To whom had Aurangzeb honored with the title of ‘Sahibat-uz-Zamani’?

Question

Accepted Answer

Jahanara. Jahanara was the eldest daughter of Shah Jahan. She was Shah Jahan's favourite daughter and wielded major political influence during her father's reign, having been described as "the most powerful woman in the empire" at that time. 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. As a devoted daughter, she took care of Shah Jahan until his death in 1666. Later, Jahanara reconciled with Aurangzeb who gave her the title Empress of Princesses and she replaced her younger sister, Princess Roshanara Begum, as First Lady. Jahanara died unmarried during Aurangzeb's reign. Aurangzeb honored her with the title of ‘Sahibat-uz-Zamani’.
