Who were the Mawali?
Islam promised a community
(Umma in Arabic) united and equal regardless of race. But the Umayyad Caliphate
granted anything but that. Its desire to unite the Caliphate under Arabic
culture led to the creation of a whole new class of Muslims that do not share
Arabic blood. They became known as the Mawali.
