The Umayyad Caliphate (661–750 CE) was the first major Muslim dynasty. Founded by Mu'awiya I after the First Fitna, it moved the Islamic capital to Damascus. The empire achieved massive territorial expansion across three continents—from Spain to India—before falling to the Abbasids in 750 CE.



Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan (Arabic: هِشَام ابْن عَبْد الْمَلِك ٱبْن مَرْوَان, romanized: Hishām ibn ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Marwān; c. 691 – 6 February 743) was the tenth Umayyad caliph, ruling from 724 until his death in 743. His grandson Abd al-Rahman I (731 – 788) was the founder and first emir of the Emirate of Córdoba.
