Question

Please describe the government of the abbasid caliphate

Answer 1

The Abbasid Caliphate’s name is derived from Abbas Muttalib, uncle of the Prophet Muhammad.

The monarch-theocratic (ruled through a king, rule through a priest in the name of a deity) government of the Abbasid Caliphate from 750-1258 was very strong. This rule was based in Islam and Islamic law. During this era, Abbasids focused on eastern expansion with territory stretching from Africa to Western Asia. This prosperous time period was known as the “Golden Age of Islam”. The Abbasid government fell to the Mongols in 1258.

Answer 2

The Abbasids ruled the Muslim caliphate from 750 to 1258. Baghdad was their capital. They replaced the Umayyads as the dominant Muslim state. ... Even though Persian influence was strong, the Abbasids did not discriminate, and non-Muslims were permitted to serve in the government.
