Obama has begun to build his “house” of reps. November 5th I kept hearing “kahlifa” in my spirit. I ignored it the first few times as I didn’t think it was a word.
A caliphate (Arabic: خِلافة khilāfah) is a state under the leadership of an Islamic steward with the title of caliph (/ˈkælɪf, ˈkeɪ-/; Arabic: خَليفة khalīfah,
a person considered a religious successor to the Islamic prophet Muhammad and a leader of the entire ummah (community).[1] Historically, the caliphates were polities based in Islam which developed into multi-ethnic trans-national empires
The Sunni branch of Islam stipulates that, as a head of state, a caliph may come to power in one of four ways: either through an election, through nomination, through a selection by a committee, or by force.
Followers of Shia Islam, however, believe a caliph should be an Imam chosen by God from the Ahl al-Bayt (the “Family of the House”, referring to Muhammad’s family).
