What is referred to as the Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottomani 'dynasties' are names of the different eras of rule over the Islamic state.
In Islam, the Muslims are united as one nation ruled by one ruler or Caliph, this caliph or Khalifah can be any Muslim man who is capable and able to rule and can be changed by the people if he does not rule correctly.
A large number of rulers after Muhammad (saw) were from the family of Banu Umayyah, then another era of rulers from the family of Banu Abbas, then another from the family of Banu Uthman (these were Turkish). This ended in 1924 CE after 1302 years of Islamic rule since the time of Muhammad (saw).

Some of the lasting accomplishments of the Umayyad and Abbasid empires were religious freedom, lower taxes, and the geographical growth of the caliphate.
Umayyad dynasty ruled from 661 to 750. The Abbasid dynasty rose to power in 750 through 813. Then the Empire became fragmented, but the Abbasid dynasty survived as a weaker and weaker state until 1258 C.E.
The Abbasid Empire significantly influenced the Umayyad government in Córdoba by providing a model of administration, culture, and governance that the Umayyads adapted in their own context. After the Umayyad caliphate was overthrown in the East, the surviving Umayyad members in Spain established an independent emirate, using Abbasid ideas to create a centralized and sophisticated bureaucratic system. This included the promotion of arts, sciences, and trade, fostering a rich cultural environment that mirrored the flourishing Abbasid capital of Baghdad. Ultimately, the Umayyads in Córdoba blended these influences with local customs, leading to a unique and prosperous society in medieval Spain.
Islamic art during the Umayyad and Abbasid Dynasties illustrates a harmonious blend of the sacred and secular through its architectural, decorative, and calligraphic forms. Structures like the Great Mosque of Damascus and the Alhambra reflect religious significance while incorporating intricate geometric patterns and motifs that celebrate the natural world, symbolizing the divine. Additionally, secular art forms, such as ceramics and textiles, often featured verses from the Quran or Islamic themes, merging everyday life with spiritual expression. This integration highlights how Islamic culture valued both religious devotion and the beauty of the material world.
When the Abbasid dynasty overthrew the Umayyad dynasty in 750 CE, they ordered the execution of many Umayyad leaders to eliminate any potential threats to their rule. This led to a significant purge, where members of the Umayyad family were hunted down. However, one notable survivor, Abd al-Rahman I, escaped to Spain, where he established the Umayyad Emirate of Córdoba. The Abbasids also shifted the center of power from Damascus to Baghdad, fostering a new cultural and intellectual renaissance.
The Abbasid Caliphate did not directly expand into Spain; instead, it was the Umayyad Caliphate that established control over the Iberian Peninsula in the early 8th century. After the Umayyad dynasty was overthrown in the East, a surviving member, Abd al-Rahman I, fled to Spain and established an independent Umayyad emirate in Córdoba. The Abbasids, while they did not rule Spain, had a significant cultural and intellectual influence on the region through their connections with the Umayyad rulers.
The khalifas starting with Abu bakr al Sidiq then Omar ibn alkhattab then Othman ibn affan then ali ibn abi Talib then khaled ibn alwaleed ( he wasnt a khalifa) then it broke down into different dynasties including the abbasid the fatimad and Umayyad
The Abbasids moved their capital to Baghdad because they wanted to move it closer to Damascus during the time when Umayyad's capital was Damascus. In which means that the Abbasid empire wants to overthrow the Umayyad empire.
