بنو امیہ کے دور میں اسلامی ریاست کے فروغ میں غیر مسلم اقلیتوں کی خدمات کا علمی و تاریخی جائزہ

A scholarly and historical review of the services of non-Muslim minorities in the development of the Islamic state during the Banu Umayyad period

Abstract

In the 6th century CE, Islam not only claimed spiritual guidance but also articulated a framework for enhancing political, economic, financial, ethical, and social aspects. This underscored its role as a motivational force, aiming not only to unite the disorganized Arab society but also to implement the principles and commands of its sacred book, the Quran, in practical life. During the rule of the Umayyad dynasty, particularly, the influence of the Islamic state reached as far as Iran and Rome. Under their reign, non-Muslim residents played a pivotal role in administering newly conquered regions and participating in conquests. This collaboration contributed to the success of the Umayyad rulers in efficiently governing a vast empire for a significant period.
