Prophet Muhammad (SAW) died in 632, when a great portion of Arabia had been converted to Islam. The death of Muhammad (SAW) confronted the infant Muslim community with something like constitutional crises. The Prophet had left no provision for succession, nor had he even created a council on the lines of the tribal Majlis which might have exercised authority during the crucial transitional period. The Holy Quran describes the position of the sovereign. The authority of the holy Prophet is supreme in all those matters as he was the head of the Islamic state. He was the sole processor of the both spiritual and secular authority and political and judicial powers. He was the Supreme Commander of all the army and forces.
