Pir Muhammad

Pir Muhammad

Pir Muhammad (c. 1374 - 1407) was a grandson and appointed successor of Timur. He was the son of Jahangir.

In 1392 he received the governorship of Qandahar. His territory extended from the lands west of the Hindu Kush to the Indus River. In the fall of 1397 he led the first wave of Timurids into India, and was invested with the rulership of Multan.

On his deathbed, Timur named Pir Muhammad as his successor. Timur felt that none of his sons were capable of handling the job (Jahangir and 'Umar Shaikh had died, Miran Shah suffered from mental difficulties, and Shah Rukh was judged too pious to rule). Unfortunately for Pir Muhammad, none of his relatives supported him following Timur's death. He was unable to assume command in Samarkand and was murdered by his vizier in 1407.
