Ibn Khaldun thought that Timur was a prophetised ruler, who would announce himself as 'Sultan of the World', he deemed Timur's reign since he commanded the Turkic tribes as a sign of the End Times, one of the reasons why Timur invaded India was due to his admiration for Mahmud of Ghazna.
During his conquests, Timur kept the artisans, scholars, engineers etc. alive which contributed to the bloom of his Empire

Shah Abbas, great grandson of Ismail followed the same system of the Ottoman janissaries by taking Christian children from the Caucasus and making them 'slave soldiers', and likewise with the janissaries did the Safavid ghulam also rise to be governors, commanders etc.
Shah Abbas made his sons grow in captivity and even gauged the eyes out of some of them & his grandsons, thus they grew up in terror & weakness.

The Muslim rulers of India didn't prioritize the proselytization of Islam in the Subcontinent because they didn't want to bring political instability since they ruled over a majority Hindu population, the conversion of the locals mainly happened due to the Sufi turuq.
The first thing Babur did when he conquered Delhi was to go to the graves of Sufi masters and then as 2nd to those of former Muslim rulers.
