There is a long line of fictional and historical figures who embody this role in Arab cultural artifacts, whether traditional oral epics or modern TV serials, from Abu Bakr to Harun al-Rashid to Saladin. The Muslim ruler Harun al-Rashid was instrumental in gathering knowledge of Greece, India and China. It was this mawla (client) Khalid, who, in the name of Harun al-Rashid, but at the expense of his native Persia, made a fortune and amassed personal political clout only to indulge himself- and to raise more than once the suspicion of his Arab master. |
