The Caliph who appointed the shura Council to produce a successor after his death was
Answer Details
The Caliph who appointed the Shura Council to produce a successor after his death was Umar b. Khattab. He was the second Caliph of Islam and ruled from 634 to 644. During his reign, he realized the importance of having a system in place for selecting future leaders of the Muslim community. To ensure a smooth transition of power, he established the Shura Council, a group of trusted advisors who would consult with each other and the community to choose the next Caliph. This council helped establish a tradition of consensus-based decision making in the selection of future leaders of the Muslim community.
