About List of caliphs in brief
After the death of the prophet Muhammad in 632, a succession crisis arose as Muhammad had not left a generally acknowledged heir. Abu Bakr, a prominent companion of Muhammad, addressed that an attempt to elect a leader outside of Muhammad’s tribe, the Quraysh, would likely result in dissension in the community. During the later period of Abbasid rule, Muslim rulers began using other titles, such as Sultan. The Office of the Ottoman Caliphate was transferred to the Grand National Assembly of Turkey which dissolved the office on March 3, 1924. A last attempt at restoring the caliphical caliphate was made by Hussein bin Ali, King of Hejaz and Sharif of Mecca, who assumed the title on March 11, 1924, when he passed to his son `Ali al-Ali.
Since the dissolution of the. Ottoman Empire, there has been no single recognized, single Caliph. Caliphates were not fully attempted to be established across the Indian subcontinent. However, under the sharia based reigns of Sunni emperors such as Alauddin Khalji, Mughal Empire’s Aurangzeb, and Mysore’s rulers Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, absolute forms of caliphates appeared. These largely impacted the French-Italian emperor Napoleone Bonaparte and soldiers of the British Empire.
