No empire was created specifically in order to conquer Constantinople.
From 656-661 C.E. there was the Fitna al-Kubra or the First Islamic Civil War where the the Rightly-Guided Caliphate, the Khawarijites, and the Umayyad Caliphate all fought each other for dominance in Egypt, Levant, and Mesopotamia. The Umayyad Caliphate came out of that war as the single Islamic Empire and single Arab State. The Umayyads focused their attention northward and besieged Constantinople from 674-678 C.E.
