He is mentioned as having served as chief of security (''shurtah'') for his father during the latter's governorship of Egypt in 794–795, and was later himself appointed over that province by the caliph al-Amin in 810.

Abbasid Caliphate
The Abbasid Caliphate ( or ; ar, الْخِلَافَةُ الْعَبَّاسِيَّة, ') was the third caliphate to succeed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It was founded by a dynasty descended from Muhammad's uncle, Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib (566–653 CE), from whom the dynasty takes its name. They ruled as caliphs for most of the caliphate from their capital in Baghdad in modern-day Iraq, after having overthrown the Umayyad Caliphate in the Abbasid Revolution of 750 CE (132 AH). The Abbasid Caliphate first centered its government in Kufa, modern-day Iraq, but in 762 the caliph Al-Mansur founded the city of Baghdad, near the ancient Babylonian capital city of Babylon. Baghdad became the center of science, culture and invention in what became known as the Golden Age of Islam. This, in addition to housing several key academic institutions, including the House of Wisdom, as well as a multiethnic and multi-religious environment, garnered it a worldwide reputa ...

Jabir Ibn Al-Ash'ath Al-Ta'i
Jabir ibn al-Ash'ath ibn Yahya al-Ta'i () was a governor of Egypt, from 811 to 812. He was appointed in March 811 by the caliph al-Amin, replacing Hatim ibn Harthamah ibn A'yan. Soon afterwards however he was forced to contend with the outbreak of civil war between al-Amin and his brother al-Ma'mun, and before long his continued loyalty to the former had put him at odds with a faction of the local ''jund'' led by al-Sari ibn al-Hakam, which favored recognizing al-Ma'mun as caliph instead. In the spring of 812 the ''jund'', with the encouragement of al-Ma'mun, openly switched their allegiance and revolted, and Jabir was overthrown from his position. A partisan of al-Ma'mun, Abbad ibn Muhammad ibn Hayyan, then assumed the governorship and took up power in Fustat Fusṭāṭ ( ar, الفُسطاط ''al-Fusṭāṭ''), also Al-Fusṭāṭ and Fosṭāṭ, was the first capital of Egypt under Muslim rule, and the historical centre of modern Cairo.

Qubbat Al-Hawa
A ''qubba'' ( ar, قُبَّة, translit=qubba(t), pl. ''qubāb''), also transliterated as ḳubba, kubbet and koubba, is a cupola or domed structure, typically a tomb or shrine in Islamic architecture. In many regions, such as North Africa, the term ''qubba'' commonly the tomb of a local ''wali'' (local Muslim saint) or marabout, and usually consists of a chamber covered by a dome or pyramidal cupola. Etymology The Arabic word qubba was originally used to mean a tent of hides, or generally the assembly of a material such as cloth into a circle. It's likely that this original meaning was extended to denote domed buildings after the latter had developed in Islamic architecture. It is now also used generally for tomb sites if they are places of pilgrimage. In Turkish and Persian the word ''kümbet'', ''kumbad'', or ''gunbād'' has a similar meaning for dome or domed tomb. Historical development A well-known example of an Islamic domed shrine is the Dome of the Rock, known in A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mokattam
The Mokattam ( arz, المقطم , also spelled Muqattam), also known as the Mukattam Mountain or Hills, is the name of a range of hills and a suburb in them, located in southeastern Cairo, Egypt. Etymology The Arabic name ''Mokattam'' means cut off or broken off and apparently refers to how the low range of hills is divided into three sections. Paul Casanova advocated the idea that it's a corruption of an older name Maqaduniya (), mentioned in Medieval Arabic sources. Landform The highest segment is a low mountain landform called Moqattam Mountain. In the past the low mountain range was an important ancient Egyptian quarry site for limestone, used in the construction of temples and pyramids. Settlement The hills are in the region of ancient Fustat, the new capital founded by 'Amr ibn al-'As after the Muslim conquest of Egypt in 642 CE.

Uthman Ibn Al-Mustanir Al-Judhami
Uthman ibn Affan ( ar, عثمان بن عفان, ʿUthmān ibn ʿAffān; – 17 June 656), also spelled by Colloquial Arabic, Turkish and Persian rendering Osman, was a second cousin, son-in-law and notable companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, as well as the third of the '' Rāshidun'', or "Rightly Guided Caliphs". Born into a prominent Meccan clan, Banu Umayya of the Quraysh tribe, he played a major role in early Islamic history, and is known for having ordered the compilation of the standard version of the Quran. When Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab died in office aged 60/61 years, Uthman, aged 68–71 years, succeeded him and was the oldest to rule as Caliph.

His reign also saw widespread protests and unrest that eventually led to armed revolt and his assassination. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
