Résumé

This paper looks at the reign of ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-Azīz (ʿUmar II) as the beginning of the end of the Umayyad power. Here we are referring to the so-called ‘reforms’ of ʿUmar II, which directly impacted Umayyad propaganda tools; such as history, poetry, and polemics, were severally damaged. The paper shows that it was these reforms and none other, which outlasted the Umayyads by severally hampering their efforts at maintaining their hegemony on legitimacy.
