A daughter from Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba. Named --> Fatima . (Sources say, before giving this name PUBLICLY she passed away).
Passed away somewhere in 1566-67(as per Hijri Year translation). Still searching exact date.
She also did not survive for more time, like the twins above.

Note:

This is about the pilgrimages undertaken by Akbar. MUZ went along with Akbar to a pilgrimage to Khwaja Muin-ud-din Chisti in Ajmer in 1566. The book "Studies of Islam Culture in Indian Environment " by Aziz Ahmed, cites the above fact, from Akbarnama, Volume-2.

There is a debate about the Year , but the pilgrimage was undertaken by Akbar and MUZ is a sure fact.

#8.

A son Murad . Timeline : 7th June 1570 - 12th May 1599
Mother - Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba.

He was a child of blessings(hence the name - Murad), as he just survived remotely. Was the only son to start education late .This was due to his indifferent health. He started studying at 8. His education was entrusted to Father Monserrate, this was discontinued later.

He was called "Pahaari" , born in the hills of Fatehpur Sikri. Akbar paid a visit to the Dargah at Ajmer.

After his birth, Akbar shifted the mother and the court and everyone to the town of Sikri, considering it to be auspicious, in 1571. The palace and mosques were already completed by then. Their construction had started as early as 1567(so you note that, Fatehpur Sikri construction had started WAY BEFORE Salim's birth in 1569), as per Badayuni's accounts and also as per an inscription on the MAIN mosque in Sikri complex, which survives TILL DATE ALSO.

Features:
1. Fresh colored
2. Thin
3. Tall (stature)
4. Manly and Brave
5. Dignified and Well Behaved person
6. Authority sprinkled with his movements
7. Took drinking in Deccan...Was not an addict initially..!!..

A son - Daniyal -.Mother - Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba.
Timeline : 11th September 1572 - 8th April 1604
Brought up initially by Raja Bharmal's wife.

Features:

1. He was very fond of guns and of hunting with the gun.
He named one of his guns yaka u janaza, 'the same as the bier,' and himself composed this couplet and had it engraved on the gun :-
"From the joy of the chase with thee, life is fresh and new;
To everyone whom thy dart strikes, 'tis the same as his bier."

2. Daniyal was of pleasing figure, of exceedingly agreeable manners and appearance.

3. He was very fond of elephant and horses. It was impossible for him to hear of anyone as having a good horse or elephant and not take it from him, sometimes forgetting the trifling ceremony of paying for it.

4. He was fond of Hindi songs, and would occasionally compose verses with correct idiom in the language of the native people of Hindustan, which were not bad. And, was a good reciter of Hindi poetry.

5. Daniyal was almost as fond of good eating as he was of drink.

#10.

A daughter - Shakr-un-Nissa Begum - Her name means - As sweet as sugar Or the one who sprinkles sugar.
Mother - Born to Hindu Wife of Akbar - Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba.
DOB extremely disputed. As far as we could conclude, it was in 1571. Not sure of 'exact' date.

She was brought up in the care of Akbar, that is, Akbar used to take lot of interest in her upbringing. She turned out very well. She was of good disposition and naturally compassionate towards all people.

She was the first wife of Mirza Shahrukh, married on 4th August 1593, at Lahore, in the house of Hamida Bano Begum. Her marriage took place on same day, along with Khannum Sultan(mentioned above,#6). Mirza Shahrukh was son of Ibrahim Mirza and his second wife, Khanum Begum( widow of Kamran, Humayun's brother). She died on January 1, 1653. Buried at Akbar's Mausoleum in Sikandara.
She is said to be very homely and good natured lady. She loved her brother Jahangir a lot. Jahangir is reported to have treated her at par with his mother. She also interceded on certain ocassions to secure pardon for state offenders, along with her mother and Salima Begum. The famous case is of her involvement in securing pardon for her brother Salim, from Akbar, during the former's rebellion.

#11.

A daughter
Firoze Khannum - Born to Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba in 1575.
She was an accomplished warrior in her "own right", was HIGHLY interested in statecraft and warfare, helped her mother command her forces, and controlled the forces in the absence of her mother. The interested fact about her is that, She did NOT miss targets even while shooting with a GUN.
She was EXTREMELY beautiful. She was more Rajput in looks than Persian. She remained a spinster. There were talks of her engagement with a ruler of Badakshan(this talk about her engagement is NOT confirmed, though).

#12.

A daughter
Aram Banu Begum - Born to Mariam-Uz-Zamani Begum Sahiba on December 22, 1584. Lived through the reign of Jahangir. Died a spinster.

She was the FAVORITE, and youngest/last child of Akbar, born at age of 42. Akbar was fond of her mis-chiefs. It was she, who inherited MUZ's nature of High Self-Esteem and reasoning capability, but was 'even' MORE outspoken than her mother, had her 'pert' opinions on 'every' matter, was Akbar's darling child. She was ALSO EXTREMELY beautiful. Due to her colorful/saucy/naughty nature and flightiness, she was also called - "Butterfly of Harem". She is said to be an intelligent lady, and was a Poet, too.

Akbar used to call her -> "Ladli", i.e., Darling. She was also called "Ladli Begum".
