Abbasid Caliphate
The Abbasid Caliphate ( or Arabic: ٱلْخِلَافَة ٱلْعَبَّاسِيَّة, al-Khilāfah al-ʿAbbāsīyah) was the third of the Islamic caliphates to succeed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It was founded by a dynasty descended from Muhammad's uncle, Abbas ibn Abdul-Muttalib (566–653 CE), from whom the dynasty takes its name. They ruled as caliphs for most of the caliphate from their capital in Baghdad in modern-day Iraq, after having overthrown the Umayyad Caliphate in the Abbasid Revolution of 750 CE (132 AH).
