{'mughal emperors': [4, 0, 0, 2], 'akbar': [7, 4, 6, 2], 'babur': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'khwaja ubaydullah ahrar': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'jahangir': [3, 0, 0, 1], 'follower': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'humayun': [2, 0, 2, 1]}

The correct answer is option 1: Babur.

Babur, the founder of the Mughal Empire in India, was a follower of the Naqshbandi Sufi leader Khwaja Ubaydullah Ahrar. Sufism is a mystical branch of Islam that emphasizes spiritual experiences and a personal connection with God. The Naqshbandi order is one of the major Sufi orders, known for its focus on silent meditation and remembrance of God.

Babur`s association with Khwaja Ubaydullah Ahrar is significant because it shows his interest in spiritual matters and his willingness to seek guidance from Sufi leaders. This association likely influenced Babur`s outlook on governance and his approach to ruling a diverse empire.

It is important to note that the other options listed in the question, Humayun, Akbar, and Jahangir, were all Mughal emperors as well, but they were not specifically known to be followers of Khwaja Ubaydullah Ahrar.
