"[Those of the unbelievers] who were spared the sword (baqiyat al-sayf) became Muslims, and they took [Shah Jalal] as their king. Once [Shah Jalal] was satisfied that the light of Islam would evermore illuminate the kingdom, he relinquished his rule, having bestowed the kingship on one of his companions and the viziership on another. He embraced solitude and the path of God and dedicated himself to riyada and mujahada. It is said that the name of the companion to whom he gave the kingship was Sultan Sikandar Ghazi."
