Abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate

إلغاء الخلافة

Ankara, Turkey

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk abolished the Ottoman Caliphate, sending the last caliph Abdulmejid II into exile. This left the Muslim world without a central religious-political authority for the first time in 1,300 years.

For the Prophetic era, see the Seerah timeline.
