Khilafah

Khilafah, or Caliphate, is a system of governance in Islam where a leader, called a Caliph, is responsible for guiding the Muslim community according to Islamic principles. It combines political authority with religious leadership, aiming to unify Muslims under a shared set of values and laws. Historically, Khilafah has been seen as a continuation of the leadership of the Prophet Muhammad, serving as a political and spiritual authority. Its importance lies in maintaining justice, social cohesion, and implementing Islamic law, though interpretations and practices have varied across different times and regions.
