What were the major motives for converting to islam when the umma opened up to non-muslims in the abbasid era?

- The status of non-Muslims was inferior. During the Umayyad Period it was specially the case, as Islam was Arab-centric and only  Muslim Arabs had access to high positions in the administration and bureaucracy. During the Abbasid Period, Caliphs decided to rely more and more on non-Arabs, notably Persians and in 930 CE a law was passed that made it mandatory for all bureaucrats of the Empire to be Muslims. Therefore non-Muslims had a professional incentive to further their career.

- The dhimmi status involved the payment of a "protection" tax that had to be paid by non-Muslims to Muslims. Poor people had no choice but to convert if they could not afford the payment of such tax.

- As the Empire prospered and developed many Muslims migrated to conquered lands that were majoritarily non-Muslim before their arrival. Their increased influx made the new majority relevant and non-Muslims preferred to convert in order to assimilate to their new reality.

from my own personal expirence food stamps has alot this makes it eaiser so we can affod bills and so we can life a better lifestyle not needing to worry about paying actual money to buy food since most people spend 100-300 dollars a month on food so this alot so we can afford other bills and other stuff we need

it made them more prductive and efficent but with the change of polcies less and les got into the navy
