äbˌdool-mälĭkˈ, c.646–705, 5th Umayyad caliph (685–705); son of Marwan I. At his accession, Islam was torn by dissension and threatened by the Byzantine Empire.

An able administrator, he reorganized the government and introduced Arabic coins, improved postal facilities, and made Arabic the official language.
