`Abd ar-Rahman ibn Muhammad
` Abd ar- Rahman ibn Muhammad( died 16 June 1825) was the Emir of Harar( 1821- 1825).
On the death of his brother, Emir Ahmad II ibn Muhammad,` Abd ar- Rahman and his other brother` Abd al- Karim quarreled over who would succeed, and` Abd ar- Rahman gained the throne first with the help of the Babille Oromo who dwelled to the east of Harar.
However, while returning from an unsuccessful campaign to extract tribute from the Ala Oromo in 1825, he was betrayed to these people and` Abd al- Karim made himself Emir.
Abd al- Rahman appealed for help from his Babille allies, who helped him resist his deposition.
In the end,` Abd ar- Rahman was deposed and forty villages are listed as having been destroyed by the Oromo to the north, west and south of harar, as well as in Babille country during this civil war.
According to Richard F. Burton,` Abd al- Karim had recruited 60 or 70 Arab matchlockmen, under one Haydar Assal the Auliki, to fight against the Oromo.
The mercenaries ran out of ammunition, and losing twenty of their number retired to Harar.
The Oromo captured Abd al- Karim and Abd Ar- Rahman, seized the throne and with the aid of the inhabitants started to murder the Arab mercenaries.
The mercenaries, however, defended themselves and would have restored Abd al- Rahman as Emir, had Abd ar- Rahman not declined their offer; the Arab mercenaries then drew their pay and marched off to Zeila.
R.A. Caulk explains that this was a garbled version of the fraternal battle for the throne.
One source states that he had one daughter, Guisti Fatima, who married his eventual successor Abu Bakr II ibn` Abd al- Munan.
`Abd al-Karim ibn Muhammad
` Abd al- Karim ibn Abu Bakr was the Emir of Harar, Ethiopia( 1825- 1834).
According to the British explorer Richard F. Burton, he was the brother of` Abd ar- Rahman ibn Muhammad.
On the death of his brother, Emir Ahmad II ibn Muhammad,` Abd al- Karim and his other brother` Abd ar- Rahman quarreled over who would succeed, and` Abd ar- Rahman gained the throne first with the help of the Babille Oromo who dwelled to the east of Harar.
However, while returning from an unsuccessful campaign to extract tribute from the Ala Oromo in 1825, he was betrayed to these people and` Abd al- Karim made himself Emir.
Abd al- Rahman appealed for help from his Babille allies, who helped him resist his deposition.
In the end,` Abd ar- Rahman was deposed and forty villages are listed as having been destroyed by the Oromo to the north, west and south of harar, as well as in Babille country during this civil war.
According to Richard F. Burton,` Abd al- Karim had recruited 60 or 70 Arab matchlockmen, under one Haydar Assal the Auliki, to wage war against the neighboring Oromo who were threatening Harar.
However, the battle went against the Harari and the Arab mercenaries, the latter suffering twenty casualties before retreating within the walls of the city.
The Oromo managed to enter Harar, captured both` Abd al- Karim and` Abd ar- Rahman, and aided by the inhabitants of the city attempted to slaughter the remaining Arab mercenaries.
" These, however," writes Burton," defended themselves gallantly, and would have crowned the son of Abd al- Rahman, had he not in fear declined the dignity; they then drew their pay, and marched with all the honours of war to Zeila."
R.A. Caulk explains that this was a garbled version of the fraternal battle for the throne.
According to Harari tradition, the reign of` Abd al- Karim was a golden age.
" Abd al- Karim is popularly depicted as a wise and just ruler and a militant proselytizer of the Oromo," writes Caulk.
" He made himself so respected outside the walls, it is claimed, that the" Qottu" regularly paid their taxes and even the leaders of the independent Oromo gave ready redress for all injuries done to the townspeople."
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).

Abd al-Karīm al-Jīlī
Abd al- Karīm al- Jīlī, or Abdul Karim Jili( Arabic:عبدالكريم جيلى) was a Muslim Sufi saint and mystic who was born in 1365, in what is modern day Iraq, possibly in the neighborhood of Jil in Baghdad.
He is famous in Muslim mysticism as the author of" Universal Man".
Jili was a descendant of the sufi saint Abdul Qadir Gilani, the founder of the Qadiriyya dervish order.
Although little is known about his life, historians have noted that Jili travelled in various places around the world.
He wrote more than twenty books, of which" Universal Man" is the best known.
Jili was the foremost systematizer and one of the greatest exponents of the work of Ibn Arabi.
" Universal Man" is an explanation of Ibn Arabi ’s teachings on the structure of reality and human perfection.
Since it was written, it has been held up as one of the masterpieces of Sufi literature.
Jili conceived of the Absolute Being as a Self, a line of thinking which later influenced the 20th century Muslim philosopher and poet Allama Iqbal.
