From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ayub Shah Durrani (Pashto: ايوب شاه دراني; Persian: ایوب شاه درانی), also known as Ayub Shah Abdali, was the ruler of Afghanistan from 1819 to 1823. He was an Afghan from the Pashtun ethnic group, and the second oldest son of Timur Shah. He succeeded his brother Ali Shah Durrani, after his son Isma'il Mirza killed him on the orders of Azim Khan Barakzai. He only ruled for four years, holding off his own brothers, as well as the Barakzai and Indian tribes from nearby. He was imprisoned by the Barakzai dynasty, and was succeeded by Sultan Mohammad Khan.
