Prince of Believers

Explanation:
price of belivers already came to existance in some other trusted translations like this :''''
the Islamic Caliphate state became divided into two states: one in Iraq, with Ali, the Prince of Believers, the Caliph, being of the kin of Prophet Muhammad, (Prayers of God be upon him, and HIS Mercy and Blessings), and one in Syria, the Umayyad state, the first seed to the secular state which separated the state from religion, taking another path in life… luxury, power, some leisurely few in high palaces, and far- away people whose word couldn't reach the ruling faction… I think it was the seed of the dictator, unjust, Arabic state.
