Abu’l-Faḍl Abbas Al-Musta'in Billah (Arabic: أبو الفضل عباس المستعين بالله) (c. 1390 – February or March 1430)[1] was the tenth "shadow" Abbasid caliph of Cairo, reigning under the tutelage of the Egyptian Mamluk sultans from 1406 to 1414. He was the only Cairo-based caliph to hold political power as Sultan of Egypt,[2][3] albeit for only six months in 1412. All the other Cairene caliphs who preceded or succeeded him were spiritual heads lacking any temporal power.[4]
