Az-Zahir (Abbasid caliph)

Az- Zahir bi- amri ' llāh, Arabic الظاهر بأمر الله, محمد بن الناصر, Az- Zahir DMG bi- amri ' llāh, Muḥammad b. An-Nasir (* 1175, † July 10, 1226 in Baghdad ), was the thirty-fifth Abbasid Caliph ( 1225-1226 ).

Nasr Abu az- Zahir was indeed already determined in 1189 by his father -Nasir ( 1180-1225 ) as his successor. However, he was replaced by this function in 1205 by his brother Abu al -Hasan. It was not until the early death ( 1216 ) was able to compete in 1225 the rule az- Zahir after the death of al-Nasir.

Az- Zahir tried to mitigate the strict rule of his father, by lowering some taxes and the spying system abolished. At the same time he sought to reform in the administration as well as building a strong army to be grown including the threat of the last Khorezm Shah Jalal ad-Din. However, az- Zahir already died nine months after his accession to the throne on 10 July 1226. New Caliph al - Mustansir was his son ( 1226-1242 ).
