Ahmad ibn Ajlan

Shihāb al-Dīn Abū Sulaymān Aḥmad ibn ‘Ajlān ibn Rumaythah al-Ḥasanī (Arabic: شهاب الدين أبو سليمان أحمد بن عجلان بن رميثة الحسني) was Emir of Mecca from 1361 to 1386.

He served as deputy to his father during the latter's co-reign with Thaqabah ibn Rumaythah.

After Ajlan and Thaqabah were deposed by Sultan al-Nasir Hasan in 1359, Ahmad and his brother Kubaysh were imprisoned in Egypt along with their father.

When Ajlan assumed the Emirate in early Shawwal 762 AH (August 1361) he appointed Ahmad as coregent.

[2] Ahmad died on Saturday night, 20 Sha'ban 788 AH (14–15 September 1386).
