'''Murad Mirza''' (15 June 1570<ref>[[Muntakhab-ut-Tawarikh]], pg 395</ref> – 12 May 1599<ref>[[Ain-i-Akbari|Ain-i-Akbari volume2]]</ref>) was a Mughal prince as the second surviving son of [[Mughal Emperor]] [[Akbar]]. He was the maternal grandfather of [[Nadira Banu Begum]], wife of Prince [[Dara Shikoh]] (eldest son of emperor [[Shah Jahan]]).

==Birth and education==
[[File:Geburt von Prinz Murad am 7.6.1570.jpg| right | thumb |Birth of Prince [[Murad Mirza]] ]]
According to the ''[[Jahangirnama]]'', he was a son of Akbar, born from a royal serving-girl just like his younger half-brother, [[Daniyal Mirza]].<ref name=Thackston>{{cite book|last1=transl.|last2=ed.|last3=Thackston|first3=annot. by Wheeler M.|title=The Jahangirnama : memoirs of Jahangir, Emperor of India|url=https://archive.org/details/jahangirnamamemo00jaha|date=1999|publisher=Oxford Univ. Press|location=New York [u.a.]|isbn=9780195127188|page=[https://archive.org/details/jahangirnamamemo00jaha/page/37 37]}}</ref> Although some sources cite Akbar's wife, [[Salima Sultan Begum]], as his mother.<ref>Vincent Arthur Smith, Akbar the Great Mogul, 1542-1605, 1917</ref>

Murad was first educated by [[Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak]] and, as from 1580, by Jesuit priests [[Antonio de Montserrat]]<ref name="sgs">{{Cite journal|author=Spanish Geographical Society|title=Antonio de Montserrat in the final frontier|journal=Newsletter of the Spanish Geographical Society|url=http://www.sge.org/sociedad-geografica-espanola/publicaciones/boletines/numeros-publicados/boletin-no-43/antoni-de-montserrat-en-la-ultima-frontera.html|volume=43|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151126074311/http://www.sge.org/sociedad-geografica-espanola/publicaciones/boletines/numeros-publicados/boletin-no-43/antoni-de-montserrat-en-la-ultima-frontera.html|archive-date=2015-11-26}}</ref> (as tutor) and Francisco Aquaviva, who were called up by Akbar himself to teach Murad Portuguese and the basics of Christianity.

Murad became the first Mughal prince to be educated by western Jesuit priests or, as Dr. [[Oscar R. Gómez]] points out, the first person to be educated in the paradigmatic model driven by Murad's father [[Akbar|Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar]], the 3rd Dalai Lama [[3rd Dalai Lama|Sonam Gyatso]], and Jesuit Antonio de Montserrat, which resulted in the current existentialist model.<ref name=org>{{cite book|last=Gomez|first=Oscar R.|title= Tantrism in the Society of Jesus – from Tibet to the Vatican today |url=https://www.academia.edu/19202701 |year=2013|publisher=Editorial MenteClara|isbn=978-987-24510-3-5 |page=28}}</ref>

Hence, Sultan Murad Pahari has become the first person resulting from the amalgamation of Tibetan tantric Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity ([[Din-e-Ilahi]]).<ref>{{cite book|last=Gomez|first=Oscar R.|title= Antonio de Montserrat – Biography of the first Jesuit initiated in Tibetan Tantric Buddhism |url=https://www.academia.edu/19586252 |year=2015|publisher=Editorial MenteClara |isbn=978-987-24510-4-2 |page=32}}</ref>

==Military command and death==
In 1577 (at the age of seven), Murad was awarded his first military rank, receiving a ''mansab'' of 7000 men.<ref>[[Mansabdari]] system</ref> In 1584, after he attained puberty, this was enhanced to 9000 men.<ref>Dr. Ricard Von Garbe, Akbar, The Emperor Of India, 1909</ref> From 1593 Prince Murad was in command of the army in the Deccan.<ref name="Gascioigne">{{cite book| last=Gascioigne| first= Bamber| author-link= Bamber Gascoigne| title= A Brief History of the Great Moghuls: India's most flamboyant rulers| page=113}}</ref> He was ineffective in command largely due to his drunkenness.<ref name="Gascioigne"/> His condition led to his replacement by Abu'l-Fazl, who arrived at Murad's camp in early May.<ref name="Gascioigne"/> Shazada Sultan Murad Mirza died in [[Lahore Fort]] on 12 May 1599.
