The political, administrative and economic recovery process that took place after the Abbasid caliph al-Mu‘tadid moved the center of the state back to Baghdad in 279 (892) was short-lived. The fact that al-Muktadir became caliph at an early age and political conflicts caused Baghdad to fall into the hands of the Buwayhids in 334 (945). This writing aims to evaluate the work prepared by Adan Jarso Golole as a doctoral thesis under the name Political, economic, and social life in Baghdad in the process leading to the rule of Buwayhids (279-334/892-945) and published in 2021 as a book under the name of Baghdad Falling into the Hands of the Buwayhids (279-334 / 892-945).

In this research, the effects of the Turks on the Abbasid caliphate during the Samarra period are studied from a methodological point of view and depending on the main Islamic historical sources. The narrations highlight the role of the Turks in the success of the Abbasid revolutionary movement, their military activities in the administrative mechanism with the establishment of the new state, their contribution to the caliphate of al-Ma'mun and their success in the rebellion movements under the command of al-Mu'tasim in this period. However, they were transferred to the city of Samarra, which was built for them in 222/836, due to their undisciplined behaviour in Baghdad, which was the result of their huge power they derived through their influence on al-Mu'tasim who owed his caliphate to the Turks. In this period, known as the Turkish era or the Samarra period, their influence on the caliphs began to be felt closely in the political, administrative, military, economic and social fields. After their role in al-Mutawakkil's ascending to the caliphate, they became strong enough to kill the Caliph. After this incident, they became very influential on the administration because they appointed whoever they wanted to the caliphate, and they either deposed the caliphs from the caliphate or killed them. However, the death of many Turkish commanders and soldiers during the suppression of the Zanj rebellion and the struggle with the Saffarids and the Byzantine campaigns under the caliph al-Muʿtamid ʿalā ’llāh broke their influence on the caliphate. By taking advantage of this situation, the study concludes, al-Muʿtamid ʿalā ’llāh moved the capital back to Baghdad in 277/890 and ended the Samarra period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

For centuries, the subject of the science of history and the works published in this field has been political and military events. In order to obtain information about the social lives of past societies, these historical Works should be examined carefully. For this purpose, this article examines the work of Ibn al-Tiktaka, a shiite historican, called al-Fakhrî fi’l-adabi’s-sultaniyye ve’d-duveli’l-Islamiyye. He attributed this work to Fahraddin Isa, the governor of Mosul, of the Ilkhanid ruler, Ghazan Khan. The first part of the work has the status of a politician including advice to statesmen, while the second part deals with the process from the period of Hulafa-i Rashidin to the collapse of the Abbasid State. Part of the Abbasids, in particular, contains information from some unreachable works. In this article, a research has been made about the social life of Abbasid society in the context of clothing, entertainment, belief, health. A lot of detailed information has been reached on the mentioned issues. But since the people whose lives are noteworthy in this work are caliphs, viziers and the other state, it is a fact that the social incidents related to their lives have been transferred. It is understood that the Sassanian culture, which has a great influence on the social life of the Abbâsî community, is particularly evident in the belief in bad luck attributed to entertainment, interest, objects and events shown to refugees. As a result of this research, it has been revealed that the social lives of past communities can be learned by using information interspersed among the events in history books, which mainly focus on political and military activities.
