Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz

Japanese: ウマル[2世]（英語表記）‘Umar b.‘Abd al‐‘Azīz

682‐720
The eighth caliph of the Umayyad dynasty. Reigned 718-720. A devout Muslim, he was the first caliph to try to reflect Islamic ideals in real politics. To that end, he encouraged the inhabitants of his conquered territories to convert to Islam and implemented a series of tax reforms. Although the reforms ended in failure, they were in response to the demands of the Mawali people, who wanted equality with Arab Muslims, and were in keeping with the trend of the times, and his ideals were realized with the establishment of the Abbasid dynasty. [Hanada Uaki]

682‐720
ウマイヤ朝第8代カリフ。在位718‐720年。敬虔なイスラム教徒で，イスラムの理念を現実の政治に反映させようとした最初のカリフ。そのため彼は征服地の住民のイスラムへの改宗を奨励し，一連の税制改革を行った。改革は失敗に終わったが，それはアラブ･ムスリムとの平等を求めるマワーリーの要望にこたえるもので，時代の潮流であり，アッバース朝の成立によって彼の理想は実現した。【花田宇秋】
