Tiger, Lion, Panther
The symbol of the tiger has a long tradition in Islamic history. During the reign of the Mamluks the Sultan (they had different names for the ruler) had a special robe decorated with tiger stripes thas was a symbol of one of the Mamluk orders. Tiger was also a popular name, Babur, Tipu and the blazon of Sultan Baybars was a tiger. In Mongolian and Uyghhur bars means tiger. Have often wonder if they have been any mis-translations for the word tiger. There are references to tiger, lion and panther relating to bravery and tenaciousness in Islamic history.
