Definitely the Ummayad Caliphate. Didn't have the balkans or asia minor, but had Spain, all of North Africa, Persia, Afghanistan - which the Ottomans did not have. Also, remember it was THE Muslim empire - the one and only unitary state derived from the polity founded by Mohamed. The Abbasids who succeeded didn't have spain, and they were succeeded by the shifting kaleidoscope of Muslim states that have continued to the present.

I'd go with the Ottoman empire for largest. Hard to say how to rank them as "most powerful", but probably Ottoman rather than Fatimid or Ummayad.

The Ottomans?

Definitely the Mongol Empire, if only for a short period of time, ruled all of Russia, China, India, the Middle East, and parts of Eastern Europe.

ottoman empire in turkey...I am not sure of the spelling.
They are the ones who killed , I should say butchered, women and children to the tune of 1.3 million Christians. This week congress remembered them.... timely question. Turkey didn't like that... Turkeys anyway....
Looks like others agree with my spelling
