The Prophet :saws: said: "This religion remains standing until there are t
welve vicegerents over you,
all of them agreeable to the nation, all of them
from Quraysh."
Sunan Abu Dawood
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: I heard Muhammad :saws: saying, "
There will be twelve Muslim rulers."
He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, "All of them (those rulers) will be from Quraish.
Sahih Bukhari

The
Scholars of Islam agree that so far there has been
4, max
5.
1. Abu Bakar(ra).
2. Umar(ra)
3. Uthman(ra)
4. Ali(ra)
5. Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz(ra), some of the scholars said that Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz might also be included among the twelve due to his righteous rule.
If we accept that so far there have been 5, that leaves us with
6 Caliphs remaining. That means, 6 Caliphs that will
rule over the whole of the Ummah, for this is a condition that is mentioned.
If we also include
Al-Mahdi, who will undoubtedly be among the Twelve, that still mean there will be
5 other Caliphs remaining.

Be Optimistic, brothers and sisters, this Ummah is not done yet!!
“The best of my ummah are the first and the last, and between them there will be some crookedness. Would that I could see my brethren.”
They said, “Are we not your brethren?” He said, “You are my companions.”
