Nasser-ud-daula Mu'in ad-Din Muhammad Ali Shah (1774[2] – May 7, 1842), was the third King of Oudh from 7 July 1837 to 7 May 1842.

Biography[edit]

Muhammad Ali Shah was son of Saadat Ali Khan II, brother of Ghazi-ud-Din Haidar Shah and uncle of Nasir-ud-Din Haidar Shah.[3] He attained the throne with British help following the demise of his nephew, as opposed to the ex-queen mother's (Badshah Begum) attempts to nominate another successor, Munna Jan (the son child of Nasir-ud-Din Haider, whom his father had disavowed). Padshah Begum and Munna Jan were afterwards imprisoned by the British in the fort of Chunar. [4]

Muhammad Ali Shah of Oudh built the Shrine of Hurr at Karbala.[5]

Death[edit]

He died on 7 May 1842 AD.[6]
