at-Tā'iʿ
ʿAbd al-Karīm ibn al-Fadl ( Arabic عبد الكريم بن الفضل, DMG ʿAbd al-Karīm b. al-Faḍl ; † 991 ) with the throne name at-Tā'iʿ li-amr Allāh (الطائع لأمر الله / Aṭ-Ṭā'i' li-amr Allah / who was the commandment of God obedient ') of the twenty-fourth Caliph of the Abbasid (974-991).
Even under at-Tā'iʿ, the successor of his father al- Mutīʿ (946–974), the rule of the Persian Buyids over the Abbasid caliphs was undisputed. Under Adud ad-Daula (949–983) the overthrow of the Sunni Abbasids and the establishment of a caliphate by the Shiite Buyids were also sought. In any case, marriage connections between the family of the caliph at-Tā'iʿ and Adud ad-Daula point to it.
The fall of the Abbasids was ultimately prevented by the rise of the Ismaili Fatimid caliphate in the Maghreb and Egypt as well as the expansion of Byzantium in Syria . With the help of the Abbasid caliphs generally recognized by the Sunnis, the Buyids could count on the support of the Muslims against these powers. After the death of at-Tā'iʿ, al-Qādir (991-1031) was enthroned by the Buyids as the new caliph in Baghdad .
