Is the weakness of Muslims due to the absence of a single caliph?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that some people claim that the reason for the weakness of Muslims these days is that they do not have a caliph. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
They have a caliph. Every Islamic state has an imam who is the caliph for them. It is not obligatory that the caliph be one person for all the regions of the world. If that were to happen, that would be fine, but it has not happened, and it is not obligatory. Since the fall of the Abbasid state, the Muslims have been in states with kings and princes, and they did not criticize this. They did not criticize this. This is what the Muslims have accepted, and they did not criticize it. Yes.
