Caliphate Theory is a normative-political theory within Islamic governance studies that specifies the principles, legitimacy criteria, and institutional structure of the caliphate as the ideal form of Islamic political authority, distinguishing it from other models of Muslim leadership by emphasizing succession to the Prophet Muhammad through religious, legal, and communal consensus frameworks.
