Al-Aziz Uthman
Al-Malik al-Aziz Uthman ibn Salah ad-Din Yusuf (1171 – 29 November 1198) was the second Ayyubid Sultan of Egypt of the Kurdish descent.
He was the second son of Saladin.
Before his death, Saladin had divided his dominions amongst his kin: Al-Afdal received Palestine and Syria,
Al-Aziz was made ruler of Egypt, Al-Zahir received Aleppo,
Al-Adil received Karak and Shawbak, and Turan-Shah retained Yemen.
However, conflict soon broke out between them with Al-Adil becoming the undisputed ruler of Syria, Upper Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Yemen.
Al-Aziz Uthman succeeded his father and ruled the empire as a whole between 1193 and 1198.
Despite Al-Aziz having specifically inherited suzerainty over the whole Ayyubid empire, soon he had to face revolts by the Zengid emirs of Mosul, by Sanjar and by the Artuqids in southern Iraq.
When Al-Afdal expelled all the ministers left by his father to support him, they came to Egypt, asking al-Aziz to reconquer Syria.
In al-Aziz besieged Damascus.
So Al-Afdal asked for help from Saladin's brother, Al-Adil, who met al-Aziz and managed to bring about a reconciliation.
The following year al-Aziz again attacked Syria, but Al-Afdal was able to persuade some of the emirs of al-Aziz's army to desert.
Later al-Adil allied with al-Aziz against al-Afdal, who was besieged and captured in Damascus on 3 July 1196.
Al-Afdal was exiled to Salkhad, while al-Aziz was proclaimed supreme overlord of the Ayyubid empire.
However, most of the effective power was in the hands of Al-Adil, who installed himself in Damascus.
During his reign, Al-Aziz tried to demolish the Great Pyramids of Giza, Egypt, but had to give up because the task was too big.
However, he did succeed in damaging Menkaure's Pyramid.
Al-Aziz also played an important role in the history of the building enterprises and construction at Banias and Subaybah.
He died in a hunting accident in late 1198.
He was interred in the tomb of his elder brother al-Mu'azzam.
Abd al-Aziz ibn Idris ibn Hasan
‘ Abd al -‘ Azīz ibn Idrīs ibn Ḥasan ibn Abī Numayy was co-ruler of the Sharifate of Mecca with his cousin Nami ibn Abd al- Muttalib for three months in 1632.
After Nami captured Mecca on Wednesday, 25 Sha'ban 1041 AH( 17 March 1632) he appointed Abd al- Aziz as his partner.
Abd al- Aziz was entitled to one quarter of the Emirate, and his name was not included in the" du‘a".
Abd al- Aziz fled Mecca with Nami on Tuesday, 4 Dhu al- Hijjah( 22 June 1632).
On their way to the fortress of Turbah he separated from the group and went to Yanbu.
He died of plague in Egypt in 1063 AH( 1652/1653).
Abd Al-Aziz Fawzan Al-Fawzan
Abd Al- Aziz Fawzan Al- Fawzan( Arabic: فوزان، عبد العزيز بن فوزان بن صالح) is an Islamic scholar and author in Saudi Arabia.
He is also known as" Abd al- Aziz b. Fawzan al- Fawzan Abd Al- Aziz Al- Fawzan".
Manjutakin
Manjutakin was a military slave(" ghulam") of the Fatimid Caliph al- Aziz( r. 975–996).
Of Turkic origin, he became one of the leading Fatimid generals under al- Aziz, fighting against the Hamdanids and the Byzantines in Syria.
He rebelled against the Berber- dominated regime of the early years of al- Hakim( r. 996–1021), but was defeated and died in captivity.
Abd al-Aziz ibn Mansur
Abd al- Aziz ibn Mansur was the ruler of the Hammadids from 1104 to 1121.
Abd al-Aziz ibn Nuh
Abd al- Aziz ibn Nuh( died 10th- century) was amir of the Samanids briefly in 992.
He was the son of Nuh I. In 992, the Karakhanids under Bughra Khan invaded the domains of amir Nuh II, and briefly wrested Bukhara from Samanid control.
However, during his stay in Bukhara, Bughra Khan fell sick, and in order to ensure that the city remained under Karakhanid control, he installed Nuh's uncle Abd al- Aziz as the Samanid ruler, effectively as a Karakhanid puppet.
Bughra Khan then left Bukhara for Samarkand, but died before he reached the city.
Nuh quickly used the opportunity to reconquer Bukhara, and had Abd al- Aziz blinded and imprisoned.
After the event, Abd al- Aziz disappeared from sources, and probably died some years later.
Saladin
An-Nasir Salah ad-Din Yusuf ibn Ayyub (/ ALA-LC: "Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb"; / ALA-LC: "Selahedînê Eyûbî"), known as Salah ad-Din or Saladin (11374 March 1193), was the first sultan of Egypt and Syria and the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty.
A Sunni Muslim of Kurdish ethnicity, Saladin led the Muslim military campaign against the Crusader states in the Levant.
At the height of his power, his sultanate included Egypt, Syria, Upper Mesopotamia, the Hejaz, Yemen and other parts of North Africa.
He was originally sent to Fatimid Egypt in 1164 alongside his uncle Shirkuh, a general of the Zengid army, on the orders of their lord Nur ad-Din to help restore Shawar as vizier of the teenage Fatimid caliph .
