His stabilization of the internal political scene after the decade-long \"Anarchy at Samarra\", his successful defence of Iraq against the Saffarids and the suppression of the Zanj Rebellion restored a measure of the Caliphate's former power and began a period of recovery, which culminated in the reign of al-Muwaffaq's own son, the Caliph al-Mu'tadid.","summary_more":[],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"1 July 842","date":"0842-07-01"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Samarra","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q170047"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"2 June 891","date":"0891-06-02"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Baghdad","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1530"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Abbasid Caliphate","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q12536"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"regent","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q477406"},{"text":"Amir","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q166382"},{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"},{"text":"manager","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2462658"},{"text":"governor","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q132050"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410#P106"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"regent (0870–0891)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q477406","start":"0870-06","end":"0891-06-02"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410#P39"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Muwaffaq","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Al-Muwaffaq born?","a":"Al-Muwaffaq was born on 1 July 842 in Samarra."},{"q":"What positions has Al-Muwaffaq held?","a":"Positions held by Al-Muwaffaq include: regent (0870–0891)."}],"related":[{"name":"Gyanendra of Nepal","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/gyanendra-of-nepal"},{"name":"Ferdinand II of Aragon","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ferdinand-ii-of-aragon"},{"name":"Berengaria of Castile","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/berengaria-of-castile"},{"name":"John II of Aragon","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/john-ii-of-aragon"},{"name":"Pope Adrian VI","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pope-adrian-vi"},{"name":"Ferdinand I of Aragon","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ferdinand-i-of-aragon"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/al-muwaffaq-5024375385.jpg","width":249,"height":242,"license":"Public domain","credit":"CNG Coins","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dinar_of_Al-Muwaffaq_271.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Al-Muwaffaq","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Muwaffaq","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q291410","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q291410","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Dinar of Al-Muwaffaq 271.jpg by CNG Coins (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dinar_of_Al-Muwaffaq_271.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Al-Muwaffaq, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
