Tahir and his family became entrenched in Iranian politics and became powerful, frustrating Al-Ma'mun's desire to centralize and strengthen Caliphal power. The rising power of the <a href="/wiki/Tahirid_dynasty" title="Tahirid dynasty">Tahirid family</a> became a threat as Al-Ma'mun's own policies alienated them and other opponents. </p><p>Al-Ma'mun worked to centralize power and ensure a smooth succession. Al-Mahdi proclaimed that the caliph was the protector of Islam against heresy, and also claimed the ability to declare orthodoxy.

The <i>Ulema</i> and the major Islamic law schools took shape in the period of Al-Ma'mun. In parallel, Sunnism became defined as a religion of laws. Doctrinal differences between Sunni and Shi'a Islam became more pronounced. </p><p>During the Al-Ma'mun regime, <a href="/wiki/List_of_border_conflicts" title="List of border conflicts">border wars</a> increased. Al-Ma'mun made preparations for a major campaign, but died while leading an expedition in <a href="/wiki/Sardis" title="Sardis">Sardis</a>. Al-Ma'mun gathered scholars of many religions at Baghdad, whom he treated well and with tolerance.

He faced Khurramite revolts. One of the most difficult problems facing this Caliph was the ongoing uprising of Babak Khorramdin. Al-Mu'tasim overcame the rebels and secured a significant victory. <a href="/wiki/Theophilos_(emperor)" title="Theophilos (emperor)">Byzantine emperor Theophilus</a> launched an attack against Abbasid fortresses.

He continued his predecessor's support for the Islamic Mu'tazila sect, applying brutal torture against the opposition. Arab mathematician <a href="/wiki/Al-Kindi" title="Al-Kindi">Al-Kindi</a> was employed by Al-Mu'tasim and tutored the Caliph's son.

Al-Mutawakkil involved himself in religious debates, as reflected in his actions against minorities. The Shīʻi faced repression embodied in the destruction of the <a href="/wiki/Imam_Husayn_Shrine" class="mw-redirect" title="Imam Husayn Shrine">shrine of Hussayn ibn ʻAlī</a>, an action that was ostensibly carried out to stop pilgrimages. Al-Mutawakkil continued to rely on Turkish statesmen and slave soldiers to put down rebellions and lead battles against foreign empires, notably capturing Sicily from the Byzantines. Al-Mutawakkil was assassinated by a Turkish soldier. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Al-Muntasir" title="Al-Muntasir">Al-Muntasir</a> succeeded to the Caliphate on the same day with the support of the Turkish faction, though he was implicated in the murder. The Turkish party had al-Muntasir remove his brothers from the line of succession, fearing revenge for the murder of their father. Both brothers wrote statements of abdication. During his reign, Al-Muntasir removed the ban on pilgrimage to the tombs of Hassan and Hussayn and sent Wasif to raid the Byzantines. Al-Muntasir died of unknown causes. The Turkish chiefs held a council to select his successor, electing <a href="/wiki/Al-Musta%27in" title="Al-Musta'in">Al-Musta'in</a>. The Arabs and western troops from Baghdad were displeased at the choice and attacked. However, the Caliphate no longer depended on Arabian choice, but depended on Turkish support. After the failed Muslim campaign against the Christians, people blamed the Turks for bringing disaster on the faith and murdering their Caliphs. After the Turks besieged Baghdad, Al-Musta'in planned to abdicate to <a href="/wiki/Al-Mu%27tazz" title="Al-Mu'tazz">Al-Mu'tazz</a> but was put to death by his order.

At <a href="/wiki/Samarra" title="Samarra">Samarra</a>, the Turks were having problems with the "Westerns" (Berbers and <a href="/wiki/Moor_(people)" class="mw-redirect" title="Moor (people)">Moors</a>), while the Arabs and Persians at Baghdad, who had supported al-Musta'in, regarded both with equal hatred. Al-Mu'tazz put his brothers Al-Mu'eiyyad and Abu Ahmed to death. The ruler spent recklessly, causing a revolt of Turks, Africans, and Persians for their pay. Al-Mu'tazz was brutally deposed shortly thereafter. <a href="/wiki/Al-Muhtadi" title="Al-Muhtadi">Al-Muhtadi</a> became the next Caliph. He was firm and virtuous compared to the earlier Caliphs, though the Turks held the power. The Turks killed him soon after his ascension. <a href="/wiki/Al-Mu%27tamid" title="Al-Mu'tamid">Al-Mu'tamid</a> followed, holding on for 23 years, though he was largely a ruler in name only.

