Salam!
did you have ur AS level islamic studies exam last year?
If so, how was it? I am a bit afraid because i have been studying (actively) for this exam since late august and i am not sure about my knowledge. Also, when i read the question, at first i think that i cant answer it because of the way it has been asked. Any last minute advice?
InsaAllah that ur A level isl studies passes good.

The early ‘Abbasids: their seizure of the caliphate, the changes to administration of the state under their
rule, their decline and weakness after 850


Can someone give me notes of Abbasids please

The Umayyads: the establishment of the dynasty, the main events of their rule, their decline and
collapse

the establishment era begin from muawiya (r.a) time.. battle of siffin n after the death of ali n the period of hassan's rule n tking oaths on yazeeds name during his time.

main events would be focused on rebellions, their expansion n ofcourse include the events of the caliphs for special study..

muawiya- ali, hussan , appointing yazid as governor. cousin zeyad bin abi sufyan, kharijis

yazeed- karbala, ibn zubair, kharijis

marwan- shifting of the claiphate from sufyanids to marwanids.

abdul malik-standardized the currency, hajjaj bin yusuf death blow to ibn zubair, arabic official lang, construction of the dome of the rock

waleed- conquest

sulaiman bin abdul malik- broke the rule of heriditory succession

umar bin abul aziz- considered by many as 5th rightly guided caliph, policies of the 4 caliph, compile hadith...

hisham- stabalise the caliphate, reformed umar(II) law, zayd bin ali,

marwan (II)- last caliph, how caliphate seized

decline- conspiracy of abbasids,
old tribal rivalry b/w umayyads n banu hashim tribe...
immoral practices like bribes, murders , deceptions, secrecy, terror in the hearts of masses
umayyad appointed merciless governors eg: zeyad bin abi sufyan,
ruling in their blood but personal heridatory didnt work too well.

its just the basic point try to beat around the bush about it :D

if i missed something or u want extra info, plzz let me know :)
hope it helps :)
