Abbasid empire spread farther, had more regional diversity,and a larger bureaucracy
Umayyad: (661-750 CE)
-Meccan merchant class
-Brought stability with Sunnis
-Head tax (jizya); favored Arabs
-Relatively tolerant in religion
-no social mobility (can't move up in class)
-Rulers live luxurious lives (though centralized rule)
-Capital- Damascus
-good military
Abbasid:
-More Persian: support of non-Muslims -> controls Persia/Mesopotamia
-Diverse administration
-DON'T EXPAND: content to administer empire inherited
-Brings together Muslims: Sunni/Shiite are all same etc.
-Court located at Baghdad
-laws based on Quran and sharia (has lex talionis: retaliation; if u kill someone, u r killed)
A comparison between the Abbasids and Umayyad Dynasty is that they shared the same belief in Islam, they both had the need to convert, and the area of land they had.

The Abbasids moved their capital to Baghdad because they wanted to move it closer to Damascus during the time when Umayyad's capital was Damascus. In which means that the Abbasid empire wants to overthrow the Umayyad empire.
