He expanded his kingdom and made expeditions to help neighbouring kingdoms. He was deposed and strangled to death at the instance of Azim-ush-Shan’s son Farrukhsiyar who occupied the throne in 1713. As Far­rukhsiyar was cowardly, feeble and incapable of doing either good or evil, the Sayyid brothers took full advantage of the situation. Muazzam was replaced by Shaista Khan as the governor of Deccan. Abdullah was more a sol­dier and less of an administrator; as such the whole burden of administration both civil and military fell on Hussain Ali. After certain successes he made peace between Burhán Nizám Sháh and Imád Sháh Gávali, and returned to Gujarát.