A power struggle ensued between Shirkuh and Shawar after the latter was reinstated.
Saladin, meanwhile, climbed the ranks of the Fatimid government by virtue of his military successes against Crusader assaults against its territory and his personal closeness to al-Adid.
After Shawar was assassinated and Shirkuh died in 1169, al-Adid appointed Saladin vizier, a rare nomination of a Sunni Muslim to such an important position in the Isma'ili Shia caliphate.
During his tenure as vizier, Saladin began to undermine the Fatimid establishment and, following al-Adid's death in 1171, he abolished the and realigned the country's allegiance with the Sunni, Baghdad-based Abbasid Caliphate.
In the following years, he led forays against the Crusaders in Palestine, commissioned the successful conquest of Yemen, and staved off pro-Fatimid rebellions in Upper Egypt.
Not long after Nur ad-Din's death in 1174, Saladin launched his conquest of Syria, peacefully entering Damascus at the request of its governor.
By mid-1175, Saladin had conquered Hama and Homs, inviting the animosity of other Zengid lords, the official rulers of Syria's various regions.
Soon after, he defeated the Zengid army at the Battle of the Horns of Hama and was thereafter proclaimed the "Sultan of Egypt and Syria" by the Abbasid caliph al-Mustadi.
Saladin made further conquests in northern Syria and Jazira, escaping two attempts on his life by the "Assassins", before returning to Egypt in 1177 to address issues there.
By 1182, Saladin had completed the conquest of Muslim Syria after capturing Aleppo, but ultimately failed to take over the Zengid stronghold of Mosul.
Under Saladin's command, the Ayyubid army defeated the Crusaders at the decisive Battle of Hattin in 1187, and thereafter wrested control of Palestine—including the city of Jerusalem—from the Crusaders, who had conquered the area 88 years earlier.
Although the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem continued to exist until the late 13th century, its defeat at Hattin marked a turning point in its conflict with the Muslim powers of the region.
Saladin died in Damascus in 1193, having given away much of his personal wealth to his subjects.
He is buried in a mausoleum adjacent to the Umayyad Mosque.
Saladin has become a prominent figure in Muslim, Arab, Turkish and Kurdish culture, and he has often been described as being the most famous Kurd in history.
Al-Malik al-Aziz
Abu Mansur Khusrau Firuz, better known by his" laqab" of Al- Malik al- Aziz( Arabic: الملك العزيز," the strong king"), was a Buyid prince who served as the governor of Wasit.
He was the son of Jalal al- Dawla.
During his father's lifetime, Al- Malik al- Aziz served as the governor of Wasit, and was considered his heir.
However, when his father died in 1044, Abu Kalijar, the Buyid ruler of Fars and Kerman, invaded Iraq, and captured Baghdad.
Al- Maik al- Aziz managed to flee from Baghdad, and take refuge with the Mazyadids, and then with the Uqaylids.
He also made some fruitless attempts to capture Iraq and regain his throne.
He later died in 1049 at Mayyafariqin.
Umar II
Umar ibn Abd al- Aziz( 2 November 682 –), commonly known as Umar II, was the eighth Umayyad caliph, ruling from 22 September 717 until his death in 720.
He was also a cousin of the former caliph, being the son of Abd al- Malik's younger brother, Abd al- Aziz.
He was also a matrilineal great- grandson of the second caliph, Umar ibn Al- Khattab.
Abd al-Aziz ibn al-Walid
Abd al- Aziz ibn al- Walid( died 728/ 9) was a member of the Umayyad dynasty and a military leader in the wars against the Byzantine Empire during the reign of his father, Caliph al- Walid I( reigned 705 –715).
The latter also appointed Abd al- Aziz governor of Jund Dimashq( District of Damascus).
Abd al- Aziz's mother was Umm al- Banin, a daughter of al- Walid's paternal uncle, Abd al- Aziz ibn Marwan.
He was regarded by his father as" the" sayyid", the most forceful personality, amongst his sons".
Abd al- Aziz led his first campaign against the Byzantines in Asia Minor in 709, when he captured a fortress, although his uncle Maslama ibn Abd al- Malik led the main raid of the year afterwards.
In 710 he led the main Umayyad attack, although under the auspices of Maslama as commander- in- chief for the Byzantine front, and in 713 he led an attack against the frontier fortress of Gazelon.
In 714/15, his father attempted to reverse the succession arrangement, by which the throne would pass to his brother Sulayman, in favour of Abd al- Aziz.
In addition to various officials and poets in al- Walid's court, Abd al- Aziz gained the support of the powerful viceroy of the eastern half of the Caliphate, al- Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, who died in 714, the governor of Khurasan, Qutayba ibn Muslim, and a prominent Alid of Medina, Zayd, the son of Hasan ibn Ali.
Nonetheless, he was unable to impose his will.
When Sulayman in turn died in northern Syria in 717, Abd al- Aziz intended to claim the throne in Damascus, but upon learning that his maternal uncle Umar II had been chosen as caliph, he presented himself before him and acknowledged his rule.
According to the account of al- Waqidi, during their encounter, Umar informed Abd al- Aziz that he would not have disputed his accession, to which Abd al- Aziz replied:" I would not like anyone else but you to have taken over the office".
Abd al- Aziz died in Anno Hegirae 110( 728/729 CE).
