"Achieve success after caliph rule."

Explanation: The Umayyads were the first dynastic (hereditary) caliphate to rule after the period of the "Rightly Guided" caliphs (the Rashidun). They did not rely on election, did not restrict control to Arabia, and as a family many had opposed Muhammad early on.
