C&printsec=frontcover#PPA260,M1 Nur Jahan: Empress of Mughal India]. Retrieved on 5 February 2008.</ref> and was ultimately promoted to chief commander of the Mughal army, with a personal force of 7,000 men.<br />
<br />
==Rebellion==<br />
Mahabat Khan's success in quelling Prince Khurram's rebellion was not met with pleasure by many members of the Mughal court, who began to fear and resent the general's growing prestige and influence. Empress [[Nur Jahan]] was especially concerned, and in an effort to curb Mahabat Khan's rising power, she arranged to have him made governor of [[Bengal]], a province far removed from the Mughal capital at [[Lahore]]. Furthermore, in an effort to humiliate him in the imperial court, [[Nur Jahan]] had him charged with disloyal conduct and ordered him to return to [[Lahore]] to face trial.<ref>Mukherjee, Soma. [https://books.google.com/books?id=v-2TyjzZhZEC&printsec=frontcover#PPA144,M1 Royal Mughal Ladies and Their Contributions]. Retrieved on 5 February 2008.</ref> As a result of Nur Jahan's machinations against him, Mahabat Khan decided to take action, and so in 1626, he led an army of loyal [[Rajput]] soldiers to the [[Punjab region|Punjab]]. He had also brought the wives and families of many of them, so that, if driven to extremity, they would fight to the last for the lives and honour of themselves and their families [http://mahabatkhan.sainthwar.tripod.com/index.html]. Meanwhile, [[Jahangir]] and his retinue were preparing to head to [[Kabul]], and were encamped on the banks of the [[River Jhelum]]. Mahabat Khan and his forces attacked the royal encampment, and successfully took the emperor hostage; [[Nur Jahan]], however, managed to escape. Mahabat Khan declared himself emperor of [[India]] at [[Kabul]], however his success was short-lived.<br />
<br />
[[Nur Jahan]], with the help of nobles who were still loyal to [[Jahangir]], came up with a plan to free her husband. She surrendered herself to Mahabat Khan, and once reunited with her husband, put her plan into action. She had [[Jahangir]] convince Mahabat Khan that he was satisfied with the current arrangement, as it had freed him from her clutches. Mahabat Khan believed that he had won over the former emperor, failing to realise that [[Jahangir]] was in fact siding with [[Nur Jahan]]. Consequently, he decreased the [[Rajput]] guards that he had placed around [[Jahangir]], and prepared to return to [[Lahore]] with the captive emperor. Meanwhile, [[Nur Jahan]] arranged for an army to meet them en route to [[Lahore]]; in the ensuing battle, Nur Jahan's forces were victorious, and [[Jahangir]] was freed from captivity. Mahabat Khan with the help of Raja Nathu Mall of Majhauli [http://mahabatkhan.sainthwar.tripod.com/index.html] settled the remaining wounded Rajputs and their family in the forests of [[Gorakhpur]], Uttar Pradesh. Thus Mahabat Khan's brief reign lasted approximately 100 days.<ref name=findly /><br />
<br />
==Later life and death==<br />
Following his unsuccessful coup, Mahabat Khan fled to the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]]. There, Prince Khurram convinced him to surrender himself to [[Jahangir]]. However, with the death of [[Jahangir]] shortly thereafter in October 1627, Mahabat Khan went unpunished. Upon Prince Khurram's rise to the throne as Emperor [[Shah Jahan]], Mahabat Khan was appointed governor of [[Ajmer]]. He was later transferred to a post in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]], where he died in 1634.<ref>[http://amardesh.com/Mahabbat%20Khan.php Amardesh Encyclopedia].
