Muhammad's successors, known as Caliphs or Khalifas, served as both religious and political leaders for Muslims. Muhammad was succeeded by four caliphs: Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman, and Ali. In less than a century, the Khalifas and their generals captured Iran, Syria, Egypt, Central Asia, North Africa, and Spain.
