The Abbasids
The Abbasids last from 750-1258CE making them
one of the longest reigning Islamic dynasty in
History. They Originated from Arabia and their
name descends for our Holy Prophet's uncle named
Hazrat Abbas. Most of their support came from the
Persians who had recently converted to Islam.
The Rise
The rise of the Abbasids was primarily fueled by
their ability to gain support from various groups,
including the Persians. This support allowed them
to overthrow the Umayyad dynasty in 750 CE.
The Abbasids also shifted the capital to Baghdad,
which became a center of commerce, industry,
arts, and science. Their policies and promotion of
trade attracted people from different ethnicities
and religions, further contributing to their rise to
power
