==Family==
Muhammad Murad Bakhsh was born on 9 October 1624, at the [[Rohtasgarh Fort]] in [[Bihar]], as the sixth and youngest surviving son of Emperor Shah Jahan and his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Murad's siblings included his two politically powerful sisters, the princesses [[Jahanara Begum]] and [[Roshanara Begum]], as well as the [[heir-apparent]] to his father, his eldest brother, Crown Prince [[Dara Shikoh]] and the future Mughal Emperor [[Aurangzeb]].

==Personal life==
In 1638, Murad Bakhsh, at the age of fourteen years, married the [[Safavid]] princess, Sakina Banu Begum, daughter of [[Shah Nawaz Khan Safavi]]. She was the younger sister of his elder sister-in-law, [[Dilras Banu Begum]], who was Aurangzeb's wife.<ref name=Hansen>{{cite book|title=The Peacock Throne: The Drama of Mogul India|last=Waldemar|first= Hansen|year=1986| publisher=[[Motilal Banarsidass]]|page=124}}</ref>

On 30 November 1657, he proclaimed himself emperor at [[Ahmedabad]], after reports that his father was ill. During the same year, he received the [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] ambassador [[Manzada Husain Agha]], who arrived in the port of [[Surat]] and was on his way to meet [[Shah Jahan]] in [[Agra]]. Manzada Husain Agha mentions his disappointment regarding the wars between [[Shah Jahan]]'s sons.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=uB1uAAAAMAAJ|title=Mughal-Ottoman relations: a study of political & diplomatic relations between Mughal India and the Ottoman Empire, 1556-1748|last=Farooqi|first=Naimur Rahman|date=1989-01-01|publisher=Idarah-i Adabiyat-i Delli|language=en}}</ref>

Murad Bakhsh joined hands with [[Aurangzeb]] to defeat [[Dara Shikhoh]], the eldest son of Shah Jahan. In fact, it was the ferocious charge led by Murad Bakhsh and his [[Sowar]]s that eventually turned the outcome of the battle in favor of Aurangzeb during the [[Battle of Samugarh]].

On 7 July 1658, while he was in a tent with his brother Aurangzeb, he was intoxicated, secretly sent to the prison and transferred to [[Gwalior Fort]] from January 1659.

He faced a trial that sentenced him to death for having murdered former [[Divan|Diwan]] clerk named Ali Naqi, in 1661. Aurangzeb then replaced Murad Bakhsh as the [[Subedar]] of [[Gujarat]], and placed Inayat Khan as the new Mughal commander of [[Surat]].
