Aflah ibn Abd al-Wahhab
Aflah ibn Abd al-Wahhab was the third imam of the Rustamid Imamate, the Ibadi state centred on Tahert in present-day Algeria, ruling for about fifty years in the 9th century. His long reign is remembered as the high point of the dynasty, when Tahert prospered from Saharan caravan trade and was known for its learned and open religious debate.
