Muhammad Shāh was the first to raise a number of the Chakk tribe to high office, by appointing as his minister Malik Kājī Chakk, with whose assistance he retained the throne, on this occasion, until 1526. The Mākarīs and other clans resented the domination of the Chakks, and made more than one attempt to raise Iskandar Khān to the throne, but the pretender fell into the hands of his cousin Muhammad, who blinded him. This action offended Kājī Chakk, who deposed Muhammad, and raised to the throne his elder son, Ibrāhīm I.
