Abul Fazl's biography, Akbarnama (Life of Akbar), was published in 1601. It provides a detailed, sympathetic portrait of the life and times of Akbar. Abul Fazl was a skilled literary stylist in Persian. He is said to have encouraged Akbar's interest in religious matters. Akbar's son, Prince Salim, was in revolt against his father. Prince Salim eventually had Abul Fazl ambushed and killed.
