Khilafat-need to know more

Re: Khilafat-need to know more

@kakaballi

^ So, what is the point of making him Khalifa?

Anyways, I am not yet sure if anyone has made an effort to address the questions in OP. I would like to add:

1. Why is there a need for Khilafat?
2. Would the Khalifa be religious leader (like a pope) or political leader or both?
3. In case there is a conflict between what the Khalifa says and what my government says, whom should I obey?

I have limited knowledge of religious affairs but from what I know there doesn’t seem to be a prescription for a political government/political system in Quran. The institution of Khilafat was devised post Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)?

These have been addressed in my links - you are generally right … Number 3. Is a modern problem for the higher ups to solve. The claim to legitimacy resides more with King of Morocco than anyone else due to the lineage and their power being the longest. But that is not the solution either … The solution might actually be in something like democracy.
