INTRODUCTION

Islam emerged strong with the movement of prophet Muhammad from  Mecca to Yathrib now called Medina but became pronounce and spread to Asia axis , Europe and Africa after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (S) and the emergence of the caliphate. The caliphs who took over the helm of affairs work enormously to lay the structures of modern Islam and also jealously guided the religion from cracking. The crack in it wheel of progress came as a result of power struggle between the Ansari, Muhajirun, the relatives of the prophets and the Ummayyad but these was amicable brought under control through the wisdom and spiritual inclination of the caliphs.

The Caliphs from Abu-Bakr Sadiq (632-634) to Ali bn Talib (656-661) rightly worked with the Prophet from day one of his calling while the likes of Caliph Umar and Uthman later joined the calling of one God. The calling came at a time where 360 gods was highly pronounced and worshipped in Mecca. Their fellowship and work with the Prophet made them inclined to the call. This made them to know the Nitti gritty of the faith. The guardian they received from the Prophet been closest associate to him made them to be called the rightly guided. That is to say, they have been guided by the teaching of the Prophet and the Holy Qur’an without deviation.

Caliph is a person who is considered as the religious successor of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and the entire Muslim community. A Caliph job was to provide Muslims with the most desired leadership according to the commandment of Allah almighty and Prophets Muhammad. Those Caliphs who truly followed the Prophets (PBUH) footsteps are called the rightly guided caliphs Arabically, Alkhulata ur Rashidun. The first four caliphs are Abu-Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali. These four Caliphs lived simple and righteous lives and strove hard for the religion of Allah (SWT).

A COMPARATIVE OF IDEAL OF PLATO AND ARISTOTLE TO THE 4TH REPUBLIC OF NIGERIAN POLITICS
