Bangladesh Khelafat Majlis is an Islamist political party in Bangladesh, established on December 8, 1989, through the merger of part of Bangladesh Khelafat Andolon and the Islami Jubo Shibir. The organization's primary aim is to establish a governance system in Bangladesh based on Islamic principles, particularly modeled on the Quran, Sunnah, and the precedents of the early Islamic Caliphates i.e. Rashidun Caliphate. It seeks to reform the country's socio-political structure to align with Islamic values, aiming for both material well-being and spiritual salvation.[1][2]
