The following excerpt from the Quran, known as the 'The Istikhlaf Verse', forms the basis of the Quranic concept of Caliphate: "Allah (God) has promised to those among you who believe and do good deeds that He will surely make them Successors (Khalifas) in the earth, as He (God) made Successors (Khalifas) from among those who were before them; and that He will surely establish for them their religion which He has chosen for them; and that He will surely give them in exchange security and peace after their fear: They will worship Me, and they will not associate anything with Me.

The following Hadith from Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal prophesies two eras of Caliphate (both on the lines/precepts of Prophethood). Hadith ( ar الحديث, pl aḥadīth; lit. "narrative" are oral Traditions relating to the words and deeds of the Islamic Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal is the collection of Hadith collected by the famous Sunni Scholar Ibn Hanbal to whom the Hanbali "Hadhrat Huzaifa narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: Prophethood will remain among you as long as Allah wills. Then Caliphate (Khilafat) on the lines of Prophethood shall commence, and remain as long as Allah wills. Then corrupt/erosive monarchy would take place, and it will remain as long as Allah wills. After that, despotic kingship would emerge, and it will remain as long as Allah wills. Then, the Caliphate (Khilafat) shall come once again based on the precept of Prophethood. ”
In the above Hadith predicted what is yet to come after Mohamed (Peace be upon him). It is interesting that after Mohamed (SAW) passed away his prophesy was fulfilled. First there was the Rashidun (Guided ones) Caliphate followed by non shura (non democratic) the rest of the former hadith is explained by the following. Hisham ibn Urwa reported on the authority of Abu Saleh on the authority of Abu Hurairah that Muhammad said: Leaders will take charge of you after me, where the pious (one) will lead you with his piety and the impious (one) with his impiety, so only listen to them and obey them in everything which conforms with the truth (Islam). If they act rightly it is for your credit, and if they acted wrongly it is counted for you and against them.
After the Rashideen came an era of corrupt/erosive monarchy based on no shura (election) and it took place then was followed by spread of a new form of despotic kingship in the Dar al Islam. The house of divisions in Islam such as "Dar al-Islam" and "Dar al-Harb" does not appear in the Koran or the Hadith. Many scholars believe that this is what is currently happening and this might explain ahy many scholars call for reviving the Caliphate (Khilafat) back.

Many anarchist, Green, and Libertarain political theorists (such as green anarchist John Zerzan [5]) maintain that an anarchist world confederation is inevitable because after Peak Oil (expected to occur before 2010, and believed by some to have already occurred in 2005), there will not be adequate natural resources for any group to achieve world domination. John Zerzan (born 1943) is an American anarchist and primitivist Philosopher and author For the film see 2010 The Year We Make Contact. For the book see 2010 Odyssey Two.

Natural resources are naturally occurring substances that are considered valuable in their relatively unmodified ( natural) form [6] [16] Most anarchists believe that the Peak Oil crisis will result in the collapse of industrial civilization [17] [18]and thus the collapse of capitalism [19] (according to the Olduvai theory the collapse of industrial civilization will be virtually complete by 2030, when 70% of the world's oil supply will have been used up.
