Historical Usage
Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani mentioned Al-Askar as a title given to the Abbasid Caliph Al-Musta'in Billah (r. 862-866 CE). It was derived from the Arabic word askar, meaning 'army' or 'soldiers', reflecting the caliph's role as commander of the military forces.
862-866 CE
Ibn Khaldun, in his 'Muqaddimah', described Askar as a city in North Africa, which was the capital of the Hammadid empire (1014-1152 CE). It was renowned for its military strength and was the base for the Hammadid army, which played a significant role in the Islamic world during the High Middle Ages.
