The Umayyads united the many lands and peoples of the Muslim Empire by sharing a common coinage, developing a common language, and building religious architecture. Sharing a common language enabled the Umayyads to bring the diverse cultures of their empire under control. Also, they developed a common coinage, having a common coinage made commerce between parts of the empire easier. And last, they built religious architecture like a mosque so they could praise and give thanks to Allah.

The Umayyads had conquered many new lands and peoples for Islam, but in 750 AD, after 90 years of continuous rule, they faced some serious economic and political problems. If you were a non-Muslim, you had to pay a few more taxes than the Muslims. If you became a Muslim, you wouldn't have to pay those extra fees anymore. The majority of the non-Muslims said, "to hell with it" and became Muslims so they wouldn't have to pay. Consequently, as the number of conversions to the Islamic culture increased, the amount of tax money available for the empire decreased. By 732, the Muslim armies were making fewer conquests. This stopped the flow of captured wealth that had enriched the empire's economy. The decline in tax revenues and the decrease in captured wealth helped contribute to the money shortage the Umayyads experienced.

Islam as a religion began to expand to places not yet conquered by the Umayyad Caliphs and their armies, resulting in an expansion of the Islamic World that was greater than the size of the actual Empire. The Empire, though, remained the primary method of Islamic Expansion in this period and this was facilitated by armies and conquest.
