During the caliphate of Al-Ma'mun Al-Abbasi (198-218 AH/813-833 CE), Egypt, the Levant, and Sham experienced revolutions and conflicts. In Egypt, Khurasani factions rebelled and Al-Ma'mun seized the opportunity to gain support and control. The conflict divided Arab factions, with Yemenis supporting Al-Ma'mun and Qaysis supporting Al-Amin. Al-Ma'mun besieged Al-Amin in Baghdad, leading to his downfall and the struggle for Egyptian independence. Al-Ma'mun regained control and appointed new leaders. In parallel, Andalusians were expelled from Alexandria, leading to clashes and the rise of new leaders. In Sham, Nasr ibn Shabath rebelled against Al-Ma'mun, defending Arab identity. He gained control but was eventually captured and executed. This highlighted the challenges faced by the Abbasid state in maintaining control. Abdullah ibn Tahir subdued Sham and stabilized the region under Al-Ma'mun's rule.
