CALIPH - Title of the leaders of the Muslim community after Muhammad's death. http://www.angelfire.com/az/rescon/MGCINDEX.html   (6163 words)      ISLAMIC CALIPHATE Caliph was the title taken by Abu Bakr, the father-in-law of Muhammad, when he succeeded him as leader of the Ummah, or community of Islam, in 632. The next three caliphs were all relatives of the prophet, but were succeeded by another household of the same Makkan tribe, a change not universally accepted, leading to the major division in Islam between the Sunnites (in the majority) and the Shiites (in the minority). The word "Caliph" came through French, which got it from Latin (calīpha), a Romanization of the Arabic word, Khalīfa (probably خليفة), literally "Successor of the Prophet." Khalīfa originates from the verb khalafa, meaning "to succeed" or "to be behind." Some Orientalists wrote it as Khalîf. http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/ISLAMIC+CALIPHATE   (1842 words)      Bin Ladin: The Man Who Would Be Mahdi - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2002 Caliph means "successor" to the Prophet Muhammad as political leader of the Islamic community, not as religious divine (although the title does carry a patina of religious legitimacy).

The eventual winners were the Damascus-based Umayyads, who defeated the shi‘at ‘Ali, or "faction of ‘Ali," a group which insisted that the caliph must be descended from the Prophet Muhammad through his cousin and son-in-law ‘Ali. http://www.meforum.org/article/159   (3252 words)      Royalty.nu - Royalty and Religion - The Caliphate, Fatimids, Aga Khan The History of Al-Tabari: The Waning of the Umayyad Caliphate by Al-Tabari, translated by Carole Hillenbrand.
