How was Adam the Caliph of God? How does one become a Caliph of their Spiritual Mediator? Summary: - Adam was given a divine sub-spirit which is called ‘Khalifa (Caliph)’ in Suryani. Hence he was known as the Caliph of God and Caliph of Love. - To be known as anyone’s Caliph, you must have one of their sub-spirits in you. - David was the Caliph of Melody. God granted him a portion of his voice. His voice was so melodious that when he recited the Psalms of David, the birds and trees would bow in awe. - Imam Mehdi is the Last Caliph of God. According to a Prophetic Tradition, the Mehdi would have clouds over his head and the Gabriel would be announcing, ‘This is Mehdi, the Caliph of God. Follow him and obey him’.
