__The History of Caliphs__

==Back in the days, Muslims liked to have a certain leader after Muhammad died. But they had to be related to him. These leaders of the Muslim community are called __caliphs__. In Ar abic, caliph means successor. The Muslims knew that no one would be as good a leader as Muhammad, but let's be honest, what other choice did they have! There are 4 leaders that are called the __ Rightly Guided Caliphs __. The first of the caliphs were __Abu Bakr__. He was chosen because he was Muhammad's closest and most trusted friend. He was the protector of the Islamic faith, and ruler of the land that the Muslims owned. That was my project. I hope you enjoyed!! ==
