Person
Hashim ibn Suraqa
Hashim ibn Suraqa was an Arab governor of Derbent on the Caspian coast of the Caucasus who in 869, as Abbasid authority weakened, founded the hereditary Hashimid dynasty. Under his line Derbent became an independent frontier emirate, waging holy war against the peoples of the northern Caucasus, until its incorporation into the Seljuk sphere in the late 11th century.
