Explanation:

During the war of succession which took place after Shah Jahan's illness in 1657, Jahanara sided with the heir-apparent Dara and ultimately joined her father in Agra Fort where he had been placed under house arrest by Aurangzeb. She took care of Shah Jahanuntil his death in 1666. Aurangzeb,while taking his stand on the Hanafi school of Muslim law, which had been traditionally followed in India, did not hesitate in issuing secular decrees, called ‘zawabit.’A collection of his decrees had been collected in awork known as Zawabit-i-Alamgiri.
