| description | The Quraysh are considered the dearest Arab tribes in pre-Islamic times and Islam. They have prestige, wealth, leadership, and religious sovereignty, and they remained so throughout the era of the Rashidun, unchallenged by them. And when the Umayyads came, they followed an Arab policy in most of their affairs, because they feared the Arab element of being lost and merging with foreign elements, especially when the number of those entering Islam from the non-Arabs began to increase due to the large number of conquests and the expansion of the state, so they relied on the Arabs alone, so they limited administrative and military jobs to them. And they transferred the diwans from Persian, Roman and Coptic to Arabic, and struck the rail and money and wrote the Arabic language on them. Moreover, they included the house of the caliphate, the supervision of the conquerors, the major workers and the governors.

Thus, the Arabs remained the first place in the Umayyad state until its fall.
And as soon as the first Abbasid era came, which witnessed a tangible growth in the influence of the Persians, helping them reach the center of the caliphate, so they took the initiative to reward them by assuming and practicing their traditions and administrative systems, such as the ministry, for example, and this prompted al-Suyuti to say that they introduced them to the Arabs until the presidency and leadership of the Arabs remained. |
