| | Abbasid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Muhammad ibn 'Ali, a great-grandson of Abbas, began to campaign for the return of power to the family of the prophet Muhammad, the Hashimites, in Persia during the reign of Umar II, Muhammad ibn Ali. | | | The Abbasid caliphs officially based their claim to the Caliphate on their descent from Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (AD 566-652), one of the youngest uncles of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, by virtue of which descent they regarded themselves as the rightful heirs of Muhammad as opposed to the Umayyads. | | | Abbasid (Arabic: العبّاسيّون Abbāsīyūn) was the dynastic name generally given to the caliphs of Baghdad, the second of the two great Sunni dynasties of the Islamic empire, that overthrew the Umayyad caliphs. |
