Harun al-Rashid (763 – 809)
Brought into the world in Iran in 763 (a few sources say 766), Harun Al-Rashid became Abbasid Dynasty’s fifth Caliph and is considered as its most noteworthy pioneer. When he came to drive in 786, the Abbasids were at their most grounded, and he was one of the world’s most influential men. As of now, the tradition’s capital of Baghdad was the biggest city on earth beyond China, and Harun’s unbelievable court at Baghdad is the subject of numerous stories including The Thousand and One Nights.
Harun was the third child of Mohammed al-Mahdi, the third caliph of the tradition and was named the second successor after his more established sibling when he turned 16. His dad kicked the bucket in 785, and his sibling al-Hadi became caliph. Notwithstanding, he passed on the next year in secretive conditions and was likely the survivor of a connivance. Harun became caliph and quickly selected his counselor, Yahya, as his essential clergyman (vizier).
