Ibn Muqla

Abu 'Ali Muhammad ibn 'Ali ibn Muqla Shirazi (Baghdad, 885/886 – Baghdad, 20 July 940) is an Persian official of the Abbasid Caliphate who rises to high state posts in the early 10th century.

His career culminates in his own assumption of the vizierate at Baghdad thrice, in 928–930, 932–933 and 934–936.

Unable to successfully challenge the growing power of regional emirs, he loses his position to the first amir al-umara, Ibn Ra'iq, and died in prison.

He is also a noted calligrapher.
