Who is the leader of Islam?

Answer 1

Answer 1The civil and religious leader of a Muslim state considered to be a representative of Allah on earth. A Caliph is the title which is given to the ruler or leader of the Islamic Ummah. Answer 2Caliph is called on the rulers after prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) death and no longer used. No Caliph is considered per Islam religion as the representative of Allah (or God in English who is worshiped also in Judaism and Christianity). This is viewed in Islam as considering a partner for God which is strictly forbidden in Islam.

Answer 2

The leader of Islam Is Muhammad.

Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon Him) is the leader of Islam.

Islam is not an organization. Thus we can't say who is the leader. Muslims believes in one god(Allah), and muhammed is the messenger of Allah and he is the one and only prophet Islam of this time.

Answer 3

Islam was inspired by the influential visions of a man named Muhammad Ibn Abdullah (about 500-632 CE) Merchant from nomadic tribe, married to wealthy widow Khadija. His followers considered him the last of God's prophets. Muhammad's father died before he was born and his mother died when he was six. He was raised by an uncle. Saw greed and materialism of merchants, as counter to Arab tradition of generosity. He went on retreats and had visions for 23 years, his wife encouraged him to listen and he began to share his views to a group of followers (Muslims).Muhammad did not consider himself divine, but a prophet of God, his final voice which was to finish the work of the others (Abraham and Jesus). Starting with 70 Muslims, he built a community of believers, Umma, who united around God's message around 600 in Mecca.

Answer 4

Mohammed did not have a Caliph per se. Caliph means "Successor", so there was no Caliph during Mohammed's time because Mohammed was alive and needed no successor. After Mohammed, the Shiites believed that a particular speech given at Ghadir indicated the Mohammed had chosen 'Ali. The Sunnis countered that it was important to allow someone not of Mohammed's genetic line to inherit power so that it was clear that Islam was not just another dynastic cycle and disputed the implications of the events at Ghadir.

The first Caliph after Mohammed was Abu Bakr, who was elected by the Sunnis.
