His daughter Hayatbaksh begum became the wife of next sultan Mohd Kutubshah and then she became the queen mother of next sultan Abdullah kutubshah. She played great part in the politics of Golconda. A great mosque exists at Hayath nagar in Hyderabad in her name which is a tourist spot. It is being developed.

Mohd Kuli Kutub shah was also a known poet of Pharsi and urdu. He was wellversed in Telugu too.He is the founder of Hyderabad city in the name of her queen Hyder mahal ( Earlier known as Bhagmati). She was village maid and the prince fell in love with her. Once the prince waded through a stormy Musi river on horse back to meet her and it was seen by the sultan Ibrahim Kutubshah. The sultan got built a great bridge called purana pul today which is nearly 500 years old and still serving people. To day many other bridges have been built over Musi river, but these bridges have shown cracks in few years while the Old bridge is going strong. Shame to modern engineers with degrees and officers in govt for swindling money.
