Biography
Al-Mansur or Abu Ja'far Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Mansur(/ælmænˈsʊər/; Arabic: أبو جعفر عبدالله بن محمد المنصور; 95AH – 158 AH (714 AD – 6 October 775 AD) was the second Abbasid Caliph reigning from 136 AH to 158 AH (754 AD – 775 AD) and succeeding his brother Abu al-'Abbas al-Saffah. Al-Mansur is generally regarded as the real founder of the Abbasid Caliphate, one of the largest polities in world history, for his role in stabilizing and institutionalizing the dynasty. He is also known for founding the 'round city' of Madinat al-Salam (The City of Peace) which was to become the core of imperial Baghdad. Al Mansur's prudence and opportunistic judgement is renowned; he was cautious to remove those whom he deemed a threat to his Caliphate, orchestrating the assassinations of notable individuals including Abu Muslim, Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, Abu Ayyub, and even his uncle Abdallah ibn Ali. He would not refuse the most extravagant generosities if there was personal gain involved, but he would refuse granting even the smallest favor if it entailed loss.
