How does the Abbasid Caliphate represent a change in the characteristics of Muslim leadership?
The Abbassid Caliphate does not represent a shift in the method of Islamic Leadership. The shift occurred between the last Rightly-Guided Caliph, 'Ali, and the first Umayyad Caliph, Mu'awiya. The position of Caliph shifted from being the person most devoted to the religion to a hereditary role, palaces and traditional trappings of imperial life took hold, and the Caliphate was firmly divided into wilayat (provinces) under the control of the wali'in (governors). The only major change in policy that occurred under the Abbassids was that Mawali (Non-Arab Muslims) were now equal to Arab Muslims in terms of rights and privileges.

What happened in 661 that greatly changed the governing of the Islamic Empire?
In 661, Muawiyah, the founder of the Umayyad Dynasty successfully defeated Ali and ended the Rightly-Guided Caliphate. The way Caliphs (Islamic Rulers) had come to power was through minor elections between those closest to the Prophet. Most believe that the Rightly-Guided Caliphs were people who attempted to guide Islam properly and were only interested in benefiting their people and expanding Islam. Muawiyah made control of the Islamic Empire hereditary (the Umayyad and Abbassid Empires were both hereditary) and the Umayyad Caliphs were seen to be incredibly ostentatious and non-religious. As Umayyads expanded their power, they began to set up regional governors and entrusted them with a lot of local authority. Also, the religious elite separated from the Umayyads and made the judiciary (which was run by the religious elite) a more independent body from the Caliph.
