AlmÃ±à  or Almuà ¡ (Almysh Elteber, Almish Yiltawar, , , ), iltäbär of the Volga Bulgars, is believed to have been the first Muslim ruler (emir) of Volga Bulgaria.
AlmÃ±à  was a son of à Âilki (). He ruled the Volga Bulgars, probably from Bolghar, in c. 895-925. According to the controversial History of JaÃÂfar, AlmÃ±à  was a younger son of à Âilki, and had succeeded his older brother Bat Ugïr as ruler. The same text identifies AlmÃ±à  with ÃÂlmos, the father of the Hungarian prince ÃÂrpád; this is perhaps unlikely despite the close correspondence of the names and the approximate synchronicity, although the Bulgars and Hungarians are believed to have shared some common Hunnic and/or Onoghuric elements in their origins. Initially a vassal of the Khazars, AlmÃ±à  struggled to assert the independence and unity of the Bulgar tribes in the area. Perhaps in part to do so more effectively, he sought to convert to Islam and sent ambassadors to the Abbasid caliph at Baghdad, seeking proper instruction in Islam and builders to erect a proper mosque. In 922, the caliph al-Muqtadir's ambassador Aḥmad ibn Faá¸ÂlÃÂn reached Bolghar and met with Almñà Â. The Abbasid caliphate became an ally of Volga Bulgaria. AlmÃ±à  adopted the Islamic name Jaÿfar ibn ÿAbdallÃÂh (Latin Tatar: CäÃÂfär bine ÃÂabdulla, Arabic script: ). It is generally believed that during the reign of Almñà Â, Volga Bulgaria developed into a united, strong and independent state. However, apart from his culturally and religiously significant conversion to Islam, the account of Aḥmad ibn Faá¸ÂlÃÂn makes AlmÃ±à  the only Volga Bulgaran ruler about whom we have a relative wealth of information from surviving contemporary sources. Even so, we know little that is verifiable about his reign.
Aḥmad ibn Faá¸ÂlÃÂn makes reference to brothers, wives, and children of Almñà Â; two of his daughters were married, respectively, to the Khazar khaghan and to the ruler of the Esegel; a son was named Aḥmad in honor of Aḥmad ibn Faá¸ÂlÃÂn. According to the controversial History of JaÃÂfar, AlmÃ±à  was succeeded in turn by two of his sons, Ḥasan (c. 925-930) and MëkÃÂÃÂël (c. 930-943).
Aḥmad ibn Faá¸ÂlÃÂn, the caliphal ambassador, has left an account of his journey to and meeting with Almñà Â, describing him as "the king of the Saqaliba".
