The greatness of the first khulafa' is highlighted in the book "The History of the Khalifahs" by Imam Jalaluddin al-Suyuti. However, it is also important to understand the greatness of the most recent khulafa', the Ottomans, to realize that the khalifate of Islam has endured until recent times. The book "Osmanli history, 1289-1922" by Professor Mehmet Maksudoglu is recommended to counter the false picture of decline in Islamic history. The great men in the book exemplify prophetic Islamic governance, which is different from modern statism.
