Azzan ibn Tamim al-Kharudi (; died 893 CE) was the ruler of Oman from 890 to 893 CE, serving as both the nation's imam and sultan.[1] [2] [3]
Ibn Tamim was anointed Imam & Sultan of Oman in 890 CE—a time of tremendous turmoil for the region. Just three years later, Muhammad ibn Nur, a military commander of the Abbasid Caliphate, had invaded Oman, killing ibn Tamim along with his followers.[4]
