Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik
675 CE–717 CE · Damascus
Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik (c. 675–717) was the seventh Umayyad caliph, ruling from 715 to 717. His reign is chiefly remembered for launching the second major Arab siege of Constantinople in 717–718, a large land and naval campaign that ultimately failed against the Byzantine defenses. He died in 717, before the siege collapsed, and designated his cousin Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz as his successor.
