In Mughal custom, this created a strong bond of foster brotherhood between her son, Qutubuddin (Shaikh Farid's father), and Jahangir.

This appointment, which effectively granted him control over the region, was a direct result of Jahangir's favor towards the family due to the foster relationship.

The images do not explicitly say that the lands were given as a grant, but the appointment as Hakim implies administrative control and likely revenue collection from the region, effectively placing the area under their influence.

The family's connection to Badaun continued for centuries, as evidenced by the fact that even today, some descendants of Baba Farid reside in their ancestral property in Mohalla Shahbazpur, where they maintained a significant hold on more than half of Badaun's fertile land until the early 21st century, notably through descendants like Hifzur Razzaq Faridi and his sons.

This enduring presence in Badaun underscores the lasting impact of the family's historical connection to the region, initially established through royal patronage during Jahangir's reign.
