Pictured above is the last caliph Sultan Abdülmecid Efendi on his way to Friday prayers, 1923.
My name is Abdul Malik and I am a Sunni Muslim who follows the Hanafi madhhab (school of jurisprudence). I have a degree in theology from the University of Birmingham. I have worked as a teacher, journalist, project manager, interpreter, shop assistant and security guard.
This blog will present mainstream Islamic views on the Caliphate, with a focus on recognised classical scholars. Too much of the present day narrative on this subject is voiced by extremist groups like Al-Qaeda and Isis. We should not allow them to hijack this subject. An understanding of the importance of the Caliphate is vital for all Muslims, especially at a time when it does not exist in the Muslim world. Please tell others about this blog and feel free to leave comments.
Aselam Wealeykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
May Allah reward you for your effort and grant you what you desire(everything kheyr) and make it all for something good ameen
To follow the commands of Allah the most merciful is paramount for any Muslim.
