Tazkirat-ul-Waqiat is a contemporary history of the Mughal emperor humayun by Jauhar Aftabchi (ewer-bearer), who served the emperor in this menial capacity for 25 years and wrote his book by the order of akbar when materials were collected for Abul Fazl's akbarnamah. Jauhar's book was known by several names, viz, Tazkirat-ul-Waqiat, Tarikh-i-Humayuni, Tarikh-i-Humayunshahi. The author asserts that he was in attendance upon the emperor Humayun on all occasions, and it occurred to him that he should put down in writing all events of the emperor's life, of which he had been an eyewitness. He commenced writing the book in 995 AH/ 1587 AD, about thirty-one years after the death of the emperor.
