Khilafah, or caliphate, refers to an Islamic form of governance where a caliph serves as the political and spiritual leader of the Muslim community, or ummah. The caliph is seen as a successor to the Prophet Muhammad, tasked with upholding Islamic law (Sharia) and guiding the faithful. Historically, the caliphate has played a significant role in the political and cultural development of the Muslim world, though the concept has evolved and been interpreted in various ways over time. The last widely recognized caliphate, the Ottoman Empire, was abolished in 1924.
