Muhammad Ali Shah

Nasser-ud-daula Mu'in ad-Din Muhammad Ali Shah (1774 – 7 May 1842), was the ninth Nawab or King of Oudh from 7 July 1837 until his death on 7 May 1842.

Muhammad Ali Shah was son of Saadat Ali Khan, brother of Ghazi-ud-Din Haidar Shah and uncle of Nasir-ud-Din Haidar Shah. 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.

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

He died on 7 May 1842 AD.
