    Shahjahan abolished the Persian court custom of Sijda. Shahjahan also abolished the discipleship ritual and other practices of his father and grandfather. This pleased the orthodox Muslims immensely. The tradition of Khanazadgi, born to the house, was maintained, in which high-ranking nobles (Amirs) were identified as the emperor's extended household. Khanazadgi and the hereditary service associated with it applied to officers in high position and in financial administration (Diwans, etc.)
