Best Answer

What is referred to as the Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottomani 'dynasties' are names of the different eras of rule over the Islamic state.

In Islam, the Muslims are united as one nation ruled by one ruler or Caliph, this caliph or Khalifah can be any Muslim man who is capable and able to rule and can be changed by the people if he does not rule correctly.

A large number of rulers after Muhammad (saw) were from the family of Banu Umayyah, then another era of rulers from the family of Banu Abbas, then another from the family of Banu Uthman (these were Turkish). This ended in 1924 CE after 1302 years of Islamic rule since the time of Muhammad (saw).
