This article examines the role and influence of Islamic scholars (Islamic scholars) in the social and political life of the Umayyad period, as reflected in the historical work "History" by Khalifa ibn Khayyat. Khalifa ibn Khayyat is considered one of the first and most reliable Muslim historians, whose chronicles provide valuable chronological and biographical information about early Islamic society. The study emphasizes that the Islamic scholars acted not only as religious authorities, but also as moral guides, jurists, and intermediaries between the ruling elite and the general population. By analyzing the story of Khalifa ibn Khayyat, this study shows that the Islamic scholars made a significant contribution to the formation of Islamic political culture, the legitimization or criticism of political authority, and the continuity of Islamic values in public life. The article argues that Khalifa ibn Khayyat's "History" is an indispensable source for understanding the interaction between political authority and religious authority in early Islamic history.
