Abu Ishaq Ibrahim ibn Jaʿfar al-Muqtadir () better known by his regnal title al-Muttaqi (908 – July 968, ) was the Abbasid Caliph in Baghdad from 940 to 944. His reign marked the start of the 'later Abbasid period' (940–1258).
==Biography== Al-Muttaqi was the son of al-Muqtadir and his concubine named Khalub also known as Zuhra. She was a Greek, and was the mother of Ibrahim (the future Caliph al-Muttaqi). His full name was Ibrahim ibn Jaʿfar al-Muqtadir and his Abu Ishaq. He had a striking appearance: blue eyes, red hair and a very pale clear complexion. A man of ascetic habits, he devoted himself to fasting and eschewed worldly pleasures like wine and love, famously asserting that his only desired companion was the Qur'an.
