== Biography ==<br />
Abd-al-Baqi was born in Julaq near Nahavand, [[Safavid Iran]] in 1570, in land which his ancestors was given by [[Ismail I]]. His father Khaja Aqa Baba was a [[poet]] who went under the pen name ''Modreki'' and who was appointed [[vizier]] and nazer of [[Hamadan]], while his brother Aqa Kezr was appointed vazir for [[Lahijan]] and later vazir and [[dewan]] of Hamadan. Abd-al-Baqi held himself positions in Hamadān, [[Semnan, Iran|Semnan]], Bestam, [[Deylaman]], Lahijan, [[Yazd]], and [[Abarkuh]] and later as a revenue officer in [[Kasan, Iran|Kasan.]] After the death of his brother, Abd-al-Baqi was appointed vizier of Hamadan but ultimately fled Iran because people tried to turn the Shah against him. Having heard about the approaching army of [[Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan]] admirably when he was Kasan, he travelled to [[Khandesh]] around year 1614. Khan-i-Khanan welcomed him and gave him the position of revenue assignment and entrusted him in writing memoirs, lineage and the history of the empire. This oeuvre ''Maʾāṯer-e Raḥīm'' was finished in 1616. Until 1619, Abd-al-Baqi remained as amin of [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] and [[Berar Subah|Berar]] and died in 1632.<ref name=":0" /><br />
