Detailed Solution

The Khalifa was the spiritual head of the Islamic world.
The name or title for "heir," "ruler," or "leader" is Caliph or Khalifa. It was commonly used to refer to the leader of the Caliphate, but it was also a title adopted by many Islamic religious groups. Many Muslims saw the Caliph of the Ottoman Empire as a spiritual leader, and his power was withdrawn after the loss of the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The Khilafat movement was an attempt by Muslims on the Indian subcontinent to restore the Khalifa as the spiritual head, who was seen as a legitimate political leader.
