Caliphate | MCQs

Explanation

Al-Khulafa Al-Rashidun (الخلفاء الراشدون) is the Islamic term for the "Rightly Guided Caliphs", who were the first four caliphs in Islamic history.

They are considered to be the most righteous and virtuous leaders in Islamic history, and their reign is often referred to as the "Golden Age" of Islam.

The four Rightly Guided Caliphs are:

• Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (632-634 CE)
• Umar ibn al-Khattab (634-644 CE)
• Uthman ibn Affan (644-656 CE)
• Ali ibn Abi Talib (656-661 CE)

Explanation

The Rashidun Caliphate ended with the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali (RA), the fourth caliph, in 661 CE.

He was the last of the rightly guided caliphs.

After his death marked the beginning of the Umayyad Caliphate, which was established by Muawiyah.
