Mohammad Ghaznavi (Persian: محمد غزنوی) (died 1041) ascended the throne upon the death of his father Mahmud in 1030. He was the younger of a set of twins; this circumstance resulted in civil strife. His reign lasted five months before he was overthrown by his twin Ma’sud I after which he was blinded and imprisoned. Nine years later he was reinstated for a year before being slain by his nephew Maw’dud.
