In the previous article, we tackled the second and third ruling periods of Takin Ibn Abdullah al Harbi, between which came the ruling period of \u201cAbu Qabous Mahmoud Ibn Jamal\u201d which lasted for three days! For a third time, Takin was ousted after four days, then we tackled Hilal Ibn Badr\u2019s rule which was an arena of great turmoil in the country, that some of the people and soldiers agreed to fight and kill him, thus a war was raged inside 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!

\nAfter the removal of Hilal Ibn Badr, Caliph al Muqtadir appointed Ahmed Ibn Kayghalagh over Egypt\u2019s rule, Ibn Kayghalagh sent his son \u201cAl Abbas\u201d to Egypt first, then he followed, accompanied by Muhammad Ibn al Hussain who was in charge of taxes. Both summoned the soldiers and gave them money, yet they killed many men at Moniyat Al- Asbagh (Hada\u2019ek Al Qoba currently) where a war was raged beforehand. Soldiers staged a revolution against both of them, urging the ruler to flee to Faqos, while Muhammad Ibn al Hussain attempted to flee to the Levant, yet he was arrested by the soldiers and taken to Al Fustat. Ibn Kayghalagh remained an escapee at Faqos until the Caliph excluded him after ruling for seven months, restoring Takin to the rule for the fourth time.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nTakin sent a successor in Egypt\u2019s rule in 311 AH (923 AD) until he arrived there in 312 AH (924 AD), as the country was in great turmoil and he managed to settle everything down. However, Al Kindy states that he \u201coverthrew many infantry soldiers whom were appointed by Hilal ibn Badr, as they were makers of riot, loot and evil, acquitting who resided in Al Fustat among them. Thus, people came to Takin, thanking him for this act.\u201d Although these soldiers agreed to fight and kill Takin, and he got prepared to fight them, yet the war was never raged. Takin was concerned about fixing Egypt and improving its conditions in order to sustain his rule. After the death of Caliph Al Muqtadir, Caliph Al Qaher took over the Caliphate, he established Takin\u2019s rule, so he ruled until his death in 321 AH (933 AD) after staying in rule for nine years, two months and few days, Ibn al Taghri said about him: \u201cHe was a rational brave knowledgeable well managing prince; he was assigned over the great works\u2026 He maintained a good policy, wisdom and knowledge of wars.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
\nHe was appointed over the Caliphate after the murder of his brother \u201cAl Mu\u2019tadid\u201d. Mo\u2019nis Al Khadem, the minister of Caliph Al Muqtadir, preferred the son of Al Muqtadir to rule, yet the senior statesmen and officials agreed to choose a capable person to manage the country affairs on his own; so they agreed by consensus on choosing Al Qaher. So, people pledged allegiance to him and he became the Caliph amid settled atmosphere. However, the ruling affairs got worsened in his age, as he was concerned with chasing Al Muqtadir\u2019s men, historians state: \u201cAl Qaher chased the men of Al Muqtadir fiercely, confiscated their properties, dealt the mother, the wives and household of Al Muqtadir in a cruel manner, and looted their money and possessions\u2026\u201d Al Khudri mentions: \u201cThroughout history, nothing is compared to Al Qaher\u2019s acts in being depraved, abject, mean and inferior\u201d\u2026 And stories about Beautiful Egypt never end!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
