It was overthrown by the Abbasid
Abbasid Caliphate.
The Abbasid dynasty
Some of the lasting accomplishments of the Umayyad and Abbasid empires were religious freedom, lower taxes, and the geographical growth of the caliphate.
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.
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.
Non-Muslims actually had very minimal participation in the Umayyad and Abbassid Caliphates. Many former non-Muslims were asked to convert so that they could be part of the government. This was done because the Arabs had no experience in managing a bureaucracy and needed Persians and Byzantines who were skilled in running affairs of state. Jews were also believed to be good financiers and were allowed to join the financial ministries without converting.
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 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.
