In the previous article, we tackled the rulers of Egypt; Takin Ibn Abdullah Al Harbi during his first term, then the rule of Zakka al Rumi, whose death was followed by the second term of Takin\u2019s rule over Egypt. Takin had fought with the armies of Al Mahdi, defeated him and seized his ships, so the forces fled to Upper Egypt. The war then was renewed again in 308 AH (920 AD) when Mo\u2019nis Al Khadem, the minister of Caliph Al Muqtadir, came to Egypt with his armies from Iraq. Takin went to Giza again and sent his army to fight Al Mahdi\u2019s troops at Al Ashmounin town, however, the commander of Takin\u2019s armies died in Al Bahnasa town. Thus, the influence of Al Mahdi\u2019s supporters increased in Fayoum, Ashmounin and several other areas. Takin was unable to confront them, so he received supplies from Iraq. Wars were raged in Fayoum and Alexandria, continued for a long time until Al Mahdi\u2019s soldiers returned to Cyrenaica. In the meantime, news reached Takin that the son of Egypt\u2019s judge, and some Egyptians support Al Mahdi. As a result, he arrested them, killed some and imprisoned others.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \nOusting and Designation<\/strong><\/span> \nHilal Ibn Badr (309-311 AH) (921-923 AD)<\/strong><\/span> \nThe General Bishop<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In the previous article, we tackled the rulers of Egypt; Takin Ibn Abdullah Al Harbi during his first term, then the rule of Zakka al Rumi, whose death was followed by the second term of Takin\u2019s rule over Egypt.

\nThe second Term of Takin\u2019s of Egypt continued for almost a year and a half, as he was ousted in 309 AH (921 AD) by Mo\u2019nis Al Khadem, who designated Abu Qaboos Mahmud bin Jamal as Egypt\u2019s ruler instead of Takin but Abu Qaboos did not win the favor of Egypt\u2019s soldiers, thus he stayed in Egypt\u2019s rule for three days only! Historians state that a great sedition swept through the country when Mo\u2019nis ousted Takin, the ruler of Egypt then, for no reason. Ibn alTaghri said: \u201cThe people and senior men of Egypt conversed with Mo\u2019nis about the issue of Takin\u2019s ousting, threatening him of the ousting consequences, and insisting on his return, so he acquiesced to them.\u201d Thus, Takin returned to the rule of Egypt for a third time. However, Mo\u2019nis was discontent at the return of Takin, so he won the support of the soldiers, and achieved what he had desired, getting everyone\u2019s support. Hence, he ousted Takin promptly only four days after his return to power, and then Mo\u2019nis expelled him out of Egypt to Syria together with some Arab soldiers lest a second sedition would be enraged. After these events, Mo\u2019nis informed Caliph Al Muqtadir about what happened, and received orders to designate Hilal Ibn Badr over Egypt\u2019s rule.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
\nHilal Ibn Badr took over Egypt\u2019s rule after Takin had been ousted. Hilal came to Egypt carrying a message from the caliph to Mo\u2019nis, commanding him to return with his soldiers to Baghdad. Indeed, Mo\u2019nis left, accompanied by Abu Qaboos Mahmud bin Jamal.<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nThis period had witnessed tremendous turmoil in the country. Then some of the people, together with the soldiers, agreed to fight and kill Hilal. They went from Misr Al Qadima to Moniyat Al-Asbagh (Hada\u2019ek Al Qoba currently). The ruler got prepared to fight them, gathering the rest of his soldiers, the war broke out in the country , lasted for a long time, causing Egypt\u2019s conditions to worse, killing, loot and corruption to increase, as well as the crimes of banditry. Yet, Hilal was unable to prevent such incidents or to fix them, Ibn Al Taghri said: \u201cIbn Bilal was weaker than fixing Egypt\u2019s conditions, as whenever he controlled something that broke out, another issue would happen suddenly\u201d. Caliph Al Muqtadir ousted him after ruling for two years and a few days, which were described by historians as the most evil days, full of wars and sedition! Succeeding him in Egypt\u2019s rule was Ahmed Ibn Kayghalagh… and … Stories about beautiful Egypt do not end!<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
