Already resented for being a woman ruler by the Muslim nobles and clerics, Razia's proximity to an Abyssinian slave (considered racially inferior to the Turkish nobles who ruled the Sultanate) alienated the nobility and clerics and soon provoked open rebellion and conspiracy. She awarded him the honorific title Amir-al-Khayl ( Amir of Horses) and later the much higher Amir al-Umara( Amir of Amirs), much to the consternation and outrage of the Turkish nobility. His power and influence grew through his close relationship with Razia Sultana, who appointed him to the important post of superintendent of the royal stables, giving a loyalist an important post and challenging the power of the Muslim nobles and orthodox leaders. A particular incident that provoked the rumours was when Yaqut was observed sliding his arms under the queen's armpits to hoist her onto a horse, which was seen as a flagrant act of intimacy. Contemporary historians were also conflicted in their assessment - many including Ibn Battutarecord that their relationship was illicit and too intimate in public, but others assert that Yaqut was just a close advisor and friend. Yaqut soon became a close advisor and was widely rumoured in the court and amongst the nobles to be the queen's lover. Yaqut rose in the ranks of the Delhi court, and found favour with the first female monarch of the Mamluk dynasty, Razia Sultana.
