Siraj al-Tawarikh (Dari: سراج التواریخ) also spelled as Siraj al-Tavarikh, Sirāj al-Tawārīkh and Sirāj al-Tavārīkh, is a book on 18th and 19th century Afghan history by Faiz Mohammad Katib Hazara.
[3] The book was written on the idea of Amir's commission.
The first was a history of Afghanistan entitled Toḥfat al-ḥabīb (Ḥabīb’s gift) in honor of the amir, but Ḥabīb-Allāh Khan deemed the finished work unacceptable and ordered Fayż Moḥammad to start over.
The revised version is the three-volume history of Afghanistan entitled Serāj al-tawārī (Lamp of Histories), an allusion to the amir’s honorific “Lamp of the Nation and Religion” (Serāj al-mella wal-dīn).
