'''Abd al-Azrad''' (700? AD-738 AD), also known as Abdul Alhazred, was a creation of the weird-fiction author [[Howard Philips Lovecraft]]. Lovecraft named al-Azrad as the author of the ''Kitab Al-Azif'', the Arabic translation of the equally fictional ''Necronomicon'', in Lovecraft's [[Cthulhu]] Mythos, or "Yog-Sothothery", series of stories. Abd al-Azred was the pseudonym created by Lovecraft originally as a child during a period of infatuation with the ''1001 Arabian Nights''.
