===Religion===
{{Expand section|date=August 2007}}

The state religion was [[Islam]]. The non-Muslim people were nominally allowed to practice whichever religion they wanted to follow. The [[Islamic Law|Sharia Law]] was exercised by the state, and nominally extended only to Muslims, but in reality had jurisdiction over non-Muslims who had commit offenses against the Muslim community.

[[File:Quran of Caliph Uthman reign-mohammad adil rais.JPG|thumb|right|This copy of the Qur'ān is believed to be the oldest one, compiled during Caliph Uthman's reign.]]
Islam was the guiding force of the Caliphate. Any act of state was first to be approved by the Qur'ān and the Traditions of Prophet Muhammed. If there were no such guidelines available, then wisdom or Hikmat was used, after which if the act would go against the established principals, norms, system etc., it was not carried on with.
