What Happens When a Founder Dies?

The issue of what happens when a founder dies is something which is interesting across all religions. A founder usually carries a caritma in terms of their leadership that comes from that authority. On the other hand, we had an attempt to establish an institutional leadership based on how the society of the time came to decisions. I think that would be the case if it wasn't for bucker who did become the firest califph as, in his own sense, deeply spiritual and almost didn't want the vacancy even when the prophet was in his death bed.
