The relationship between Abbasid rulers and the majority of their subjects is After the Persian model, Abbasid rulers cloaked themselves in an aura of mystery and divinity.

As the viziers exerted greater influence, many Abbasid caliphs were relegated to a more ceremonial role as Persian bureaucracy slowly replaced the old Arab aristocracy.
