Answer 2

Answer:

• Non-Arab Muslims were allowed to hold powerful positions.
• Persian traditions strongly affected the caliphate.

The Abbasid Caliphate was the third Islamic caliphate to succeed the Islamic prophet Muhammad. They ruled from their capital in Baghdad, in modern day Iraq.

The Abbasid period was marked by reliance in Persian bureaucrats as well as an inclusion of non-Arabs into their community. Persian customs were widely adopted by the elite, and artists and scholars were supported by the government. Baghdad became a centre of science, culture and philosophy.
