The transformation of the Islamic caliphate into the Umayyad dynasty, which took place relatively shortly after the demise of Prophet Mohammad became the source of many questions and reflections, especially since those who led such a change were the Islam’s antagonists in the early years of prophecy and the rise of Islamic rule. Although the role of the deep-rooted tradition of tribalism and tribal activist families cannot be ignored in this authorization, what captivates the minds of researchers is the convergent role of the characters who were known in pre-Islamic times as the Arab’s geniuses.In this paper by adopting a transcendental approachto the role of heroes / geniuses / figures in history and assuming thatthe four geniuses, especially Mu'awiyah as a central figure had a Prominent role in the reproduction of the Arab political system, answers to the central question of why Islamic society quickly turned to the pre-Islamic political system and surrendered to a governance that was not justified so much on the scale of Islamic values
