Biography
A member of the Khuzani family, he was the son of Najm-e Sani.[2] After the death of his father in 1512, he was raised by his uncle. In 1530/31, he was appointed as the darugha (prefect) of Isfahan, possibly succeeding his uncle. By 1548/49, he still served as darugha, and was the head of the family. Contrary to his father, he was seemingly only active in Isfahan. His date of death is unknown.[1]
He was the father of Mirza Yar Ahmad Khuzani, Mirza Hedayatollah, Najm al-Din Mahmud Beg and an unnamed daughter.[2]
