Meaning and definition of aghlabids (800-909 a.d.)  :

 

This dynasty was established in 800 A.D. by Ibrahim ibn Aghlab, who was the governor sent by the Abassid Caliph, Harun al-Rashid, to suppress the unrest caused by the Berber tribes in North Africa. Following Ibn Aghlab's success with the tribes, Harun al-Rashid rewarded him by granting him relative independence in Ifriqiyya in return for an annual tribute. Aghlabid rule centered in Qayrawan, controlled what is now eastern Algeria and Tunisia, and expanded into Sicily, Malta and Southern Italy. Their power ended at the hands of al-Mahdi and a coalition of Berber tribes in 909 A.D. The Aghlabids were the most important and most powerful of the three dynasties that ruled North Africa in the ninth century. They founded Qayrawan, the city which became the nerve-center for the entire Maghrib. The contributed greatly to the infrastructure of Ifriqiyya, and built many waterways and forts. The Great Mosque of Qayrawan was enlarged and those in Susa and Tunis were repaired. The Great Mosque of Qayrawan, the oldest surviving mosque built by the Arabs in North Africa, was originally by the Arab general Uqba ibn Nafi‘. The Aghlabid Ziyadat Allah rebuilt the entire structure during the 9th century, where only the minaret and the mihrab were from previous periods.
