Best Answer

Most citizens of the Arab World did not believe that the Umayyad should rule on account of their holiness or conduct. They became rulers because of political finagling during the Fitna Al-Kubra (The Great Islamic Civil War). The Umayyad were capable governors and powerful conquerors, organizing the Empire and expanding it both East and West. People tolerated them, but they were not respected the way that the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs were respected.
