Zain al-Abidin (ruled 1384–1387, died several years after 1393) was a ruler of the Muzaffarids following the death of his father Shah Shoja. He was the eldest son of Shah Shoja. His mother was the daughter of one of the tribal Mongol chieftains who roamed the region of Kerman and were important allies of the Muzaffarids, from the non-Muslim Mongol tribes of Kerman, the Avḡāni and Jormāʾi. Before his death, Shah Shoja had sent a letter to Timur, asking him to protect his dynasty. Timur distrusted the intentions of the Muzaffarids, and weary of having a potential enemy to the southwest, decided to attack and take control of the Muzaffarids. He sent a letter to the new ruler Zain al-Abidin demanding his submission, but the letter remained without a response.
