Years: 687 - 687
The retreat of the Umayyad army had left Ibn al-Zubayr in undisputed control of Mecca.
With the collapse of Umayyad authority, he is soon acknowledged as the rightful Caliph across most of the Muslim world, including northern Syria.
The Umayyads, however, under the leadership of Marwan ibn al-Hakam, had managed to consolidate their position in Syria in the Battle of Marj Rahit, and even reclaim Egypt.
Ibn al-Zubayr's brother Mus'ab defeats al-Mukhtar and gains control of all of Iraq in 687.
