ʿAlā ad-Dīn Fīrūz Shāh (Bengali: দোসরা আলাউদ্দীন ফিরোজ শাহ, Persian: علاء الدین فیروز شاه دوم) was the son and successor of Sultan Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah of Bengal. During his three-month reign, the conflict with the Ahom kingdom continued and the Bengali army led by Turbak Khan had reached as far as Kaliabor. It is generally thought that Firuz Shah was assassinated by his uncle Ghiyasuddin Mahmud Shah.[1]

Early life and background[edit | edit source]

Firuz was born in the Sultanate of Bengal to an aristocratic Bengali Muslim Sunni family known as the Hussain Shahi dynasty. His father, Nasiruddin Nasrat Shah, was killed by a eunuch when returning from a visit to his father's tomb.[2]

Reign[edit | edit source]

Firuz Shah only reigned for three months. On the first day of Ramadan 939 AH (27 March 1533), a congregational mosque was built in Kalna, Burdwan by Ulugh Masnad Khan, who was his governor, commander and minister.[3] According to the Riyaz-us-Salatin, Firuz Shah was assassinated by his paternal uncle Mahmud in order to take the throne.[4]
