फ़िरोज़ाबाद
विजयेन्द्र कुमार माथुर[1] ने लेख किया है ...1. फ़िरोज़ाबाद, उ.प्र., (AS, p.598) फ़िरोज़ाबाद की स्थापना सुल्तान फ़िरोज़शाह तुग़लक ने (1351-1388 ई.) में की थी. उन्होने कई नगर बसाये थे. (दे. फ़तेहाबाद; हिसार)
2. जिला गुलबर्गा, मैसूर. इस नगर को फ़िरोज़शाह बहमनी (1397-1422 ई.) ने बसाया था. उसी ने यहां के दुर्ग का निर्माण करवाया था. कहा जाता है कि फिरोजशाह ने संत बंदानवाज के कहने पर गुलबर्गा को छोड़कर यही राजधानी बताई थी. यह नगर भीमा नदी के तट पर बताया गया था और इसमें और अकबर के फतेहपुर सीकरी में अनेक समानताएं दिखलाई पड़ती हैं. किले की प्राचीर के भीतर विशाल महल, जामा मस्जिद, तुर्की हमाम तथा अन्य प्रकार के भवनों के अवशेष हैं. इन्हीं महलों में फिरोजशाह के हरम की विभिन्न देशों से आई हुई, 800 बेगमें रहती थी.
फ़िरोज़ाबाद परिचय
फ़िरोज़ाबाद मुग़ल काल से बसा भारत के उत्तर प्रदेश प्रान्त का एक ज़िला है। यह शहर चूड़ियों के निर्माण के लिये मशहूर है! यही कारण है कि इसे 'सुहाग की नगरी' भी कहा जाता है। फ़िरोज़ाबाद आगरा से 40 किलोमीटर और राजधानी दिल्ली से 250 किलोमीटर की दूरी पर पूरब की तरफ़ स्थित है। उत्तर प्रदेश की राजधानी लखनऊ भी यहाँ से लगभग 250 किलोमीटर पूरब की ओर ही है। फिरोज़ाबाद ज़िले के अन्तर्गत दो कस्बे टूंडला और शिकोहाबाद आते हैं। टूंडला पश्चिम तथा शिकोहाबाद शहर के पूरब में स्थित हैं।
इतिहास: फ़िरोज़ाबाद की स्थापना सुल्तान फ़िरोज़शाह तुग़लक ने (1351-1388 ई.) में अपनी राजधानी दिल्ली से दस मील की दूरी पर की थी। यही नाम सुल्तान ने 1353-1354 ई. में बंगाल की चढ़ाई के दौरान वहाँ के 'पहुँचा नगर' को भी दिया था। सुल्तान फ़िरोज़ कट्टर मुसलमान था और उसने देश का प्रशासन इस्लाम के सिद्धान्तों के अनुरूप चलाने का प्रयास किया। इसके फलस्वरूप हिन्दुओं को, जो बहुमत में थे, भारी कठिनाइयों का सामना करना पड़ा। उनके धार्मिक उत्सवों, सार्वजनिक सभाओं और पूजा-पाठ आदि पर प्रतिबंध लगाया गया।
इस धार्मिक कट्टरता के बावजूद भी फ़िरोज़ उदार शासक था। उसने अनेक कष्टदायी और अनुचित करों को समाप्त किया, यद्यपि ब्राह्मणों पर भी जजिया कर थोपा गया, जो कि अभी तक इससे मुक्त थे। उसने सिंचाई के कार्य को प्रोत्साहन दिया, जौनपुर सहित कई नगरों की स्थापना की, अनेक बाग़-बग़ीचों को लगाया और वहाँ पर तमाम मस्ज़िदों का निर्माण कराया। उसने अंग-भंग जैसे कठोर दंडों को समाप्त किया और एक धर्मार्थ चिकित्सालय की स्थापना की। जहाँ रोगियों को दवाएँ और भोजन मुफ़्त दिया जाता था। उसका शासन कठोर नहीं था। चीज़ों की क़ीमत कम थी और लोग शान्ति से रहते थे।
