Isamail Adil Shah (1498–1534; reigned 1511–34 ) was the king of Bijapur who spent most of his time extending his territory. His short-lived reign helped the dynasty establish a stronghold in the deccan.
Isamail Adil Shah succeeded his father Yusuf Adil Shah as the king of Bijapur as a minor. The affairs of the state were managed by the minister Kamal Khan. During this phase Kamal Khan imprisoned the young king and tried a coup. Punji Khatun the mother of Ismail hatched a counter plot and Kamal Khan was stabbed to death in the royal palace.
After the death of Kamal Khan, his son Ismail Khan laid siege to the palace in order to arrest Punji Khatun and Ismail Adil Shah. However Ismail Khan was killed in the fight at the gates to the palace. Ismail started to manage the affairs of the state with the help of his mother. Ismail was a follower of Shiah faith and declared it to be the faith of the state.
He invaded Kasim-Barid of Bidar. Later Kasmim Barid with the Muslim kings of Ahmednagar, Golconda and Berar invaded Bijapur, however Ismail Adil Shah was able to defend himself and his territory. In this battle Mahmud Shah of Bidar and his son Ahmed were taken as prisoners.
Bibi Satti, the sister of Ismail Adil Shah was married to Ahmed Shah of Ahmednagar and thus the hostilities were converted to friendship.
Ismail ruled peacefully only before waging a war against Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar, who did not aid Ashad Khan during his conquest against Timraj of Vijayanagar. Nizam Shah was unhappy because he was promised the fort of Sholapur as dowry when he married Ismail's sister Mariam, which was never handed over. Nizam Shah later tried to take Sholapur by force. However he had to taste failure when Ismail marched and captured forty elephants.
For some reason Ismail invaded Bidar, while Kutubshah was coming to help Amir Birad, Ismail sent his trusted General Asad Kahan to obstruct Kutubshah, which he did successfully and later captured Amir Birad when he was drunk. As a treaty Amir Birad agreed to give Humnabad and Bidar. He entered the fort of Bidar with pomp and seated himself on the throne, the same throne under which his father had served. After a while Amir Birad regained the favour of Ismail Adil Shah and got back the fort.
