What happened in 661 that greatly changed the governing of the Islamic Empire?
In 661, Muawiyah, the founder of the Umayyad Dynasty successfully defeated Ali and ended the Rightly-Guided Caliphate. The way Caliphs (Islamic Rulers) had come to power was through minor elections between those closest to the Prophet. Most believe that the Rightly-Guided Caliphs were people who attempted to guide Islam properly and were only interested in benefiting their people and expanding Islam. Muawiyah made control of the Islamic Empire hereditary (the Umayyad and Abbassid Empires were both hereditary) and the Umayyad Caliphs were seen to be incredibly ostentatious and non-religious. As Umayyads expanded their power, they began to set up regional governors and entrusted them with a lot of local authority. Also, the religious elite separated from the Umayyads and made the judiciary (which was run by the religious elite) a more independent body from the Caliph.

What is the golden period of Islam?
The golden period of Islam was most likely the rule of the early Ummayad and Abbasid Caliphs, whereupon most of the islamic middle east was united under a single ruler. Under the early Sunni Abbasid caliphs, in particular the Caliph Harun al-Rashid, science and art flourished, in a time where Islamic culture vastly surpassed western European society (which still dwelled in the dark ages). The Golden age of islam can best be seen as the time period between 750 AD- 1258 AD, brought to an end by, not so much the Crusades but more the Mongol invasion, the death of the last Caliph and the gradual political fragmentation of the Islamic world.
