His father [[Alauddin Husain Shah]] was the first Sultan of the [[Hussain Shahi dynasty]] and the father of eighteen sons and at least eleven daughters. Among Nasrat's siblings were [[Shahzada Danyal\|Danyal]] and [[Ghiyasuddin Mahmud Shah\|Mahmud]].<ref name=husain>{{cite Banglapedia\|author=Chowdhury, AM\|article=Husain Shah}}</ref>

	After his father's death in 1519, Nasrat ~~Shah~~ rose to the throne.

Nasrat Shah did not respond and imprisoned the envoy. However, Nasrat Shah later negotiated peace deals and freed the envoy, in order to send gifts to Babur.

			After his father's death in 1519, Nasrat rose to the throne as Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah. Trailing the policies of his father, Nasrat Shah expanded the Sultanate territory early on in his reign and [[Khalifatabad]] emerged as an important mint-town.<ref>{{cite Banglapedia\|article=Khalifatabad\|author=Akhtaruzzaman, Muhammad}}</ref> Following [[Babur]]'s invasion of India, [[Mahmud Lodi]] and his Afghan confederates fled to Bengal for safety.

	After being pestered by the Afghans, the Mughals declared war against them and their Bengali allies. Attempting to defeat the Afghans on the way, the [[Mughal Empire\|Mughals]] proceeded towards Bengal. Babur took control of [[Tirhut]] before stopping at [[Buxar]], where he requested Bengal to dismiss their troops camped at the banks of the [[Ghaghara]]. Nasrat Shah's refusal led to the [[Battle of Ghaghra]], taking place on 6 May 1529, in which the Mughals fought the Afghans and Bengalis. The Mughal Empire were victorious, and their territory extended to Ghaghara's eastern bank in [[Bihar]] though they did not penetrate Bengal.<ref>{{cite Banglapedia\|author=Bhuiyan, Golam Kibria\|article=Babur}}</ref> Nasrat Shah maintained Bengal's status as an independent nation.<ref>{{cite book\|title=A History of India Under the Two First Sovereigns of the House of Taimur, Báber and Humáyun\|author=Erskine, William\|publisher=[[Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans]]\|year=1854}}</ref>		After being pestered by the Afghans, the Mughals declared war against them and their Bengali allies.
