Sunni Caliphate

The Sunni Caliphate was a Muslim political-religious system that emerged after the death of Prophet Muhammad, where a Caliph served as both the spiritual leader and political authority for Sunni Muslims. It aimed to unite the Muslim community under a leader chosen based on consensus or community agreement. The caliphate symbolized the application of Islamic principles in governance and was historically established through different dynasties, such as the Umayyads and Abbasids. While it held religious significance, it also functioned as a political state. Over time, the caliphate's influence waned, but it remains a symbol of Islamic unity and authority for many Sunnis.
