- Umayyad dynasty
- (661-750) First great Muslim dynasty. It was founded by Muwiyah I, who triumphed over the Prophet Muhammad's son-in-law, Al, to become the fifth caliph. He moved the capital from Medina to Damascus and used the Syrian army to extend the Arab empire. The Umayyads' greatest period was under Abd al-Malik (r. 685-705), when their empire extended from Spain to Central Asia and India. Their decline began with a defeat by the Byzantine Empire in 717; intertribal feuding, discontent among non-Arab Muslim converts, and the failure of financial reforms eventually led to their unseating by the Abbsid dynasty. See also Abd al-Rahmn III; Ab Muslim; al-Husayn ibn Al
