Lutif was born Ahmedabad, Gujarat to Abdullah Abbasi. His father was an official in the court of the Gujarat Sultanate. Career 
Lutif was a Mughal royal official in Ahmedabad. Lutif traveled from Rajmahal, former capital of Bengal Subah, to Ghoraghat in 1609. He traveled with the Mughal subahdar (governor) Islam Khan I and Dewan Abul Hasan Shihab Khani Mutaqid Khan, under whom Lutif served, as part of a royal entourage.

Mirza Nathan mentions Lutif as his friend in his book about Bengal, Baharistan-i-Ghaibi, describing him as an official at the Diwani office (revenue officer). Historian Sir Jadunath Sarkar discovered the diary of Lutif, narrating his travel from Rajmahal to Ghoraghat, and translated it into English. Sarkar describes Lutif as an official during the reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Despite only a small portion of the diary being discovered it provides an important glimpse for historians studying Medieval Bengal. References
