Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah Bakhri emerged from the town of Bakhar in Sindh during the sixteenth century. He carried the title Syed Nizamuddin Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah throughout his life and wrote a chronicle about his homeland that remains a key source for understanding the region.
In around 1595, Masum Shah led the army of Mughal Emperor Akbar against the Panni Afghans. The conflict centered on their stronghold located in Sibi within northwest Quetta and resulted in Baluchistan being annexed into the expanding Mughal empire.
Emperor Akbar appointed Masum Shah as the governor of both Sind and Sibi in 1598. This administrative tenure marked a shift from battlefield commands to civil governance over vast territories under the direct authority of the emperor.
Masum Shah published his historical chronicle known as Tarikh i Sind around the year 1600. Some sources refer to this work as Tarikh i Masumi after its author and the text documents the history of Sindh during a period of intense political transformation.
Construction of the Minaret of Masum Shah began about 1607 within the town of Sukkur and the structure stands approximately 31 metres feet tall. It features a conical shape that leans slightly off the perpendicular line and an internal stone staircase contains exactly 84 steps leading to the top dome.
