Aram Shah is an obscure figure, and his relationship to his predecessor [[Qutb al-Din Aibak]] is not certain. In some manuscripts of [[Minhaj-i-Siraj]]'s ''[[Tabaqat-i Nasiri]]'', the words "bin Aibak" ("son of Aibak") appear after his name in a chapter heading, and later writers believed him to be a son of Aibak. However, the words "bin Aibak" in the headline may have been an erroneous addition made by a scribe.{{sfn|K. A. Nizami|1992|p=207}} Minhaj-i-Siraj refers to only three daughters of Aibak elsewhere in the text, and [[Ata-Malik Juvayni]]'s ''[[Tarikh-i Jahangushay]]'' explicitly states that Aibak did not have any son.{{sfn|K.
