Question: In what year did Muslim armies invade the country that contains Al-Qamsiyah, as well as the nation where the ruler following Al-Mu'tamid was a citizen?

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. 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. When al-Muwaffaq died in June 891 al-Mu'tadid succeeded him as regent. He quickly sidelined his cousin and heir-apparent al-Mufawwad, and 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. <SEP> between 1528 and 1540, armies of muslims, under the imam ahmad ibn ibrihim al - ghazi, entered ethiopia from the low country to the south - east, and overran the abyssinian kingdom, obliging the emperor to take refuge in the mountain fastnesses. in this remote location, the ruler again turned to the portuguese. joão bermudes, a subordinate member of the mission of 1520, who had remained in the country after the departure of the embassy, was, according to his own statement (which is untrustworthy), ordained successor to the abuna (archbishop), and sent to lisbon. bermudes certainly came to europe, but with what credentials is not known. <SEP> sa'ad rashed mohammad al-faqih (; born february 2, 1957 in az zubayr, iraq), also known as sa'ad al-fagih, is a muslim saudi national and former surgeon who heads the movement for islamic reform in arabia (mira). he lives in london. he was a key player in preparing the “letter of demands” of 1991 and the "memorandum of advice" the following year. both documents were endorsed by a considerable number of prominent figures, including sheikh bin baz, al-uthaymeen and salman al-ouda, and were then presented to the king at the time fahd. in 1994, the committee for the defense of legitimate rights was established and al-faqeeh was appointed as the head of its london office, with another saudi dissident mohammad al-massari as the spokesperson. the two separated, and al-faqih went on to set up mira in 1996. <SEP> After al-Muqtafi's death, he played a decisive role in the suppression of the palace coup that briefly deposed al-Muqtadir in favour of Abdallah ibn al-Mu'tazz. He was then named treasurer ("khazin") and chief of security ("sahib al-shurta") to the Caliph. Under al-Mu'tadid he served as commander of the caliph's personal guard and led various expeditions against Bedouins and other restive elements in Iraq, while al-Muqtafi dispatched him in 906 against the Qarmatians. He died in 914. <SEP> Arab Muslim forces had appeared on the southern borders even before the death of prophet Muhammad in 632, resulting in the Battle of Mu'tah in 629, but the real invasion began in 634 under his successors, the Rashidun Caliphs Abu Bakr and Umar ibn Khattab, with Khalid ibn al - Walid as their most important military leader.
