Rule of Firoz Shah Tughlaq

Firoz was different from his predecessor when it came to ruling. Forget about conquering new areas, he did not even try to claim the areas which were split away. Many regions took autonomy while he was in power.

Firoz Shah also gave imperative concessions to the Islamic scholars. To keep them on his side, he boycotted the practices in the kingdom, the scholars deemed un-Islamic. He was the one who started the imposition of Jaziya.

He provided the principle of inheritance to the armed forces where the officers were permitted to rest and send their children in army in their place. However, they were not paid in real money but by land.
