The aim of this research paper is to identify the history of the reign of Prince Bader bin Hasnawayh bin Hussein al-Barzikani (369-405AH/979-1014AD) from the political and civilizational perspective. This era is considered one of the most prosperous and advanced periods of the rule of the Hasnawayh Emirate, wwhere the Prince assumed the rule of the emirate after his father’s death, Prince Hasnawayh bin Hussein al-Barzikani (369 AH / 979 AD). Prince Bader was able to tighten his complete control over the western region of the mountains by the assistance of the Buyid prince Adud al-Dawla bin Rukn al-Dawla, succeeding to control the affairs of the Hasnawayh Emirate, establishing security and stability, and striking the hands of the troublemakers. This study is concerned with explaining the history of the Hasanawi Emirate during the reign of Prince Badr bin Hasanawi and his role at the level of internal and external relations, and the nature of his relationship with the Buyid princes, which was characterized by ebb and flow. It reached the peak of its prosperity and political and civilizational development, so some called him the Prince of Mountains because, according to the praise and testimony of historians, he was brave and had sound opinions and was experienced, especially in the political, economic and financial aspects. His economic policy had positive results and his coffers became overflowing with money, leading the emirate to become competitive with the rule of the Buyids during that period, while the Buyids were suffering from economic crises due to the preoccupation of its princes with a life of extravagance and luxury. Therefore, they often relied on Prince Bader's assistance with money, saving them from economic crises and problems. This was all due to the shrewdness and wise policy followed by Prince Bader bin Hasanawi in order to preserve the interest and strength of his emirate's rule at the expense of the Buyids.
