Córdoba's greatness under the Umayyads stemmed from its status as a cultural and intellectual hub in medieval Europe. The Umayyad Caliphate transformed the city into a center of learning, art, and architecture, exemplified by the construction of the Great Mosque of Córdoba. Its thriving economy, advanced agricultural practices, and religious tolerance attracted scholars, poets, and artisans from diverse backgrounds, fostering an environment of innovation and cultural exchange. This blend of influences made Córdoba a beacon of civilization during the Middle Ages.
They united various Muslim factions, and encouraged Umayyad loyalists to come to Spain. ... They created a strong, unified Muslim kingdom with Cordoba as its capital.What was the basis for Cordoba's greatness under the Umayyads?
The Umayyads are an Arabian tribe that moved from central Arabia to Damascus during the rule of the Caliph Omar to be the leaders of the Damascus Governate. Their authority expanded under Caliph Othman, who was a cousin of the Umayyads.
The political centre of Islam was Damascuss under the Umayyad Caliphate.
They did not. The Umayyads had no accepted religious authority, therefore they could not change Islamic Law or strongly influence it. However, under the Umayyad, the role of the Alim (or scholar) came to the fore as the primary source from which Qur'an could learned.
No. Under the Sunni Umayyads, Shiites were quite strongly discriminated against. After Yazid I martyred Hussein, the Shiites made it their mission in life to oppose every action of the Umayyad dynasty. It did not help matters that the Umayyads tortured and murdered Shiite Imams and Infallibles, leading to irreconcilability between the Shiites and the Umayyads.The anger happened specifically because Umayyads targeted Shiites and Mawali Sunnis (Sunnis who were not Arabs) for violence. They also had issues with control over the vast distances of their empire as well as noble Arab families that resented the Umayyads' rise and wanted power. (One of these rival families was the Abbassids, who would eventually take power from the Umayyads in a coup d'etat.)
Constantine.
Non-Revolters, I guess. There is no particular term for those who accepted the imperial right of the Umayyads. The overwhelming majority of Sunni Muslims did, however, while the overwhelming majority of Shiite Muslims did not. The Sunnis who did not necessarily concede the Umayyads the right to rule were the Mawali or non-Arab Muslims who suffered under Umayyad pro-Arab discrimination.
