Ibrahim ibn al-Walid ibn Abd al-Malik (Arabic:ابراهيم ابن الوليد بن عبد الملك,romanized: Ibrāhīm ibn al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Malik; died 25 January 750) was anUmayyad caliph, and a son of Caliphal-Walid I (r. 743–744). He ruled from 4 October 744 to 4 December 744. He was the penultimate Caliph of the Umayyad Caliphate.

Background

[edit]

Ibrahim was a son of theUmayyad caliphal-Walid I (r. 705–715). His mother was a slave concubine named Su'ar or Budayra.^[1]

Reign

[edit]

Yazid III named his brother Ibrahim as his successor. Yazid fell ill of a brain tumour^[2] and died on October 3 or 4, 744. Ibrahim duly succeeded him.Ibrahim ruled for two months in 744 before he abdicated, and went into hiding out of fear of his political opponents. The shortness of this time and his incomplete acceptance ledMuhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari to state that he did not succeed in becoming caliph (v. 26, p. 247). However, al-Tabari (p. 13) does record that Ibrahim as caliph did confirm the appointment ofAbdallah ibn Umar asgovernor of Iraq (v. 27, p. 13).

Abdication

[edit]

Ibrahim was named heir apparent by his brotherYazid III.Marwan II decided to oppose Yazid III, and even though he later gave allegiance to Yazid, on the early death of that caliph, Marwan continued his own ambitions. Ibrahim requested and was granted Marwan's assurance of personal safety. He travelled with Marwan to former CaliphHisham's residence atRusafah in Syria. Like most members of the Umayyad family, Ibrahim was executed by theAbbasids in 750.
