The head of the faith and empire that succeeded Muhammad is the Caliph. The title "Caliph" refers to the political and religious leader of the Islamic community, claiming succession from Muhammad as the Prophet of Islam. Historically, the first four caliphs, known as the "Rightly Guided Caliphs," were Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali, who led the Muslim community after Muhammad's death in 632 CE. The role of the Caliph has evolved over time, with various dynasties and states claiming the title throughout Islamic history.
These individuals as a group are known as the SAHABA or Apostles of Muhammad. The regime that they founded was called the RIGHTLY-GUIDED CALIPHATE or RASHIDUN CALIPHATE.
The Rightly Guided Caliphs, or Rashidun Caliphs, were the first four leaders of the Muslim community following the death of Prophet Muhammad: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. They are considered "rightly guided" because they adhered closely to the teachings of the Quran and the Prophet's practices, leading the Muslim community with justice and integrity. Their leadership is marked by significant expansions of the Islamic state, the compilation of the Quran, and the establishment of a governance model based on consultation and consensus. Their era is often seen as a model of Islamic governance and moral integrity.
The rule of the three rightly guided caliphs is often referred to as the period of the "Rashidun Caliphate." This era lasted from 632 to 661 CE and included the leadership of Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, following the death of the Prophet Muhammad. The caliphs are considered "rightly guided" due to their adherence to Islamic principles and their efforts in expanding the Muslim community. The period is marked by significant political and military achievements as well as the establishment of key administrative practices in the early Islamic state.