Al-Mu'tamid later transferred authority to his son, <a href="/wiki/Al-Mu%27tadid" title="Al-Mu'tadid">al-Mu'tadid</a>, and never regained power. The <a href="/wiki/Tulunids" title="Tulunids">Tulunids</a> became the first independent state in Islamic Egypt, when they broke away during this time. </p><p>Al-Mu'tadid ably administered the Caliphate. Egypt returned to allegiance and Mesopotamia was restored to order. He was tolerant towards Shi'i, but toward the Umayyad community he was not so just. Al-Mu'tadid was cruel in his punishments, some of which are not surpassed by those of his predecessors. For example, the Kharijite leader at Mosul was paraded about Baghdad clothed in a robe of silk, of which Kharijites denounced as sinful, and then crucified. Upon Al-Mu'tadid's death, his son by a Turkish slave-girl, <a href="/wiki/Al-Muktafi" title="Al-Muktafi">Al-Muktafi</a>, succeeded to the throne. </p><p>Al-Muktafi became a favourite of the people for his generosity, and for abolishing his father's secret prisons, the terror of Baghdad. During his reign, the Caliphate overcame threats such as the <a href="/wiki/Carmathians" class="mw-redirect" title="Carmathians">Carmathians</a>. Upon Al-Muktafi's death, the vazir next chose <a href="/wiki/Al-Muqtadir" title="Al-Muqtadir">Al-Muqtadir</a>. Al-Muqtadir's reign was a constant succession of thirteen Vazirs, one rising on the fall or assassination of another. His long reign brought the Empire to its lowest ebb. Africa was lost, and Egypt nearly. Mosul threw off its dependence, and the Greeks raided across the undefended border. The East continued to formally recognize the Caliphate, including those who virtually claimed independence. </p><p>At the end of the Early Baghdad Abbasids period, Empress <a href="/wiki/Zoe_Karbonopsina" title="Zoe Karbonopsina">Zoe Karbonopsina</a> pressed for an armistice with Al-Muqtadir and arranged for the ransom of the Muslim prisoner<sup id="cite_ref-161" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-161"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>159<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> while the Byzantine frontier was threatened by Bulgarians. This only added to Baghdad's disorder. Though despised by the people, Al-Muqtadir was again placed in power after upheavals. Al-Muqtadir was eventually slain outside the city gates, whereupon courtiers chose his brother <a href="/wiki/Al-Qahir" title="Al-Qahir">al-Qahir</a>. He was even worse. Refusing to abdicate, he was blinded and cast into prison. </p><p>His son <a href="/wiki/Al-Radi" title="Al-Radi">al-Radi</a> took over only to experience a cascade of misfortune.

Ibn Raik held the reins of government and his name was joined with the Caliph's in public prayers. Around this period, the <a href="/wiki/Hanbali" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanbali">Hanbalis</a>, supported by popular sentiment, set up in fact a kind of 'Sunni inquisition'. Ar-Radi is commonly regarded as the last of the real Caliphs: the last to deliver orations at the Friday service, to hold assemblies, to commune with philosophers, to discuss the questions of the day, to take counsel on the affairs of State; to distribute <a href="/wiki/Alms_and_Almsgiving" class="mw-redirect" title="Alms and Almsgiving">alms</a>, or to temper the severity of cruel officers. Thus ended the Early Baghdad Abbasids. </p><p>In the late mid-930s, the <a href="/wiki/Ikhshidid_dynasty" title="Ikhshidid dynasty">Ikhshidids</a> of Egypt carried the Arabic title "Wali" reflecting their position as governors on behalf of the Abbasids, The first governor (<a href="/wiki/Muhammad_bin_Tughj_Al-Ikhshid" class="mw-redirect" title="Muhammad bin Tughj Al-Ikhshid">Muhammad bin Tughj Al-Ikhshid</a>) was installed by the Abbasid Caliph.

The Ayyubids ruled much of the Middle East during the 12th and 13th centuries, controlling Egypt, Syria, northern Mesopotamia, Hejaz, Yemen, and the North African coast up to the borders of modern-day Tunisia. After Saladin, his sons contested control over the sultanate, but Saladin's brother al-Adil eventually established himself in 1200. In the 1230s, Syria's Ayyubid rulers attempted to win independence from Egypt and remained divided until Egyptian Sultan as-Salih Ayyub restored Ayyubid unity by taking over most of Syria, excluding <a href="/wiki/Aleppo" title="Aleppo">Aleppo</a>, by 1247.

Rahman I continued south through Palestine, the Sinai, and then into Egypt. Rahman I was one of several surviving Umayyad family members to make a perilous trek to Ifriqiya at this time. Rahman I and Bedr reached modern day Morocco near <a href="/wiki/Ceuta" title="Ceuta">Ceuta</a>.

