What was the rule of the three rightly guided caliphs called?

The rule of the three rightly guided caliphs is often referred to as the period of the "Rashidun Caliphate." This era lasted from 632 to 661 CE and included the leadership of Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman, following the death of the Prophet Muhammad. The caliphs are considered "rightly guided" due to their adherence to Islamic principles and their efforts in expanding the Muslim community. The period is marked by significant political and military achievements as well as the establishment of key administrative practices in the early Islamic state.
