    Abū Bakr's appointment as the first caliph after Muhammad's death was significant because it established the leadership under which Islam began expanding territorially through conquest. There was tension over leadership succession after Muhammad died without sons to inherit his legacy. The Abbasid rulers brought changes to the Islamic world such as relocating the capital from Damascus to Baghdad, making administrators more ideal in the public's eyes, and minimizing differences between Arab and non-Arab groups, unlike the Umayyads who favored Arabs.

    rulers brought to the Islamic world are the change of capitals from Damascus to Baghdad, the administrators
    becoming more ideal in the eyes of the public, and whereas Arabs were more favored among the Umayyads, the
    Abbasids chose to minimize any differences between the Arabs and the Non-Arabs.