Following the <a href="/wiki/Berber_Revolt" title="Berber Revolt">Berber Revolt</a> (740s), the province was in a state of confusion, with the <a href="/wiki/Ummah" title="Ummah">Ummah</a> torn by tribal dissensions among the Arabs and racial tensions between the Arabs and Berbers. Bedr lined up three Syrian commanders – <a href="/w/index.php?title=Obeid_Allah_ibn_Uthman&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Obeid Allah ibn Uthman (page does not exist)">Obeid Allah ibn Uthman</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Abd_Allah_ibn_Khalid&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Abd Allah ibn Khalid (page does not exist)">Abd Allah ibn Khalid</a>, both originally of Damascus, and Yusuf ibn Bukht of Qinnasrin and contacted al-Sumayl (then in <a href="/wiki/Zaragoza" title="Zaragoza">Zaragoza</a>) to get his consent, but al-Sumayl refused, fearing Rahman I would try to make himself emir. After discussion with Yemenite commanders, Rahman I was told to go to al-Andalus. Shortly thereafter, he set off with Bedr and a small group of followers for Europe. Abd al-Rahman landed at <a href="/wiki/Almu%C3%B1%C3%A9car" title="Almuñécar">Almuñécar</a> in al-Andalus, to the east of <a href="/wiki/M%C3%A1laga" title="Málaga">Málaga</a>. </p><p>During his brief time in Málaga, he quickly amassed local support. News of the prince's arrival spread throughout the peninsula. In order to help speed his ascension to power, he took advantage of the feuds and dissensions. However, before anything could be done, trouble broke out in northern al-Andalus. Abd al-Rahman and his followers were able to <a href="/wiki/Zaragoza#Moorish_Saraqusta" title="Zaragoza">control Zaragoza</a>. Rahman I fought to rule al-Andalus in a battle at the <a href="/wiki/Guadalquivir" title="Guadalquivir">Guadalquivir river</a>, just outside Córdoba on the plains of Musarah (Battle of Musarah). Rahman I was victorious, chasing his enemies from the field with parts of their army. Rahman I marched into the capital, Córdoba, fighting off a <a href="/wiki/Counterattack" title="Counterattack">counterattack</a>, but negotiations ended the confrontation. After Rahman I consolidated power, he proclaimed himself the al-Andalus emir.

Rahman I and his army confronted the Abbasids, killing most of the Abbasid army. The main Abbasid leaders were decapitated, their heads preserved in salt, with identifying tags pinned to their ears. The heads were bundled in a gruesome package and sent to the Abbasid caliph who was on pilgrimage at Mecca. Rahman I quelled repeated rebellions in al-Andalus. He began the building of the great mosque [cordova], and formed ship-yards along the coast; he is moreover said to have been the first to transplant the palm and the pomegranate into the congenial climate of Spain: and he encouraged science and literature in his states.

[...] In the year 79/698 reformed Islamic dirhams with inscriptions and no images replaced the Sasanian types at nearly all mints. During this transitional period in the 690s specifically Muslim inscriptions appeared on the coins for the first time; previously Allāh (God) had been mentioned but not the prophet Moḥammad, and there had been no reference to any Islamic doctrines. Owing to civil unrest (e.g., the revolt of ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān b. Ašʿaṯ, q.v., against Ḥajjāj in 81/701), coins of Sasanian type continued to be issued at certain mints in Fārs, Kermān, and Sīstān, but by 84/703 these mints had either been closed down or converted to production of the new dirhams. The latest known Arab-Sasanian coin, an extraordinary issue, is dated 85/704-05, though some mints in the east, still outside Muslim control, continued producing imitation Arab-Sasanian types for perhaps another century.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=bookitem&rft.atitle=COINS+AND+COINAGE&rft.btitle=Encyclop%C3%A6dia+Iranica&rft.place=New+York&rft.pages=14-41&rft.pub=Columbia+University&rft.date=2012-12-30&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1163%2F2330-4804_EIRO_COM_7783&rft.issn=2330-4804&rft.aulast=Album&rft.aufirst=Stephen&rft.au=Bates%2C+Michael+L.&rft.au=Floor%2C+Willem&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iranicaonline.org%2Farticles%2Fcoins-and-coinage-&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AHistory+of+Islam" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-80"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-80">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFAbdul_Basit_Ahmad2001" class="citation book cs1">Abdul Basit Ahmad (2001). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=kWp8aeuqKaYC&pg=PT43"><i>Umar bin Al Khattab – The Second Caliph of Islam</i></a>.

Mountainous regions of Iran were brought under a tighter grip of the central Abbasid government, as were areas of Turkestan. There were disturbances in Iraq during the first several years of Al-Ma'mun's reign. Egypt continued to be unquiet. Sindh was rebellious, but Ghassan ibn Abbad subdued it. An ongoing problem for Al-Ma'mun was the uprising headed by Babak Khorramdin.

The Mihna had to be undergone by elites, scholars, judges and other government officials, and consisted of a series of questions relating to theology and faith. The central question was about the state of the creation of the Qur'an: if the person interrogated stated he believed the Qur'an to be created, he was free to leave and continue his profession.</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-157"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-157">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Had he been victorious over the Byzantine Emperor, Al-Ma'mun would have made a condition of peace be that the emperor hand over of a copy of the "Almagest".</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-158"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-158">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, History v. 32 "The Reunification of the Abbasid Caliphate," SUNY, Albany, 1987; v. 33 "Storm and Stress along the Northern frontiers of the Abbasid Caliphate," transl.
