Tashfin ibn Ishaq ibn Muhammad ibn Ghaniya
Tashfin ibn Ishaq ibn Muhammad ibn Ghaniya (Arabic: تاشفين بن إسحاق بن محمد بن غانية) was a ruler of the Balearic Islands, from c. 1185 to c. 1187.
A member of the Banu Ghaniya dynasty, Tashfin came to power in Majorca as a replacement for his brother , who had been overthrown by his Muslim subjects after he attempted to seek support from Barcelona against the Almohad Caliphate. He remained in command of the Balearic Islands until sent a fleet under the command of 'Abdallah ibn Ghaniya to Majorca, whereupon he was deposed and replaced by 'Abdallah as amir.[1]
