Al-Muqtadir and Al-Mu'tadid were two caliphs of the Abbasid dynasty, which ruled over a vast Islamic empire. Al-Muqtadir reigned from 908 to 932 CE and is known for his attempts to strengthen the caliphate's authority, despite facing internal strife and external threats. His rule saw a decline in central power, leading to increased autonomy among regional governors. Al-Mu'tadid succeeded him and ruled from 892 to 902 CE. He is recognized for restoring some stability to the caliphate and implementing reforms to improve administration and military strength. His reign marked a period of relative prosperity and consolidation of power within the Abbasid dynasty.
