after his return to delhi, maqbul earned the trust of tughlaq. he accompanied the sultan on an expedition to gujarat to subdue the rebels in broach. he put all the rebels to death and captured enormous amount of wealth. subsequently, by making himself indispensable in the delhi durbar (court), he became the finance minister and finally, the wazir, of the delhi sultanate under feroz shah tughlaq. when feroz shah was away on a campaign to sind and gujarat for six months and no news was available about his whereabouts maqbul ably protected delhi. he was the most highly favoured among the significant number of the nobles in feroz shah's court and retained the trust of the sultan. feroz shah used to call maqbul as 'brother'. the sultan even remarked that khan-i-jahan was the real ruler of delhi. the fiscal and general administration were entirely left to maqbul. on his part, maqbul never exceeded his powers, and kept the sultan fully informed. he was also scrupulously honest. although he did take presents from the governors of the provinces, he entered them in the royal treasury. he was also strict in collecting government dues. his powers, however, were restricted by the auditor ("mustaufi") and by the accountant-general ("mushrif"). sometimes it led to bitter disputes in which the sultan mediated. on one occasion, maqbul threatened to leave for mecca when he came into conflict with ain-i-mahru, the accountant general. sultan had to retrench ain-i-mahru. maqbul was paid annually 13 lakh tankas over and above the expenses of his army and servants and separate allowances for his sons and sons-in-law. maqbul also maintained a retinue of 2000 concubines.
