Abstract
This paper
aims at analyzing the social and political conflict between the different
tribal groups within the Umayyad rule and to establish a link between the
Islamic values adopted by some of the Umayyad Caliphs and the `Abbasid
Revolution. One of the particular concerns
of this paper is to see the changes following the `Abbasid Revolution’s
victory, mainly the complete assimilation of all members of the Muslim
community, Arabs and non-Arabs into the empire. The transfer of the Islamic
capital from Damascus to Baghdad had its significance namely the intersection
of several trade-routs which could give real prosperity to the `Abbasid empire,
and subsequently led to the remarkable rapid spread of Islam among the
non-Arabs in the east and the far-east including the Malay Archipelago. The
remarks in this paper are intended to present a new picture of conclusion
reached in a more detailed study of the `Abbasid Revolution, conclusions which
are based on evidence contained in the earliest Arabic sources available to us.
