Though the Caliphate was an Islamic nation, their rulers had a reputation for being tolerant of other religions. Other religious groups welcomed the stability and prosperity that being part of the Ottoman Empire brought, and while not having to fear persecution under its reign.
Different religious groups gained protection under Muslim rulers through various means. In many cases, Muslim rulers implemented a policy known as dhimma, which offered protection to non-Muslims in exchange for payment of a tax called jizya. This allowed religious minorities to practice their faith and maintain their own institutions. Additionally, some Muslim rulers, such as the Mughals in India, adopted a policy of religious tolerance, allowing different religious groups to coexist and retain their own customs and traditions.
The Umayyad Caliphate came after the four Rightly-Guided Caliphs.

Religious divisions often led to internal conflicts and power struggles, undermining rulers' authority and complicating governance. Different religious groups could have conflicting loyalties and interests, making it difficult for rulers to unify their subjects under a common national identity. Additionally, rulers might face challenges in gaining legitimacy and support from various factions, which could lead to rebellions or civil wars. Ultimately, these divisions hindered the development of strong, centralized states and contributed to ongoing instability.
