Yes. It was during the Rightly-Guided Caliphate that many of the core texts of Islam, especially the Qur'an, were codified. Additionally, upon Mohammed's death, Islam was only an Arabian faith. With the conquests made during Omar's and Othman's Caliphate, Islam became a multi-regional and multi-ethnic faith.
