Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad, also known as Abbad I, was an important leader in a part of Spain called Al-Andalus a long time ago. He was the first independent Muslim ruler of Seville, a city in what is now Spain. He started his rule in 1023 and continued until he passed away in 1042. He also founded a ruling family called the Abbadid dynasty.
Who Was Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad?
Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad was born around 984. Before he became a ruler, he was a qadi. A qadi was like a judge who also knew a lot about religious laws. In 1023, the caliph (a top leader) of Cordoba, Yahya ibn Ali ibn Hammud al-Mu'tali, chose him to be the governor of Seville.
Becoming an Independent Ruler
At that time, the main government, known as the Caliphate of Cordoba, was becoming weaker. It was losing its power and control over different areas. Because of this, the Abbadids, a powerful family from Seville with Arabic roots, decided to take charge.
Later in 1023, Abu al-Qasim Muhammad ibn Abbad made a big decision. He declared that Seville was now independent from Cordoba's rule. This meant Seville would govern itself. By doing this, he created the Taifa of Seville, which was an independent Muslim kingdom. He ruled this kingdom until his death in 1042.
