Muhammad Ibn Ra'iq

Abbasid Caliph
Years: 907 - 942

Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Ra'iq (died 13 February 942), usually simply Ibn Ra'iq, is a senior official of the Abbasid Caliphate, who exploits the caliphal government's weakness to become the first amir al-umara ("commander of commanders", de facto regent) of the Caliphate in 936.

Deposed by Turkish military leaders in 938, he regains the post in 941 and keeps it until his assassination in February 942.
