Ghazan Khan

Ghazan Khan’s governance was characterized by an emphasis on justice, reflecting a key principle of Shia Islam. His engagement with the judiciary and the legal system sought to eradicate corruption and ensure equitable treatment for all subjects, regardless of their religious affiliations. Ghazan’s legal reforms included the establishment of a meritocratic system for judges, aiming to promote justice rooted in Islamic ethics.

This commitment to justice not only enhanced his legitimacy as a ruler but also reinvigorated public confidence in the state. Such initiatives resonate deeply within Shia thought, where justice is not merely a secular undertaking but a divine mandate. The promotion of just governance under Ghazan Khan serves as a quintessential illustration of how his reign harmonized governance with religious tenets.
