In Akbar`s court, the calligrapher who was honored with the title "Zarrin Kalam" or "Golden Pen" was Muhammad Husayn. Muhammad Husayn was renowned for his exceptional calligraphy skills and was recognized for his contributions to the art of writing. It is important to note that Abul Fazl, Tansen, and Muhammad Kasim were all significant figures in Akbar`s court, but they were not the ones bestowed with the title "Zarrin Kalam."

Abul Fazl was a close advisor and confidant of Akbar, known for his intellectual and literary prowess. Tansen, on the other hand, was a legendary musician and one of the nine jewels (navaratna) in Akbar`s court. Muhammad Kasim, also known as Mir Kasim, was a governor of Bengal during Akbar`s reign.

It is crucial to understand and differentiate between the various individuals in Akbar`s court to gain a comprehensive understanding of their roles and contributions.
