ABBASI CALIPHS OF CAIRO
ABBASI CALIPHS OF CAIRO
By: Dr. Mustafa Kalhoro Taagrraai
It is in continuation of the Abbasi dynasty; and is the collection of data of the rulers in various spheres of influence of the Abbasi dynasty, Insha Allah! I’ll provide the knowledge from various sources and submit it before the honorable readers of the magazine “ABBASI NEWS”.
Abbasids are the descendents of Hazrat Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him), the uncle of Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). They turned over the Umayyad Empire. The final combat between the Umayyads and the Abbasis took place in 132H/ 750 AD and consequently the Umayyads wind up their beds for ever from the surface of the soil. The establishment of the Abbasis Empire caused political, social and cultural impacts in all over the Islamic empire.
The Abbasid ruled from 132H/ 750 AD to 656H/ 1258 AD a total of 508 years from Baghdad, and then they were displaced by a notorious invader Halako Khan.
Previously the tabulated data of thirty seven Abbasi Rulers who ruled from Baghdad for 508 years were given and now the tabulated data of Abbasi caliphs who ruled from Cairo, Egypt after dispersement from Baghdad is given in columns below:-
