The successors to Mohammed split into two major families, and contested to be his succors, launching war against each other, as persists to this very day. There were also sects within these two branches which further complicates the problems, rather similar to the splits in Christianity, though in very recent years, they have desisted (or forced to desist) from open conflict and violence.

How did the loss of the caliphate affect Islam?

The loss of the caliphate significantly altered the political and spiritual landscape of Islam, leading to the fragmentation of authority among various sects and states. It diminished the central leadership that had unified Muslims under a single political and religious system, giving rise to diverse interpretations of Islam and the emergence of different schools of thought. This decentralization also allowed for the growth of regional powers and movements, which sometimes led to conflicts and sectarian divisions that are still evident today. Overall, the disappearance of a unified caliphate contributed to a complex and multifaceted global Islamic identity.
