He succeeded to the Emirate in January 1788 after the death of his brother Sharif Surur, but he abdicated to his brother Sharif Ghalib within a few days.[2] He assisted Ghalib during his rule, leading several military expeditions against the Saudi-Wahhabi Emirate of Diriyah. In April 1803 when Wahhabi forces marched on Mecca, Ghalib appointed Abd al-Mu'in as acting Emir before retreating to Jeddah. Abd al-Mu'in surrendered the city to Saud ibn Abd al-Aziz and was installed as Emir under Saudi suzerainty. In July 1803 he allowed Sharif Ghalib to enter the city with his army and drive out the Wahhabi garrison.[3][4][5]
