PC,
The chronology of the above website seems to be off. Muhammad Shah became a rebel when the siege of Junagadh/Gujarat/Somanth occured. He was originally a member of Nusrat and Ulug's army that sacked the temple at Somnath. On the way back they, after breaking the shivalinga, stopped near Jalore and Kanhad Dev attacked Allauddin's army and recovered Shivalinga, pieces of which were established at various temples around Jalore.
Muhammad Shah helped Kanhad Dev, because he was disgruntled with Ulugh and Nusrat Khan. Ulugh and Nusrat discriminated against Muhammad Shah and other "new converts to Islam" and paid them less booty they won in the Gujarat campaign compared to the muslims who were muslims by birth.
Muhammad Shah started living in Jalore but he had a falling out at Jalore and then he moved to Ranasthambpur where Hammir gave him refuge.
Interestingly the fort was very well prepared. There was no problem with food inside the fort. Hammir used to have regular concerts with musicians and this used to aggravate Khilji because khilji could hear the sweet flow of music from the fort and was constantly reminded of his life in the insect infested marshes outside the fort. This is why he wanted to discuss the terms of peace to negotiate which Hammir had sent Ratipal and Ranmal. Rest is history.
