As Marwan II was focused on his conquests in India, another dynasty emerged in Baghdad, the Abbasids. When the aging Caliph was visiting Baghdad in 1223AD, he died under suspicious circumstances. The Umayyad clan was in disarray and the Abbasids quickly overthrew them with precise attacks against the members of the Umayyad clan. Eventually the Abbasids claimed the Caliphate to themselves and Abu al-Abbas Abdu'llah as-Saffāh ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Abdullah ibn Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib ibn Hashim, also known as Al-Saffah, become the new Caliph of Arabia.
Al-Saffah continued Arabia's expansions in India and the city of Dhaka was claimed from Para Empire after a ruthless attack by the notorius Phoenician mercenaries supported by the Afgan Riders.
Al-Saffah also allowed the attack against the Ghorids to continue. However, the narrow mountain passes were filled with ambush opportunities and many Camel Riders Regiments were lost. Nontheless after nearly decade of fighting on the Afgani Highlands the Arabian Omani Riders managed to crush the main Ghorid Army, lead by Mohammad Ghori himself, outside the city of Kabul. The Ghori resistance was broken and Afganistan was attached to the Caliphate.
The Arabian Caliphate now reached from the Pyrenees to the Bay of Bengal. However the Caliphate faced many threats and especially the distant parts of it, like Tunis, were under continuous attacks. Al-Saffah focused to strenghten Arabian garrisons in order to maintain the Caliphate under Abbasid control.
Al-Saffah passed away peacefully in 1257AD and was successed by Abu Ja'far Abdallah ibn Muhammad al-Mansur.
However, in 1270AD the Turkish peoples in Anatolia formed an Ottoman Empire and attached the old Babylonian City States into it and conquered the old Eastern Roman capital of Byzantion. The Arabian Caliphate now faced a new thread much closer to her heartlands than ever before. In order to encounter this new thread Al-Mansur signed a peace treaty with the Para Empire.

Maybe he is taking about their persian their turkish rugs?
I just played a little and made some cool (at least I think so; still learning to use it properly) screenshots with paint.net, so I'll post an update soon. However, things didn't go as planned (attacking Turkey)..
EDIT: Sorry they new pictures didn't fit into this update, but they'll be in the next.
In 1310AD a Triumphal Arch was constructed in Makkah to celebrate the successful conquests during the past century. The Caliphate had never been this powerful and new conquests were planned by Al-Mansur.
However, this feeling of power came to a quick end as a bubonic plague, later labelled as the Black Death, originated in the diseased and famine thriven Para Empire in 1320AD. This plague spread quickly through the known world and all lands plunged into disarray. The Caliphate of Spain collapsed and the Para Empire ceased to exist as the whole Royal Family died due to the plague.
Inside the Arabian Caliphate whole villages were killed, if not by plague, then by the following famine. The Caliph himself was got the plague and died soon after, however, his son Muhammad ibn Mansur al-Mahdi survived the Black Death and claimed the Caliphate to himself. It took him years to rebuild the society and he was already an old man when the Caliphate had redeemed her glory.
As an old man Al-Mahdi had perhaps achieved more than his predecessors by holding the Caliphate together through the dark times. However, the Caliphate had not gained any territory during his reign and this bothered him as every Caliph before him had made at least some terrotorial gains.
Thus in 1389AD he sent a small army of Nubian Camel Riders south from Ethiopia in order to establish a trading port on the East Coast of Africa. The expedition was an success and an old Ethiopian province of Moyale was attached to the Caliphate without significant resistance.

I liked the update being short. Allows me to read it quicker. A story made up of 30 quick updates > A story made up of 10 long updates.

I became a member of this site just to tell you this: good story. 
Rapid-fire updates. I like it. I look forward to the further exploits of the Arabian Caliphate as it shreds every nation in its path.
