Question

This state’s Bureau of Registry made copies of every single official document to ward off forgery. This state's administration began to use the word dīwān for its agencies, leading to the word's modern dual meaning as a bureau and as a collection of poetry. The Ghassanids, who widely converted to Islam under this state, initially served it as non-Muslim bureaucrats called mawālī. This state unified its military and tax bureaus under its ruler ‘Abd (*) al-Malik. This state began partially due to (10[1])Uthman's patronage of a certain tribe of the Quraysh, and this state’s founder moved the capital to Damascus to solidify his power (-5[1])after (10[1])he defeated (10[1])Ali in the first Fitna. For 10 points, name this caliphate that replaced the Rashidun and was overthrown by the Abbasid. ■END■
