Most scholars who have discussed the change from the Umawi to the 'Abbasi dynasty have focused on the socio-political and military aspects of the revolts against the Umawis. This study examines the religio-ideological dimension of these revolts as represented by Shi'ism, that provided effective motivation, for the opposition to Umawi rule. The history of the late Umawi caliphate is discussed in order to clarify the role of Shi'ism and other religio-political opposition in accelerating the collapse of the Umawi dynasty. / La plupart des chercheurs qui ont étudié le passage de la dynastie des Umawis à celle des 'Abbasis ont mis l'accent sur les aspects socio-politiques et miliaires des révoltes contre les Umawis. La présente étude examine la dimension religio-idéologique de ces révoltes en tant que représentée par le Shi'isme qui a fourni une motivation effective pour l'opposition au règne des Umawis. L'historique de la fin du caliphate des Umawis est traitée dans le but de clarifier le rôle du Shi'ism et d'autres mouvements d'opposition religio-politiques dans l'accélération du déclin de la dynastie des Umawis.
