Muhammad Shah (born Awangku Alak Betatar; died c. 1402)[1] established the Sultanate of Brunei and was its first sultan, from 1368 to his death in 1402.[3][1] The genealogy of Muhammad Shah remains unclear.[4][3] He converted to Islam in the 14th century and assumed the name Sultan Muhammad Shah. Subsequent sovereigns of Brunei, governed by a Muslim administration, were referred to as sultans.[5]
