From a young age, Mohammad Mirza was under the tutelage of Haji Mirza Aqasi, a local dervish from Tabriz whose teachings influenced the young prince to become a Sufi-king later in his life. After his father Abbas Mirza died in 1833, Mohammad Mirza became the crown prince of Iran and was assigned with the governorship of Azarbaijan. After the death of Fath-Ali Shah in 1834, some of his sons including Hossein Ali Mirza and Ali Mirza Zel as-Soltan rose up as claimants to the throne. Mohammad Shah soon suppressed the rebellious princes and asserted his authority.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"5 January 1808","date":"1808-01-05"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Tabriz","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q80053"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"5 September 1848","date":"1848-09-05"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Tehran","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3616"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Qajar Iran","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q63158027"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P106"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Malek Jahan Khanom","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1115569"},{"text":"Khadijah Khanum Chahriqi","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q133850709"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P26"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"shah (23 October 1834 – 5 September 1848)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q184299","start":"1834-10-23","end":"1848-09-05"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"Knight of the Order of St. Alexander Nevsky","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15831432"},{"text":"Order of Saint Anna, 1st class","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15972369"},{"text":"Order of the White Eagle","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q392204"},{"text":"Order of Saint Stanislaus, 1st class","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19344746"},{"text":"Order of St. Andrew","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1126563"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Shah_Qajar","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Mohammad Shah Qajar born?","a":"Mohammad Shah Qajar was born on 5 January 1808 in Tabriz."},{"q":"What positions has Mohammad Shah Qajar held?","a":"Positions held by Mohammad Shah Qajar include: shah (1834–1848)."}],"related":[{"name":"Safi of Persia","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/safi-of-persia"},{"name":"Lotf Ali Khan","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/lotf-ali-khan"},{"name":"Reza Shah","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/reza-shah"},{"name":"Mahmud Hotak","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mahmud-hotak"},{"name":"Mohammad Reza Pahlavi","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mohammad-reza-pahlavi"},{"name":"Naser al-Din Shah Qajar","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/naser-al-din-shah-qajar"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/mohammad-shah-qajar-0cfb76878d.jpg","width":500,"height":740,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Muhammad Hasan Afshar","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Muhammad_Shah_Qadjar_-_MV_6700_-_v1.JPG"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Mohammad Shah Qajar","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Shah_Qajar","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q558231","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q558231","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Portrait of Muhammad Shah Qadjar - MV 6700 - v1.JPG by Muhammad Hasan Afshar (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Portrait_of_Muhammad_Shah_Qadjar_-_MV_6700_-_v1.JPG","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Mohammad Shah Qajar, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
