Caliph

In the communities of Islam, known as the Ummah, the term used for their religious leader is "Caliph". It is an Anglicized/Latinized version of the Arabic word Khalīfah, which means "successor to Muhammad". The Caliph has often been referred to as Ameer al-Mumineen, or "Prince of the Faithful". The title has been defunct since the abolition of the Ottoman Sultanate in 1924.
