Khulafa-e-Rashideen (R.A)

The Companions of the Beloved Prophet (S.A.W) hold the highest status in all His (S.A.W)’s Ummah. It is the belief of the Ahle Sunnat Wal Jammat that the Great Caliphs (Khulafa-e-Rashideen (R.A) are superior to all other Sahabah Ikraam.

Khulafa-e-Rashideen means “the Rightly Guided”. They truly followed in the foot steps of Our Prophet (S.A.W) and became the successors after Him (S.A.W).
     
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) once said “Caliphate shall last for 30 years after me, and thereafter Kingship will be established”.

The Four main Caliphs (In Order of Caliphate) were: 

• Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) (For a period of about 2 years).
• Hazrat Umar-e-Farooque (R.A) (For a period of about 10 years).
• Hazrat Usman-e-Ghani (R.A) (For a period of about 12 years).
• Hazrat Moula Ali Murtaza (R.A).(For a period of about 6 years).
