(arabic: أبو الفضل جعفر بن أحمد المعتضد) (895 – 31 October 932 CE), better known by his regnal name al-Muqtadir bi-llāh (Arabic: المقتدر بالله, “Mighty in God”)
.
*”Abu’l-Faḍl Jaʿfar ibn Ahmad al-Muʿtaḍid” was the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad from 908 to 932 CE (295–320 AH), with the exception of a brief deposition in favour of ‘al-Qahir’ in ‘928’*
.
(he came to the throne at the age of 13, the youngest caliph in abbasid history, as a result of ‘palace intrigues’)
(his accession was soon challenged by the supporters of the older and more experienced Abdallah ibn al-Mu’tazz, but their attempted coup in ‘december 908’ was quickly and decisively crushed)
(‘Al-Muqtadir’ enjoyed a longer rule than any of his predecessors, but was uninterested in government)
(affairs were run by his officials, although the frequent change of viziers (14 changes of the ‘head of government’ are recorded for his reign) hampered the effectiveness of the administration)
(the ‘harem’, where his mother ‘shaghab’ exercised total control, also exercised a frequently decisive influence on affairs, and especially on the advancement or dismissal of officials)
(after a period of consolidation and recovery under his father al-Mu’tadid and older half-brother al-Muktafi, al-Muqtadir’s reign marks the onset of rapid decline)
(the full treasury inherited by al-Muqtadir was quickly emptied, and financial difficulties would become a persistent feature of the ‘caliphal government’)
(‘Ifriqiya’ fell to the Fatimids, although the commander-in-chief Mu’nis al-Muzaffar was able to repel their attempts to conquer Egypt as well)
(nearer to ‘iraq’, the Hamdanids became autonomous masters of the Jazira and the Qarmatians re-emerged as a major threat, culminating in their capture of ‘mecca’ in ‘929’)
(the forces of the ‘byzantine empire’ (under ‘john kourkouas’) began a sustained offensive into the borderlands of the ‘thughurand armenia’)
(as a result, in ‘february 929’ a palace revolt briefly replaced ‘al-Muqtadir’ with his brother ‘al-Qahir’)
(the new regime failed to consolidate itself, however, and after a few days ‘al-Muqtadir’ was restored)
(the commander-in-chief (‘Mu’nis al-Muzaffar’) was by then a virtual ‘dictator’)
(urged by his enemies, ‘al-Muqtadir’ attempted to get rid of him in ‘932’, but ‘Mu’nis’ marched with his troops on ‘baghdad’, and in the ensuing battle on ’31 October 932′ al-Muqtadir was killed)
