The Four Rightly Guided Caliphs

The Four Rightly Guided Caliphs were the first leaders of the Islamic community after Prophet Muhammad's death, chosen for their piety and commitment to Islamic principles. They are Abu Bakr, Umar ibn al-Khattab, Uthman ibn Affan, and Ali ibn Abi Talib. Each played a vital role in expanding and stabilizing the Islamic empire while striving to follow Muhammad’s teachings. Their leadership is often viewed as a model of justice and morality, guiding Muslims in governance and community responsibilities. Their era, known as the Rashidun Caliphate, is considered a golden age of Basb and righteous governance in Islamic history.
