It may be useful to recall that such radical perceptions of the term float mostly in the realm of media coverage and are far removed from the actual historical reality of the achievements when a caliphate existed in the medieval period. If we take a longer view of the influence of the office of the caliphate on changes in Islamic society, it may be worth noting that most of the dramatic social and legal reforms instituted by, for instance, the Ottomans in the 19th century were only feasible because of the ability of the sultan to posture as caliph. The Gulhane Reform of 1839 which established the equality of all subjects of the empire before the law, the reforms of 1856 which eliminated social distinctions based on religion, the abolition of slavery in 1857, and the suspension of the traditional penalties of Islamic law in 1858 would all have been inconceivable without the clout that the umbrella of the caliphate afforded to the office of the reforming monarch.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=The+Abbasid+Caliphate%3A+A+History&rft.place=Cambridge+and+New+York&rft.pages=284-285&rft.pub=Cambridge+University+Press&rft.date=2021&rft.isbn=978-1-107-18324-7&rft.aulast=El-Hibri&rft.aufirst=Tayeb&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DFTMiEAAAQBAJ&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ACaliphate" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-4"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-4">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFAl-RasheedKerstenShterin2012" class="citation book cs1">Al-Rasheed, Madawi; Kersten, Carool; Shterin, Marat (2012). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://books.google.com/books?id=EAMqBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA3"><i>Demystifying the Caliphate: Historical Memory and Contemporary Contexts</i></a>.

[...] The emergence of a culture of books is closely tied to cultural dispositions toward literacy in Islamic societies. Muslim young men were encouraged to memorise the Qur'an as part of their transition to adulthood, and while most presumably did not (though little is known about literacy levels in pre-Mongol Muslim societies), others did. Types of literacy in any event varied, as Nelly Hanna has recently suggested, and are best studied as part of the complex social dynamics and contexts of individual Muslim societies. The need to conform commercial contracts and business arrangements to <a href="/wiki/Sharia" title="Sharia">Islamic law</a> provided a further impetus for literacy, especially likely in commercial centers. Scholars often engaged in commercial activity and craftsmen or tradesmen often spent time studying in madrasas. The connection between what <a href="/wiki/Brian_Street" title="Brian Street">Brian Street</a> has called "maktab literacy" and commercial literacy was real and exerted a steady pressure on individuals to upgrade their reading skills.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=article&rft.jtitle=Journal+of+World+History&rft.atitle=Islam+at+the+Center%3A+Technological+Complexes+and+the+Roots+of+Modernity&rft.volume=20&rft.issue=2&rft.pages=165-186+178&rft.date=2009-06&rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1353%2Fjwh.0.0045&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A143484233%23id-name%3DS2CID&rft.aulast=Burke&rft.aufirst=Edmund&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ACaliphate" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> </ol></div></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sources">Sources</h3></div> <ul><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFArnold1993" class="citation book cs1">Arnold, T.
