The Caliphate is not acquired through claims, but rather through the consensus of the people of authority (Ahl al-Hall wa al-’Aqd), or by appointment from the previous Caliph, or by usurpation and force, while emphasizing that its usurpation is illegitimate. What will happen in the future is from the Unseen, which only Allah knows.
