Shams-ud-Dīn Muzaffar Shah II, born Khalil Khan, was the eighth Sultan of the Gujarat Sultanate, was the eldest son of Sultan Mahmud Begada and succeeded him on the throne. Early in his reign he subdued the princely state of Idar, but he later suffered continuous defeats against Rana Sanga of Mewar, losing northern Gujarat and Idar to the Rajput ruler. During this period, Gujarat’s influence waned in the north as Rana Sanga asserted dominance. Muzaffar Shah II died in Ahmedabad in 1526 and was succeeded by his son Sikandar Shah. His reign was marked by military challenges and setbacks, particularly against Rajput forces, weakening the sultanate’s territorial hold before the rise of his more powerful successors.
