Little is known about Alauddin Shah, due to lack of documentation.[2]
Reign
In 1594, after Tajul Ariffin died, Raja Ali, grandson of Ahmad Tajuddin Shah was appointed the 5th sultan of Perak. He ascended the throne with the title Sultan Alauddin Shah and settled by the river in an area now known as Bota Kanan. Alauddin Shah ruled Perak for about nine years from 1594 to 1603. Sultan Alauddin Shah's government was centered in Pulau Bota and during his reign, Aceh still housed several Acehnese noblemen to oversee and administer Perak.[2]
Death
Alauddin Shah died in 1603 and was titled Marhum Mangkat di Darat. Originally, he was buried on the banks of the Perak River at the end of Pulau Bota. When the tomb almost collapsed into the river, it was moved behind a row of shops in the town of Bota Kanan. Alauddin Shah's mausoleum is located in the town of Bota Kanan and is close to Ahmaddin Shah's mausoleum.[1]: 99 [2]
