She was the daughter of
Ibrahim of Kazan and
Nur Sultan. She married Qasim khan
Shayex Allahiar (Şäyex Allahiär) (r. 1512-1515). In 1531, she managed to put her son on the Kazan throne with the support of Moscow and the local elite. Since her son was a minor, he was placed under a regency under her presidency.
