He was the son of Shams ud din Iltutmish (1211–36) and was raised to become Iltutmish's heir.As the new coronated ruler he had the following qualities ; physical aristocracy, courteous behaviour and resolved consciousness. He was a self endowed person and spent his major amount of time resolving in music. Taking advantage of his vulnerability as a king his mother Shah Turkan embraced the entire power of the throne to herself. As a person Shah Turkan was a tyrannical ruler on her command many people of the Kingdom were killed. However after Iltutmish's death in April 1236 he was viewed as being unfit to rule and was murdered in November 1236.[2]
