The first four Caliphs after the Prophet Muhammad are known as the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Rāshidūn); Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and 'Ali. Does this suggest, according to Sunni sources, that these men did not make mistakes in their administrations?
I have a question about Islamic history. The first four Caliphs after the Prophet Muhammad are known as the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Rāshidūn); Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and 'Ali. Does this suggest, according to Sunni sources, that these men did not make mistakes in their administrations?
According to Sunni sources, the first four Caliphs are considered to be the Rightly Guided Caliphs because they were chosen by a council of Muslims and were responsible for establishing and expanding the Islamic state. However, they were not considered to be infallible, and they are known to have made mistakes during their administrations.
