Best Answer

The Abbasids defeated the Ummayaeds and put to death every member of that family they could lay hands on. Then they turned to their cousins, the offspring of Hazrat Ali (RAU) and imprisoned the chief personalities who could claim their share in power. They also kept well trained and well armed army. They tried to win over influential personalities by foul or fair means and developed a powerful Empire.

The Abbassids inherited a large empire when they expelled the Umayyads in 750 C.E., so they already had a large population and larger army. They increased their power by investing in science and maths and aggregating extant knowledge. They also engaged in repression and execution of religious leaders who were advocating for a more spiritual and literalist religious interpretation.

What city was last capital of the Islamic empire and was sacked by the Muslims?

The answer you are looking for is: Baghdad. However, it is not actually correct for the question as phrased. The Abbassids were not the last Islamic Empire, Qajjar Persia was. It just happens that the Abbassids were the last Arab-Islamic Empire. Additionally, Baghdad was sacked by the Mongols, who were not Muslims at that time.
