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.

This depends on what you mean by the word caliph. If you are referring to the rightfully guided Caliphs, who came right after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (S), then the last one, Hasan ibn Ali (RA) died in the year 50 After Hijra. There is debate about whether he or Ali ibn Abi Talib, his father, is the last of the rightfully guided Khalifas. Ali died in 40 AH. The Caliphate, however, was never officially abolished until the year 1924 AD, or 1343 AH. The last Caliph, Abdulmecid the second of the Ottoman Empire, was forced to abolish his title upon the formation of the Republic of Turkey.
