First Four Muslims
The Rashidun, which translates to "Rightly Guided" or "Perfect" in Arabic, refers to the initial four caliphs of the Islamic community. These figures are significant in Muslim history and are known as the orthodox or patriarchal caliphs. They are: Abū Bakr, who ruled from 632 to 634; ʿUmar, in power from 634 to 644; ʿUthmān, who reigned from 644 to 656; and ʿAlī, whose caliphate lasted from 656 to 661.
