He was one of the Circassian leaders in the Russo-Circassian War and the third naib of Imam Shamil.[3][4][5][6][7]
His era was marked with various reforms in industry, diplomacy, military, administration, religious issues and more. He gradually removed slavery, strictly banned social classes, built schools and small factories.[8]
