Ibrahim II of Ifriqiya

Abu Ishaaq Ibraaheem ibn Muhammad Ahmad II ibn al - ibn Ibrāhīm ibn al - Aghlab Aghlab Arabic أحمد بن محمد بن الأغلب بن إبراهيم بن الأغلب, أبو إسحاق, DMG Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. al - Aġlab b. Ibrāhīm b. al - Aġlab, Abu Ishaq (* June 27 850, † 23 October 902) was the ninth Emir of Aghlabids in Ifriqiya and ruled from 875 to 902

Abu Ishaaq Ibraaheem II took over the reign of his brother Abu l - Gharaniq Muhammad II ( 864-875 ). Even if the Aghlabidenreich suffered significant population losses caused by the plague ( 874-875 ), it was initially still wealthy. So let Ibrāhīm II, for example, 876 build in Kairouan with ar - Raqqada a new residence and tried to agriculture through the development of irrigation systems to further promote. He also eliminated the tax farming and fed the duties of the administration.

Nevertheless began under Ibrāhīm II the decline of the dynasty. While in Sicily succeeded 878 the conquest of Syracuse, but sales Byzantium after a naval victory over the Aghlabids Muslims from Bari and Taranto in Apulia. Also had 882 repulsed an attack by the Tulunids from Egypt and several uprisings of the Berbers against the tyrannical rule of Ibrāhm II are suppressed. Since 893 the mission of the Ismailis began with Abu Abd Allah al- ʿ i ski at the Kutamaberbern in Algeria. This would later overthrow the Aghlabids and pave the way to the Fatimids of Ifriqiya.

As the unrest in the population continued to rise against the tyrannical rule of Ibrahim II, he was 902 forced by his son Abu l - Abbas Abdullah II ( 902-903 ) to abdicate. Ibrāhīm II retired to Sicily to take up the fight against Byzantium. In an attack on Calabria he died on 23 October 902 before Cosenza in the Ruhr.
