Abstract	:	ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Khān (1843 or 1844–1901) was amīr (lit., “commander”) of Afghanistan (r. 1880–1901) and the only son of Amīr Muḥammad Afḍal Khān (r. 1866–7). He is credited with the creation of the modern Afghan state. After Afḍal Khān, two of his brothers and a nephew had ruled in Afghanistan, namely Muḥammad Aʿẓam Khān (r. 1867–8), Shīr ʿAlī Khān (r. 1868–79), Muḥammad Yaʿqūb Khān (r. very briefly in 1879 after his father Shīr ʿAlī left Kabul – his rule was terminated with the British invasion).
