As-Sāffaḥ, Caliph (Abbasid Caliphate) : All Data
As-Sāffaḥ was the first Abbasid Caliph who ruled from 749 to 754. He established the Abbasid Caliphate and played a crucial role in overthrowing the Umayyad dynasty. During his reign, the most significant war was the Abbasid Revolution, which took place from 747 to 750. This conflict resulted in the defeat of the Umayyads and the rise of the Abbasids to power. Another notable event during his rule was the Battle of the Zab in 750, where the Abbasids decisively defeated the Umayyads, solidifying their control over the Islamic world. These wars and revolts align with the calculated timespan of As-Sāffaḥ's reign.
