Note: Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan was one of the most prominent Umayyad Caliphs, known for his military campaigns and administrative reforms. His reign marked a period of expansion and consolidation of the Islamic empire, as well as the promotion of Arabic as the official language and Islam as the state religion. The reforms he implemented, including the standardization of coinage, played a crucial role in strengthening the economic and political stability of the Umayyad Caliphate.
