al-Mukarram Ahmad

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

al-Mukarram Ahmad ( Arabic أحمد المكرم بن علي, DMG Aḥmad al-Mukarram b. ʿAlī ; born 1049 ; died 1086 ) was the son of the founder of the Sulaihid dynasty , Alī bin Muḥammad al-Ṣulayḥī .

The reign of this Fatimid dynasty started from Sanaa . The Sultan married the second great female ruler Arwa bint Ahmad in 1069 , with whom he fathered four children. Arwa bint Ahmad ruled from the time the business was handed over by her husband in 1086. She moved the seat of power from Sanaa to Djibla , from where a second glamorous Sulaihid era could be held.

The reign of al-Mukarram Ahmad was by defensive action to the territories in and around Sanaa against the Nadschahiden dominated and in the meantime lost Regions Haraz and Tihama . He succeeded in freeing his mother from the hands of the Najahids, who were captured in 1080 or 1081 with the murder of his father. After the liberation, his power environment again successfully turned against the Najahids.
