Fakhruddin Mubarak Shah

Fakhruddin Mubarak Shah (Bengali: ফখরুদ্দিন মুবারক শাহ, Persian: فخر الدین مبارک شاه‎; reigned: 1338–1349) ruled an independent kingdom in areas that lie within modern-day eastern and southeastern Bangladesh, centered in Sonargaon.[1][2] He is also the first Muslim ruler to conquest Chittagong, the principal port of Bengal region in 1340 AD.[3]

History

Fakhruddin's capital was Sonargaon.[1] It emerged as the principal city of the region as the capital of an independent sultanate during his reign.[4] His conquests of Comilla and Noakhali were followed by territorial gains to the north Sylhet and south Chittagong.[1] His military initiatives included a successful naval action against Sultan Alauddin Ali Shah of Lakhnauti.[1] Shah sponsored several construction projects, including a trunk road and raised embankments, along with mosques and tombs.[1] Ibn Batuta, after visiting his capital in 1346, described Shah as "a distinguished sovereign who loved strangers, particularly the fakirs and sufis."[1]

Ikhtiyaruddin Ghazi Shah, who according to historian Jadunath Sarkar was most probably Fakhruddin's son, succeeded him and ruled the independent Sultanate from Sonargaon till 1352.[2]
