Walid b.'Abd al-Malik

Japanese: ワリード[1世]（英語表記）Walīd b.‘Abd al‐Malik

670-715
The sixth caliph of the Umayyad dynasty. Reigned 705-715. Like his father Abd al-Malik, he worked to Arabize and expand the empire, which stabilized domestic affairs and marked the dynasty's peak, with its territory stretching from the Iberian Peninsula in the west to Central Asia in the east. He also expanded the Kaaba in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina, while confiscating the Church of John the Baptist in Damascus and renovating it to become the Umayyad Mosque. [Hanada Uaki]

670ころ‐715
ウマイヤ朝第6代カリフ。在位705‐715年。父アブド･アルマリクと同じく帝国のアラブ化と拡大に努めたので内政は安定し，領域は西はイベリア半島から東は中央アジアにまで及び，同朝の極盛期が現出された。またメッカのカーバとメディナの預言者のモスクを増築する一方，ダマスクスにある洗礼者ヨハネの教会を没収し，これをウマイヤ･モスクとして増改築した。【花田宇秋】
