What does Islamic art show about the blend between the sacred and the secular in the Umayyad and Abbasid Dynasties?
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.

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.
