Historical Usage
Chinar was the name given to the elegant Mughal mansion built by Emperor Shah Jahan in Lahore, Pakistan, in the late 17th century. The name Chinar is derived from the Persian word for 'cedar tree', which was favoured by the Mughals for its magnificent and long-lasting nature.
Late 17th century
Chinar was also the name given to a significant Islamic scholarly tradition in medieval Spain, particularly in Granada, which emerged in the 11th century. The name Chinar comes from the Arabic word for 'pomegranate', which was used as a symbol of knowledge and wisdom. Scholars of this tradition were known for their extensive knowledge of the Quran and Hadith, as well as their contributions to various fields of science and philosophy.
