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” -
