Abstract :
One of the strong factors of the prosperity of Arabic literature and poetry in Umayyad era is that the Umayyads drowned Hijaz and its people with the money for the fear of revolution of the inhabitants in Medina and Mecca, including the characters of Quraysh and Ansar, so they gave them the best of kindness. Emergence of Islamic influence and religious values appeared in the different arts of poetry, such as in the praise, including the multiplicity of cultural sources. The emergence of a foreign trend was alongside the Jahili current and Islamic trend as well, because of the mixing of Arabs with the other nations in that era. As for the social relations between Arabs and Persians (loyalists), the rulers of Umayyad caliphs relied on the people, especially the people of conquered lands and gathered a great wealth. The grievances against the loyalists were the most severe and the most terrible, because the imposition of tribute to those was inappropriate to the Islamic law. It was normal to find some poets against this injustice raising their other races like the Persians. State of Bani Umayyad was built after the stages of struggle and preparation. The successors of Bani Umayyah were keen to attract poets who were praising them so that their state can live and they revive their memory in their poetry. Therefore they were giving to the poets a lot of rewards, so the political poetry and spinning flourished, as each poetry had its style and clear feature.
