Al-Muqtadi Biamrillah

His full name is Abul-Qasim Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Muqtadi Biamrillah. After the entry of the Seljuk troops into Baghdad, the Caliph Al-Qaim Biamrillah ruled for 20 years, and after his death, power passed to his 19-year-old grandson al-Muqtadi Biamrillah. Al-Muqtadi was a virtuous and pious man. He was distinguished by high volitional qualities. In 1087, al-Muqtadi married the daughter of the Seljuk Sultan Malikshah, who died two years later. In 1092, Malikshah arrived in Baghdad, tried to depose the caliph and expel him from the city. However, Malikshah fell seriously ill and died, having not had time to fulfill his intention ^[1] .

During the reign of Caliph al-Muqtadi, the Seljuks regained control of Antioch, which Byzantium had previously recaptured from the Muslims. Nasr ibn Mahmoud captured the city of Menbaj, and Yusuf ibn Tafshin defeated the Spaniards at the battle of Zallak. The conquests in India made it possible to establish control over new territories. From 1076 sermons (hutbas) with the mention of the name of the Baghdad caliphs began to be read in Damascus, and a little later in Mecca. In 1094, the Caliph al-Muqtadi died ^[1] .
