Eldest son of Emperor Humayun
About Al-aman Mirza
Lived 1528 – 1540 (aged 11–12).
Al-aman (; November 1528 – 1536) was a Mughal prince and the eldest son of the Mughal Emperor Humayun and his first wife and chief consort Bega Begum.
Birth Al-aman Mirza was born in Badakshan, present-day Afghanistan, and was his father's first child and eldest son. Upon the prince's birth, his grandfather, the Emperor Babur, heavily congratulated Humayun and his wife, but criticized the couple for naming the child 'Al-aman', a name which, according to him, was grammatically incorrect and ominous in its connotation. Babur commemorated the birth of his first grandson both by mentioning it and by preserving his own congratulatory letter to Humayun in his memoir, the Baburnama.
Being the Emperor's eldest son, Al-aman Mirza was the heir-apparent to his father but died in childhood.
