...Of course, daula is a concept centered on the caliphate or royal family that holds the ruling power, and does not correspond to the so-called "state" itself.

The reason why there was no specific term to describe the state itself in the Islamic world is that Muslims perceived the essence of the Islamic state as a collection of individual Muslims who recognize the authority of the caliph by oath (bay'a), that is, as the umma or jama'a.
