What to Focus On

  • Aristocrats held wealth and political power.
  • Priests included Brahmans and Ulemas.
  • Islam began with Prophet Mohammad's preaching in Arabia.
  • The Hijira Era began in AD 622.
  • The five basic duties of Islam are Tauhid, Namaz, Roza, Zakat, and Haj.
  • Delhi Sultanate dynasties were Mamluk Turks, Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Sayyids, and Lodis.
  • The Mughals ruled from Agra and later Delhi till 1707.
  • Sher Shah stopped Humayun from taking the throne for about fifteen years.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All Muslim rulers in medieval India were the same, so Delhi Sultanate rulers and Mughal rulers can be used interchangeably.

Sher Shah was a Mughal emperor who ruled after Akbar.

Akbar and Aurangzeb had the same religious policy.
