[[File:Dupleix meeting the Soudhabar of the Deccan.jpg|thumb|[[Joseph François Dupleix|Dupleix]] meeting the [[Subahdar]] of the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]], Muzaffar Jang.]]<br />
'''Muhyi ad-Din Muzaffar Jang Hidayat''' (died 13 February 1751) was the ruler of [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]] from 1750 until his death in 1751. His official name was ''Nawab Hidayat Muhi ud-din Sa'adu'llah Khan Bahadur, Muzaffar Jang, Nawab Subadar of the Deccan''. He was also given a very pompous title like his predecessor and rival [[Nasir Jung]]; it was ''Nawab Khan Bahadur, Muzaffar Jung, Nawab Subadar of the Deccan''. He became famously known as ''Muzaffar Jung''.<br />
<br />
==Birth==<br />
He was born to Nawab [[Talib Muhi ud-din Mutawassil Khan]] ''Bahadur'' who was the ''Naib Subahdar'' (Deputy Governor) of [[Bijapur, Karnataka|Bijapur]] and his wife ''Sahibzadi'' [[Khair-un-nisa Begum]] who was the daughter of [[Qamar-ud-din Khan, Asaf Jah I|Nizam-ul-Mulk]].<br />
<br />
==Reign==<br />
{{unreferenced section|date=January 2019}}<br />
Initially, he was appointed to an Imperial [[mansabdar|mansab]] of 3,000 ''zat'' and 2,000 ''[[sowar]]'' and later promoted to 4,000 '''zat''' on his appointment to Bijapur. He was [[Subadar]] of Bijapur after the death of his father. When his grandfather Nizam-ul-Mulk died in 1748, he decided to stake his claim to the throne in opposition to his uncle, Nasir Jung. This resulted in the first major direct involvement of the Europeans in Indian domestic politics. He joined hands with his Carnatic ally [[Chanda Sahib]] and the [[France|French]] while Nasir Jung joined hands with his Carnatic ally [[Muhammed Ali Khan Wallajah|Muhammad Ali Khan Walajah]] and the [[United Kingdom|British]]. Eventually, the serious situation in Deccan and Carnatic would result in the [[Second Carnatic War]]. During the war Muzaffar Jung was briefly captured in March, 1750 after the [[Battle of Villianur]]. But after the assassination of [[Nasir Jung]], he was released and took the throne of [[Nizam of Hyderabad|Hyderabad]], 16 December 1750. He granted territories and titles to [[Joseph François Dupleix|Dupleix]] and the French on 31 December 1750. He failed however, to honor his Afghan allies in a similar way. The resulting disagreement led to the [[Battle of Lakkireddipalli Pass]] in the [[Rayachoti]] taluka, Kadapa district, where the [[Nawab of Kurnool]] struck him in the head with a spear, 13 February 1751 killing him instantly.<br />
<br />
Muzzafar Jung's death is somehow linked to the deaths of the [[Nawab of Kurnool]] and [[Savnur|Nawab of Savanur]], [[Abdul Majid Khan I]].<br />
<br />
At this critical juncture in history the French commander [[Marquis de Bussy-Castelnau|De Bussy]] made the decision to install [[Salabat Jung]] as the new [[Nizam]].<ref name=Naravane>{{Cite book |last=Naravane |first=M.S. |title=Battles of the Honourable East India Company |publisher=A.P.H.

Accordingly, Nizam marched against the Marathas. However, the Nizam was defeated and had to pay 6 million rupees.--><br />
<br />
==Family==<br />
Muzaffar Jang had only one son named, Nawab Muhammad Sa'ad ud-din Khan Bahadur who was a minor at the death of his father in February 1751. He became [[Subedar]] of [[Adil Shahi|Bijapur]] in 1751. But died later from [[smallpox]].{{citation needed|date=January 2019}}<br />
