From the time periods of 661-1171, 3 Islamic dynasties reighned in North Africa and later in Egypt. These dynasties include the Umayyads (661-750), the Abbasids (750-1258), and the Fatmid Dynasty (909-1171) who sprung up during the Abbasid Dynasty. These 3 Dynasties had different ways of ruling, but they are significant dynasties in the History of North Africa. ... Islam was reserved as a privilege of the Arabs. Islam was not forced on the people they conquered. ... The Abbasids were Arabs descended from the Prophets uncle, but the movement they led involved Arabs and non-Arabs, including many Persians, who had converted to Islam and who demanded the equality to which they were entitled in Islam. ... Eventually the rival Shia Fatimid caliphate was established in Egypt, and the Baghdad caliphate came under the control of expanding provincial dynasties. The office of the caliph was nonetheless maintained as a symbol of the unity of Islam, and several later Abbasid caliphs tried to revive the power of the office. ... He started the Fatmid Dynasty which was the 3rd great dynasty in Islam.
