Sultan Abdul Ghafur Muhiuddin Shah ibni Almarhum Sultan Abdul Kadir Alauddin Shah was the 12th Sultan of Pahang reigning from 1592 to 1614.[1] He was originally appointed as regent for his younger half-brother of a royal mother, Ahmad Shah II after the death of their father, Sultan Abdul Kadir Alauddin Shah in 1590. Two years later he deposed his half-brother and assumed power.[2][3]

He is credited for the establishment of the Hukum Kanun Pahang (Pahang Laws) which was compiled and became the basis for the legal administration for Pahang, and later Johor.
