THE STRUCTURE OF AUTHORITY IN PRE-ISLAM
The traditional society is the starting point for the changes that concern this study. We cannot recognize what is new in a situation today unless we know what the situation was yesterday; we can not appreciate increases or decreases, as in party strength or political activities, unless we can measure them from some baseline. Similarly, we cannot hope to understand how politics changes under the impact of modernization unless we have some understanding of politics before there was any modernization. The fact is that an institution can be operated only by men; personalities figure prominently in Islamic history as in the history of non-Islamic world. Charged with the application and execution of the idea or ideas embodied in the institution of the ummah, men were both shaped and guided by the institution itself and also, perhaps more importantly, themselves shaped and guided the institution. Hence, the importance of personality in the development of Islamic history and the development of Islamic institutions cannot be neglected.

This study aims to evaluate the Caliphate as a political and government system in early Islamic history, particularly in the context of Sayyiduna Hazrat Ameer Muawiya's administration and Architecture, the first Umayyad Caliph. Despite other facets, history has been depicting various governments and political systems that operated across the world and remain continued. Correspondingly, in the early Islamic period, there was also a solid paradigm of government and politics recognized as the Caliphate. From the Islamic perspective, the caliphate or Islamic government represents God's viceregency, to implement and shelter the divine orders by establishing society on Islamic lines and to run and uphold its order via guiding the people toward the true path and fortifying their lives and rights. In this regard, thi 1 s study seeks to critique the different aspects of Sayyiduna Hazrat Ameer Muawiya's administration and Architecture centering upon his political management, administrative setup, and judicial and social service systems. This historical research employs a qualitative research design and is based on secondary sources. The findings reflect that the sociopolitical, administrative, and judicial systems were firmly established and these setups of Hazrat Ammer Muawiya's caliphate were highly valued by a substantial part of the intelligentsia. Such great achievements and accomplishments proved his administration flourishing and kept him still alive in Islamic history as well as the policies for urban planning and architecture.
