He conquered the north Indian plain and was one of the founders of Muslim rule in India.

Coinage %
The coins issued in the name of Muhammad Bin Sam were issued from (a) Ghazna and elsewhere in the Ghurid territories outside India; (b) northern India by his general Aibak; and (c) Bengal (east India) by Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji.

In India, the Muslim conquerors continued to strike the indigenous gold and billon coin types that were in use but added the name of Muhammad Bin Sam. The Billon Jitals or Dehliwals can be assigned to three minting places - Dehli (or Delhi), Lahore and Badaun, They can also be divided into 3 main types:
 

• bull on the obverse and horseman on reverse (as in this coin)
• ruler's name in Arabic on obverse and horseman on reverse
• ruler's title in Arabic spread over both sides
