al-Radi
909 CE–940 CE · Baghdad
Al-Radi (909–940) was the twentieth Abbasid caliph, ruling from 934 to 940. He is often described as the last Abbasid caliph to exercise genuine authority, as effective power soon passed to military strongmen holding the office of amir al-umara, or commander of commanders. He died in 940, after which the caliphs of Baghdad became largely dependent on outside rulers.
