Abu Ibrahim Ahmad
Abu Ibrahim Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Aghlab ( Arabic أبو إبراهيم أحمد بن محمد بن الأغلب, DMG Abū Ibrāhīm Aḥmad b. Muḥammad b. al-Aġlab ; † 863 ) was from 856 the sixth emir of the Aghlabids in Ifrīqiya .
Abu Ibrahim Ahmad took over the rule in Ifriqiya from his uncle Abū ʾl-ʿAbbās Muhammad I (841-856). Under him the empire reached its climax. Trade and industry flourished as a result of the peace in the empire. The prosperous agriculture was further promoted by the construction of irrigation systems. Under Ahmad, one of the most important structures of the Aghlabids was created with the renovation of the olive mosque in Tunis and the mosque in Kairouan was further expanded.
Ahmad's successor was his brother Ziyadat Allah II (863-864) and his son Abu l-Gharaniq Muhammad II (864-875).
