Harun al-Rashid, The Golden Prime | 766CE – 809CE | Abbasid Caliphate #03

Harun al-Rashid is, without a doubt, the most famous caliph. Even those who don’t know anything about Islamic history know the name of Harun al-Rashid. Most of what we think we know about him comes more from exotic imagination and the Arabian Nights than from actual history. Whenever someone talks about a good leader in the Islamic World, Harun is almost always one of the people they’re thinking about – a just and stern autocrat. Still, no one has ever been able to live up to that man, not even the real Harun.
