No it's not obligation ,it's was system of election the leader in deep past .Hey, everyone. Does Islam have to have a caliph/caliphate?
yes it is obligatory.Hey, everyone. Does Islam have to have a caliph/caliphate?
yes it is obligatory.
Why do they say that the current state is not a valid caliphate?I see the you are the only one who has so far said that a caliphate is necessary or obligatory. What then do you think about Islam in its current state in which most Muslims would say that there is no valid caliphate in existence?

Many muslims also accept and go for it. why do the other muslims not believe it is a valid caliphate?The only organization I know of that claims to be a caliphate is Islamic State, also known as ISIS. Most Muslims do not believe that it is a valid caliphate.

WHY?
Prophet Muhammad (saaw) said:Is the Caliphate a particularly Sunni concept?
I occasionally hear from people hoping for a Caliphate, or perhaps regreting that there is not one anymore. Any comments on why a Caliphate would be wanted?
what about you? are you?Are you an I S I S supporter?
what about you? are you?
If ISIS were a true muslim then I do support them. what about you?You answer my question first, if you wish, then I answer yours. I asked first, let's be fair now
Your question was what the sunni viewpoint on Caliphate concept is. And I proposed what prophet said.I'm afraid @use_your_brain 's reply in #11 above did not clarify my question. Unless it is meant that there is prophecy of an eventual, righteous Caliphate?
Most Muslims seem to feel little reason to hesitate in saying that ISIS are not true, good, proper Muslims.If ISIS were a true muslim then I do support them. what about you?
He isAre you an I S I S supporter?
Caliphate is the hidden concept in sunni community, since sunni is the community that suppose to accept prophet tradition (hadith).Actually, I asked if it is noticeably Sunni as a Muslim concept, as in, do Ahmadiya, Sufis and Shias have the concept as well?
Also, with all due respect, I do not find the answer clear by any means.
