The first four Caliphs after Muhammad, more commonly known as The Rightly Guided Caliphs were Abdullah ibn Abi Quhaafah (known by his nickname, Abu Bakr), Umar ibn al-Khattab, Ali ibn Talib and Uthman ibn Affan, in this order of succession.
They are:
Very unfortunate incidents for the Muslims began happening. The unity of the Muslims was shattered.
Mainly: Quran and Sunnah (prophet Muhammad saying and practices)
The four caliphs of the Rashidun Caliphate are: Abu Bakr, Omar, Othman, and Ali, in that order of succession.
The Qur'an
They were called caliphs.
There are 13 person when prophet was died, no caliphs were present at that time except Ali his brother, all 3 caliphs started voting that who will run Islam next to prophet, and Maula Ali gave him Ghosl and kafan.
As I believe, Qualities of four Caliphs.Abu Bakr Siddiue (R.A) - Friendship, Approach, CourageUmar (R.A) - Self-DisciplineUsman Ghani (R.A) - Will Power and DeterminationAli (R.A) - KindnessAnswer 2According to Shia Islam the first 3 of them have not been legimate Caliphs. because in Shia Islam Caliph is representative of God on earth and only God has the right to select his representative according to Quran. and God did not elect those first 3.
The first Four Caliphs are Called the Rightful (Rashidoon) Caliphs. They were in order of seniority: Hazrat Abubakr who died his natural death. Hazrat Umar was assasinated in the Majid i - Nabwi when he came to lead the Fajr prayer. Hazrat Usman was assasinated by the rebels. Hazrat Ali was also assinated while he came to lead the Fajr prayer. In fact, the first four Caliphs didn't keep any body guard.
the caliphs were Muhammad's successors, when Muhammad died there was turmoil between who had the right to succeed him...this started the sunni/ shia split
The first Muslim who died in the name of islam was a women. Her name was Hazrat Sumayya R.A.U. She was martyred by Abu Jahl.
Quran and Hadith .
The first four Caliphs are all informed by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) that they are promised by God to among ten prophet Muhammad companions who to be accepted the God Paradise in their 2nd life. Also, the four have close relations to prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) married the daughter of each of the first two Caliphs. The third Caliph married the daughter of prophet Muhammad and when this daughter died he married the other daughter. The fourth prophet married Fatima (may God be pleased with her) the youngest daughter of the prophet.
they all died
Not all the Caliphs are the true successors of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). Only first FOUR Caliphs are called Rashidoon - the Rightful Caliphs. Unfortunately, the caliphs after Hazrat Ali RAU didn't follow the teachings of Islam in letter and spirit. They can't be called the Rightful Caliphs.
