Question: Where was the place of burial of Al-Mu'Tasim's father?

Knowledge 1: Al-Mu'tasim
Abū Isḥāq Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Rashīd (October 796 – 5 January 842), better known by his regnal name al-Muʿtaṣim biʾllāh ("he who seeks refuge in God"), was the eighth Abbasid caliph, ruling from 833 until his death in 842.A younger son of Caliph Harun al-Rashid, he rose to prominence through his formation of a private army composed predominantly of Turkish slave-soldiers ("ghilmān").This proved useful to his half-brother, Caliph al-Ma'mun, who employed al-Mu'tasim and his Turkish guard to counterbalance other powerful interest groups in the state, as well as employing them in campaigns against rebels and the Byzantine Empire.When al-Ma'mun died unexpectedly on campaign in August 833, al-Mu'tasim was thus well placed to succeed him, overriding the claims of al-Ma'mun's son al-Abbas.Al-Mu'tasim continued many of his brother's policies, such as the partnership with the Tahirids, who ruled Khurasan and Baghdad on behalf of the Abbasids.With the support of the powerful chief "qādī", Ahmad ibn Abi Duwad, he continued to implement the rationalist Islamic doctrine of Mu'tazilism and the persecution of its opponents through the inquisition ("miḥna").Although not personally interested in literary pursuits, al-Mu'tasim also nurtured the scientific renaissance begun under al-Ma'mun.In other ways, his reign marks a departure and a watershed moment in Islamic history, with the creation of a new regime centred on the military, and particularly his Turkish guard.In 836, a new capital was established at Samarra to symbolize this new regime and remove it from the restive populace of Baghdad.The power of the caliphal government was increased by centralizing measures that reduced the power of provincial governors in favour of a small group of senior civil and military officials in Samarra, and the fiscal apparatus of the state was more and more dedicated to the maintenance of the professional army, which was dominated by Turks.The Arab and Iranian elites that had played a major role in the early period of the Abbasid state were increasingly marginalized, and an abortive conspiracy against al-Mu'tasim in favour of al-Abbas in 838 resulted in a widespread purge of their ranks.This strengthened the position of the Turks and their principal leaders, Ashinas, Wasif, Itakh, and Bugha.Another prominent member of al-Mu'tasim's inner circle, the prince of Ushrusana, al-Afshin, fell afoul of his enemies at court and was overthrown and killed in 840/1.The rise of the Turks would eventually result in the troubles of the "Anarchy at Samarra" and lead to the collapse of Abbasid power in the mid-10th century, but the "ghulām"-based system inaugurated by al-Mu'tasim would be widely adopted throughout the Muslim world.Al-Mu'tasim's reign was marked by continuous warfare.The two major internal campaigns of the reign were against the long-running Khurramite uprising of Babak Khorramdin in Adharbayjan, which was suppressed by al-Afshin in 835–837, and against Mazyar, the autonomous ruler of Tabaristan, who had clashed with the Tahirids and risen up in revolt.While his generals led the fight against internal rebellions, al-Mu'tasim himself led the sole major external campaign of the period, in 838 against the Byzantine Empire.His armies defeated Emperor Theophilos and sacked the city of Amorium.The Amorium campaign was widely celebrated, and became a cornerstone of caliphal propaganda, cementing al-Mu'tasim's reputation as a warrior-caliph.

Harun al-Rashid ("Hārūn Ar-RašīdAaron the Orthodox" or "Aaron the Rightly-Guided", 17 March 763 or February 766 – 24 March 809 (148–193 Hijri)) was the fifth Abbasid Caliph.His birth date is debated, with various sources giving dates from 763 to 766.His epithet "al-Rashid" translates to "the Orthodoxthe Justthe Upright", or "the Rightly-Guided".Al-Rashid ruled from 786 to 809, during the peak of the Islamic Golden Age.He established the legendary library Bayt al-Hikma ("House of Wisdom") in Baghdad in present-day Iraq, and during his rule Baghdad began to flourish as a center of knowledge, culture and trade.During his rule, the family of Barmakids, which played a deciding role in establishing the Abbasid Caliphate, declined gradually.In 796, he moved his court and government to Raqqa in present-day Syria.A Frankish mission came to offer Harun friendship in 799.Harun sent various presents with the emissaries on their return to Charlemagne's court, including a clock that Charlemagne and his retinue deemed to be a conjuration because of the sounds it emanated and the tricks it displayed every time an hour ticked.Portions of the fictional "One Thousand and One Nights" are set in Harun's court and some of its stories involve Harun himself.Harun's life and court have been the subject of many other tales, both factual and fictitious.Some of the Twelver sect of Shia Muslims blame Harun for his supposed role in the murder of their 7th Imam(Musa ibn Ja'far).

[SEP] Knowledge 2: Al-Mu'tadid
Abu'l- Abbas Ahmad ibn Talha al- Muwaffaq( 853/4 or 860/1 – 5 April 902), better known by his regnal name al- Mu'tadid bi-llah(" Seeking Support in God"), was the Caliph of the Abbasid Caliphate from 892 until his death in 902.Al- Mu'tadid was the son of al- Muwaffaq, who was the regent and effective ruler of the Abbasid state during the reign of his brother, Caliph al- Mu'tamid.As a prince, the future al- Mu'tadid served under his father during various military campaigns, most notably in the suppression of the Zanj Rebellion, in which he played a major role.When al- Muwaffaq died in June 891 al- Mu'tadid succeeded him as regent.He quickly sidelined his cousin and heir- apparent al- Mufawwid; when al- Mu'tamid died in October 892, he succeeded to the throne.Like his father, al- Mu'tadid's power depended on his close relations with the army.These were first forged during the campaigns against the Zanj and were reinforced in later expeditions which the Caliph led in person: al- Mu'tadid would prove to be the most militarily active of all Abbasid caliphs.Through his energy and ability, he succeeded in restoring to the Abbasid state some of the power and provinces it had lost during the turmoil of the previous decades.In a series of campaigns he recovered the provinces of Jazira, Thughur, and Jibal, and effected a rapprochement with the Saffarids in the east and the Tulunids in the west that secured their—albeit largely nominal—recognition of caliphal suzerainty.These successes came at the cost of gearing the economy almost exclusively towards the maintenance of the army, which resulted in the expansion and rise to power of the central fiscal bureaucracy and contributed to the Caliph's lasting reputation for avarice.Al- Mu'tadid was renowned for his cruelty when punishing criminals, and subsequent chroniclers recorded his extensive and ingenious use of torture.His reign saw the permanent move of the capital back to Baghdad, where he engaged in major building activities.A firm supporter of Sunni traditionalist orthodoxy, he nevertheless maintained good relations with the Alids, and was interested in natural sciences, renewing caliphal sponsorship of scholars and scientists.Despite his successes, al- Mu'tadid's reign was ultimately too short to effect a lasting reversal of the Caliphate's fortunes, and the revival that he spearheaded was too dependent on the presence of capable personalities at the helm of the state.The brief reign of his less able son and heir, al- Muktafi, still saw some major gains, notably the annexation of the Tulunid domains, but his later successors lacked his energy, and new enemies appeared in the form of the Qarmatians.In addition, factionalism within the bureaucracy, that had become apparent during the later years of al- Mu'tadid's reign, would debilitate the Abbasid government for decades to come, eventually leading to the subjugation of the Caliphate by a series of military strongmen, culminating in the conquest of Baghdad by the Buyids in 946.
