Abū Isḥāq Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Rashīd (796 – 842), better known by his regnal name al-Mu'tasim bi'llah, was the eighth Caliph of the Abbasid Empire, ruling from 833 until his death in 842.
The successor of al-Ma'mun, al-Mu'tasim continued his strategy of a military composed largely of enslaved boys and men from Turkic-speaking tribes of Central Asia.[1] In 836, as an attempt to insulate his army from the politics of Baghdad, al-Mu'tasim moved his court, administration and army to the newly built city of Samarra, located 130 kilometers north of Baghdad.[2]
