Successor of Muhammad
Khalifa or Khalifah (Arabic: خليفة, romanized: Khalīfa; commonly "caliph" in English) is an Islamic title which literally means "successor" or "deputy of the God". It most commonly refers to the leader of a caliphate, but can also be used as a title among various Islamic religious groups and others. There were four Rashidun caliphs after Muhammad died, beginning with Abu Bakr. The Khilafah (or Caliphate) was then contested and gave rise to the eventual division of Islam into two sects, the Sunni and the Shi'a, who interpret the word Khalifa in differently nuanced ways.
