Only the first Four Caliphs are called the Rightly Guided Caliphs because they were the most near ones and loved ones of the Holy Prophet SAW. They ruled according to the teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah.

Answer 1 (Shia view)

True is that God selected Ali a.s. as Caliph but those 3 could get the power illegitimately by political methods. Quran says only God has the right to appoint his Caliph (representative of God on earth). but the true can not be handled by Sunni Muslims.

Did the rightly guided caliphs expand their empire?

It depends on the Rightly-Guided Caliph in question.Abu Bakr and 'Ali (first and fourth caliphs) dealt with internal civil wars, so they were not primarily responsible for the expansion of the Islamic Caliphate. However, 'Omar and 'Othman (second and third caliphs) did fight numerous expansionary wars, throughout the Levant, Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt.

What was the capital of the Rightly-Guided Caliphate?

The capital of the Rightly-Guided Caliphate was MEDINAduring the reigns of Abu Bakr, 'Omar, and 'Othman. They used the infrastructure left over from when Muhammad had ruled the Islamic Polity from Medina. However, when 'Ali took power, he felt that he needed to put his capital in the Upper Middle East, so he moved it to KUFA. After 'Ali's death, the Rightly-Guided Caliphate was abolished by the Umayyads.

And so is also called the savior of Islam. Hazrat Usman (RA) got the Quran translated into the Quraysh dialect.


What role did religion in the development of an Islamic state?

Answer 1Islamic religion was very required to do it like natural so they went to Islam.Answer 2Islamic Law was fundamental in developing the legal structure of the Islamic State. Islamic Law was determined by the clerics of Islam who interpreted the Qur'an. Therefore the entire nature of the Islamic States was predicated on the religion of Islam. However, after the Rightly-Guided Caliphs, the successive Caliphs (rulers of the Islamic Empires) were so immoral that the Islamic clergy separated from the state structure and became quasi-independent. Religion still played a critical role in determining law and societal organization, but was not in complete control.
