    4th civil war

    This takes place during the Abbasid dynasty between the two brothers Amin and Ma’mun, both of which are sons of Harun al-Rashid. It was started because Amin is selfish and ends with Ma’mun coming to power. The main part to take away is that it shows the weakness of succession with Islamic rulers and gets Ma’mun’s reign off to a shaky start. Also called the “War of Succession”

    Amin

    the two brothers Amin and Ma’mun, both of which are sons of Harun al-Rashid. Harun makes a document about his choice for succession that says Amin, who is part Arab, is a slave to his passions, while Ma’mun deserves nothing but praise. But, the obvious choice is Amin, because of affirmative action, and so the family travels to Mecca in 802 and the Ka’ba where Amin agrees to accept the Caliphate on the terms that he will pass it to Ma’mun upon his death.

    Minha

    means “the ordeal” or the “inquistition” and was a test given to 45 scholars basically trying to figure out if they follow the Caliph’s (al-Mamun’s) theological views. 4 initially say no, but then 2 reconsider. Of the 2 left, one is Ibn Hanbal who will use this to become Shaun Michaels famous.
