He degraded most of the afaqi faction (with a few exceptions), and in their place enrolled the [[Deccan sultanates|Deccani]] (including the [[Maratha]]s and [[Habashis]]) to the services, retaining only four hundred afaqi troops as his bodyguard. Consequently, he brought Sunnis to power and ended Shia domination by dismissing them from their posts<ref>{{cite book|author1=Radhey Shyam Chaurasia|title=History of Medieval India: From 1000 A.D. to 1707 A.D.|date=1 Jan 2002|publisher=Atlantic Publishers & Dist|isbn=9788126901234|page=101}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|author1=Shihan de S.

==Policies==
Ibrahim's anti-afaqi policy, however, considerably weakened the kingdom as the dismissed personnel joined the service of the neighbouring rulers. This exposed the kingdom to a series of invasions. Yet it was the veteran afaqi leader Asad Khan Lari (Buried in [[Belgaum]]), who acting as a diplomatic counselor to Ibrahim, saved the kingdom in the hour of crisis.

==Reign==
The reign of Ibrahim, which lasted twenty-four years and a few months, was full of alliances and counter-alliances with and against [[Ahmednagar|Ahmadnagar]], [[Bidar]], [[Berar Sultanate|Berar]], [[Golkonda]] and [[Vijayanagara Empire|Vijayanagar]]. Although there were continuous expeditions little territorial expansion was made, for gains in one direction were compensated by loss on the other side. Thus while [[Bidar]] was conquered, [[Solapur]] and [[Basavakalyan|Kalyani]] were lost to [[Ahmednagar|Ahmadnagar]]. On the other hand, considerable acquisitions were made in the south along the west-coast. The farthest point of Bijapur territory now extended south of [[Goa]]. Further, though [[Golkonda]] was not subdued, [[Bijapur Sultanate|Bijapur]] arms were able to reach the walls of [[Golkonda]] fort and return triumphantly.

==Death==
Ibrahim was buried near the famous [[Sufi]] saint Hazrat Chandah Hussaini Ashrafi in Gogi, where his father, Ismail and grandfather [[Yusuf Adil Shah|Yusuf]] were also buried. On his mausoleum is an inscription of the names of Allah, Muhammad, the [[Rashidun Caliphs]], and other [[Sahaba]].<ref>{{cite book|author1=Farooqui Salma Ahmed|title=A Comprehensive History of Medieval India: Twelfth to the Mid-Eighteenth Century|date=2011|publisher=Pearson Education India|isbn=9788131732021|page=176}}</ref>
