Abu Musa Muhammad ibn Harun al-Rashid (787 – 813), better known by his regnal name Al-Amin, was the sixth caliph of the Abbasid Empire from 809 to 813.
A son of the previous caliph Harun al-Rashid, Al-Amin was born to him and his wife Zubaydah bint Ja'far. Following his death, Al-Amin succeeded him as caliph, which brought him into conflict with his elder half-brother Abdallah.
