Muhammad ibn al-Qa'im (Template:Lang-ar) also known as Muhammad Dhakirat was an Abbasid prince, son of Abbasid caliph Al-Qa'im. He was designated as heir apparent by his father in mid-eleventh century but he pass away before his father.

Biography

Muhammad was the son of Abbasid caliph Al-Qa'im who reigned from 1031 to 1075 and the grandson of caliph al-Qadir.

In 1030, al-Qadir named his son Abu Ja'far al-Qa'im, as his heir, a decision taken completely independently of the Buyīd emirs. During the first half of al-Qa'im's long reign, hardly a day passed in the capital without turmoil. Frequently the city was left without a ruler; the Buyīd emir was often forced to flee the capital. While the Seljuk's influence grew, Dawud Chaghri Beg married his daughter, Arslan Khatun Khadija, to al-Qa'im in 1056.

His father, al-Qa'im nominated him heir apparent in mid eleventh century however he died during his father's reign and his father then nominated his son, Abd Allāh (future Al-Muqtadi) as next Heir-apparent. In 1075 al-Muqtadi succeeded his grandfather, when al-Qa'im died at the age of 73–74.

Al-Muqtadi was born to Muhammad Dhakirat, the son of caliph al-Qa'im, and an Armenian slave girl called Urjuwuan.
