Al-Hakim II

Al-Hakim II (Arabic: أبو العباس أحمد الحاكم بأمر الله, Abū l-ʿAbbās Aḥmad al-Ḥākim bi-amr Allāh; died 1352) was the fifth Abbasid caliph of Cairo for the Mamluk Sultanate (1341–1352).

He took the office at the beginning of the month of Muharram in 742 AH, as Sultan al-Nasir Muhammad ibn Qalawun had recommended this, and al-Mustakfi had entrusted the succession after him to his son Ahmed, as he did not recognize the abdication of his nephew Ibrahim.

They held a council on Thursday the eleventh of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah in 741, and asked the caliph Ibrahim and the crown prince and the magistrate Ahmed, and said: Who deserves the succession legitimacy?

The caliph al-Hakim II died in the middle of 1352 CE (753 AH) with plague.
