Respuesta :

The Umayyads had conquered many new lands and peoples for Islam, but in 750 AD, after 90 years of continuous rule, they faced some serious economic and political problems. If you were a non-Muslim, you had to pay a few more taxes than the Muslims. If you became a Muslim, you wouldn't have to pay those extra fees anymore. The majority of the non-Muslims said,"to hell with it" and became Muslims so they wouldn't have to pay. Consequently, as the number of conversions to the Islamic culture increased, the amount of tax money available for the empire decreased. 

The economic problems that contributed to the collapse of the first Muslim dynasty (Umay.ads) included the following:

  • Low income from taxation
  • Inability to be economically productive
  • Income redistribution to converted Muslims through unequal payment of taxes.

Who were the Umay.ads?

The first Muslim dynasty (Umay.ads) were the first Muslim dynasty established in Damascus through the leadership of the first four caliphs.

The first Muslim dynasty (Umay.ads) were later overthrown by the common people led by the Abbasids.

Thus, the economic problems that contributed to the collapse of the Umay.ads were self-inflicted in the name of having many converts.
