Stability in Muslim Spain came with the establishment of the Andalusian Umayyad dynasty, which lasted from 756 to 1031. The credit goes to Amir Abd al-Rahman, who founded the Emirate of Cordoba and was able to get the various different Muslim groups who had conquered Spain, to pull together in ruling it.
