Q. ‘Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya’ and ‘Jinaprabha Suri’ were contemporaries of which of the following Sultans of Delhi?
Answer: Muhammad bin Tughlaq
Notes: Sheikh Nizamuddin Auliya (c. 1238 - 1325 CE) was a Sufi saint of Chishti order. He was based in Delhi. Muhammad bin Tughlaq's ascent to the throne was facilitated by an untimely death of Giyasuddin Tughlaq. The mysterious circumstances of his death spread a rumor that this was a curse from heaven, for Giyasuddin had threatened to punish Nizamuddin Auliya. Jinaprabha Suri was a Jain saint who lived in the 14th century. He composed some Jain prayers in Persian language. He possibly lived in Delhi during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq and conversed with him. So, correct answer is option d.
