| | Caliph - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Caliph is the term or title for the Islamic leader of the Ummah, or community of Islam. | | | Caliphs were often also referred to as Amīr al-Mu'minīn (أمير المؤمنين) "Commander of the Faithful", or, more colloquially, leader of the Muslims. | | | None of the early caliphs claimed to receive divine revelations, as did Muhammad; none of them claimed to be a nabī, "a prophet" or a "rasul" or divine messenger. |

| | Catholic Answers Forums - Sunni view of Caliph Yazid? |
| | In Sunni Islam, the caliph should be the best Muslim in the ummah and should govern with consultation, so Mu'awyia's and Yazid's rule in the eyes of Sunni are against the principles of the faith, but they recognize that 'Ali held no special entitlement to rule except that he was chosen to by the ummah. | | | Because 'Ali Bin Abu Talib was the last caliph who was elected and governed by consultation of the Muslim ummah, as required by the Qur'an. | | | He's also seen as rightful caliph, and like his brother Hassan and his father 'Ali, he is divinely inspired, infallible and embodies the spirit of the Prophet (PBUH). |

| | Caliphs are central to the faith both as they are 1) the defining figures representing the coherence of the religious community and 2) as the community's leaders, they act, even in error, as its principle guide. | | | Originally the caliph was both head of state and ultimate source of religious law; the Sunni pattern represents the outcome of a conflict between the caliph and early scholars who, as spokesmen of the community, assumed religious leadership for themselves. | | | Hind and Crone build on this to assert that the transformation from the concept of sunna as `generally accepted practice' to the more stringent and dogmatically weighty sunna of the Prophet is an artifact of the struggle for religious legitimacy that occurred between the emerging, piety-minded culam' and the Umayyads. |

| | Caliph |
| | The King/Queen of England was head of the Church of England, while Muslims have no church for the Caliph to rule over and historically the power was distinct after the first 4 caliphs. | | | It should be taken in history that the Caliphate institute -which started in early Islamic history- ended with Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's reforms. | | | Thus a pan-Islamic governmental vision might (for instance) posit a federation of Muslim nations under a global Islamic authority, headed by a leader whose authority might be enhanced (though I doubt seriously that it would be sparked) by some kind of proclamation from the Turkish parliament. |

| | Al Qaeda’s stated goal—to reestablish the caliphate, the political leadership of worldwide Islam embodied first in the successors of the Prophet Mohammed and most recently in the four-century rule of the Ottoman dynasty—is pure, ahistorical fantasy. | | | Chances are Israel would not have existed, the oil wealth from Iraq would be spent wisely on infrastructure, and the Caliphate would probably become a unifying spiritual force for Muslims around the world directing them towards moderation. | | | The investiture of a Sovereign/Caliph as the supreme and ecumenical Islamic authority is likely to generate more dissent than unity in the Islamic world. |
