What is the definition of the word Caliphate? You ask.
And ask, you might well, for Caliphate is a very interesting and important word, the definition for which many people do not know.
Well, I’m here to do something for which the internet is renowned. I am going to provide you with the answer to a question.
The definitions of the word Caliphate are as follows:
- Caliphate (noun) the era of Islam’s ascendancy from the death of Mohammed until the 13th century; some Moslems still maintain that the Moslem world must always have a calif as head of the community; “their goal was to reestablish the Caliphate”;
- caliphate – the jurisdiction of a caliph;
- caliphate – the office of a caliph.
Which leads us nicely to the question “What is a caliph?” wll, I’m going to do what the internet does even better than answering questions: leave you wanting to find something else out.
