hello frns i saw there were some confusion regarding Akbar;s children thought to make a post on it

Akbar first daughter was born in 1561-62 known as fatima but she died in infancy it is believed tht she was daughter of Raquia...in 1564 two sons were born to him known as hasan and hussain but they died in one month so the deadth shocked akbar and he decided to visit Ajmer chisti dargah and became ardent devotee,, in 1569 Jahengir was born to him and he was the only surviving son who outlived him he was born to mariam uz zamani Jodha baai arguably few months later A daughter Shazada khanum was born to him salima is said to be her mother (again controversial) in 1570 a son prince murad was born and salima was send to chisti dargah

he had three other children from other wives Nisa Begam Aaram Aaru Begum and son prince daniyal

to sum up

Raquia - 1.fatima (1561-62) she died in infancy

, 2. hasan and hussain (arguably) 1564 died within a month

Harkha- 3. Jahengir 1569 he suceeded akbar

Salima- 4. daughter khanum 1569 ( though some historian believe she was born from a slave girl)

5 prince murad 1570 -1599) he died in adolsocene

Other secondary wives - 6. Nisa begam around 1569-15670 some believe khanum and nisa begum were same...died in 1653

7. Prince Daniyal 1572 (Akbar was fond of daniyal he died at young age deadth was huge blow for him)

8. Aaram Aaru begam also known as Aaram Aara child of bibi daulat sabhib,...the youngest and the clear favourite child of Akbar

dunno if there are other sons too...

Very nice, interesting and useful, Arti. Thanks a lot.

There are also references to a daughter called Mehr-un-nissa, who is said to have married Tansen.

But the most curious thing is that with so many principal queens and so many lesser wives, he had so few children. He should, by any normal standards, have had dozens of kids. He was probably never around long enough, for the Mughal empire was expanded 3 fold during his reign and he was eternally campaigning somewhere or the other while his queens were stuck in Agra.

Seeing the harem squabbles over him, which are very likely to be authentic, he might also have preferred to away as much as possible!

Very interesting information. Thanks a lot. I actually got to know more about Akbar in two weeks, than I ever knew about him during twelve years of school.
