Muawiyah is reported to have been of a polite, charming and confident nature and has been described as being tall, fair and handsome in appearance. During Muhammad's last years, Muawiyah served him by writing down the revelations of the Qur'an which were revealed to the Prophet. He fought against the fourth caliph, 'Ali (Muhammad's son-in-law), seized Egypt, and assumed the caliphate after 'Ali's assassination in 661. He restored unity to the Muslim empire and made Damascus its capital. He reigned from 661 to 680.
