Deposition and succession of Caliph Al-Tai, 24th Caliph of Abbasid Caliphate.

Asslamoalaikum sisters brothers friends and elders we are describing In this informative video the deposition and succession of Caliph Al-Tai, the 24th Caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate. Learn about the historical events that led to his removal from power and the subsequent rise of his successor.

Bereft of money with which to pay his army, the Buyid emir followed the advice of the powerful head of the chancery, Abu'l-Hasan ibn al-Mu'allim, to depose al-Ta'i' in order to seize the caliphal treasury. On 22 November 991 (12 Ramadan 381 AH), under the pretext of an audience, Baha al-Dawla's men seized the caliph. While the caliphal palace was plundered, the caliph was wrapped in a robe and brought to the emir's residence, where he was placed under arrest. He was succeeded by his cousin Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad, who took the throne as al-Qadir.

Al-Ta'i' had had strained relations with his cousin: in 988, the latter's half-sister, apparently motivated by an inheritance dispute, reported him as seeking to replace al-Ta'i' as caliph. To escape capture, Ahmad went into hiding for a while, before seeking refuge with the governor of the swamps of Bathihah near Basra, Muhadhdhib al-Dawla, for about three years. From there, Ahmad plotted against al-Ta'i', harping on his own loyalty to the Buyids, and drawing contrast to the fact that al-Ta'i' had been installed by a Turk.

Al-Ta'i' remained under arrest until September 992, when he was allowed to move to the caliphal palace. Despite their previous differences, al-Qadir treated him well. Al-Ta'i' was not blinded, as had been the case for previous deposed caliphs, and he was accorded treatment due to a reigning caliph.[62] Al-Ta'i' died at the palace on 3 August 1003, and was buried in Rusafa, at a mausoleum he had erected across from the tombs of his father, al-Muti', and of his great-grandmother, the mother of al-Muqtadir, Shaghab.

Al-Ta'i's deposition had a long denouement: considering al-Qadir a puppet of the Buyids, the eastern dynasties of the Samanids and Ghaznavids refused to recognize the succession until 999/1000, continuing to use al-Ta'i's name in the Friday prayer and on coins until then. Furthermore, a relative of the deposed caliph, Abdallah ibn Ja'far, managed to escape custody in Baghdad and fled to Gilan, where he persuaded the local ruler that he was indeed al-Ta'i'. Only after Baghdad found out about this pretender was his true identity revealed.

So friends tomorow we will be described Biography of Al-Qadir Billah, 25th Caliph of Abbasid Caliphate. and now please permit us upto tomorow. Allah Hafiz
