[PAR] [TLE] Caliphate [SEP] A caliphate (Arabic: خِلافة‎ ‎ "khilāfa") is a territory under the leadership of an Islamic steward known as a caliph ( , Arabic: خَليفة‎ ‎ "khalīfah ",    ), a person considered a religious successor to the Islamic prophet Muhammad (Muhammad ibn ʿAbdullāh) and a leader of the entire Muslim community.  Historically, the caliphates were polities based in Islam which developed into multi-ethnic trans-national empires.  During the medieval period, three major caliphates existed: the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661), the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750) and the Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258).  The fourth major caliphate, the Ottoman Caliphate, established by the Ottoman Empire in 1517, was a manifestation whereby the Ottoman rulers claimed caliphal authority.  During the history of Islam, several other Muslim states, almost all of them hereditary monarchies, have claimed to be caliphates. [PAR] [TLE] Bayt al-mal [SEP] Bayt al-mal (بيت المال ) is an Arabic term that is translated as "House of money" or "House of Wealth."  Historically, it was a financial institution responsible for the administration of taxes in Islamic states, particularly in the early Islamic Caliphate.  It served as a royal treasury for the caliphs and sultans, managing personal finances and government expenditures.  Further, it administered distributions of zakat revenues for public works.  Modern Islamic economists deem the institutional framework appropriate for contemporary Islamic societies.
