Introducing Muhammad Abdul Ghani Moura Farrokhabadi

Abstract

The tazkira al-Shaarai of Maulana Mohammad Abdul Ghani Farrukhabadi (1916 AD) is considered to be one of the latest public research tazkira in the subcontinent, which has not been known and studied until now. This book can be considered under Armaghan Asefi, which mentions poets whose poems are included in that book. This tazkira is the biography of 1027 poets, which is arranged in alphabetical order based on their purity. Our goal in this article is to take a brief look at the author's life and examine the content of his poets' biography. The importance of this biography is that the author, while being brief, describes the biography of the poets in one sentence to one paragraph, based on purity, name, year of death, country, Malik and Ahed have been classified; on this basis, giving useful information such as: poets' names and lineage, mention of the date of death of most of them, and mention of travels are other features of this tazkira, which have received less attention in other tazkira. Despite the abundance of poets' names, this tazkira can be considered as the most concise book of Persian tazkira in the form of a table, which is based solely on historical and documented information.
