Muhammad Yasin Khan was a Faujdar of the Sarkar-e-Islamabad (Chittagong) in Mughal Bengal. He succeeded Wali Beg Khan, governing Chittagong under the first Nawab of Bengal Murshid Quli Khan and Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah. In the same year of his appointment, Khan commissioned the construction of the Qadam Mubarak Shahi Mosque in Chittagong.[1][2] He served as the first mutawalli of the mosque and safeguarded within the compound two stone imprints, one of which is attributed to the Prophet Muhammad which Khan had acquired from his pilgrimage to Al-Madinah Al-Munawarrah.[3] In 1727, he was succeeded as the Faujdar of Chittagong by Mirza Baqir.[4]
