The Umayyad Dynasty
From A.D. 661 until A.D. 750 Islam would be ruled by the descendants of Mu’ Awiyah known as the Umayyads. Under the guidance of the Umayyads, Islam continued its rapid spread throughout the world.
The Umayyad armies went as far East as China, and as far West as Spain. Islam quickly became one of the largest and most powerful nations on Earth.
