The tallest building in the world known as the Burj Hkalifa has symbolic meaning to Muslims. I suppose it means something like Burgeoning Caliphate to westerners. It is no wonder that ISIS also swelled into prominence during the construction phase and opening of the tallest building.

Quoting from Islamic world.net on the meaning of khalifa obe finds 'KHALIFAH is an Arabic word literally meaning "one who replaces someone else who left or died" (English: caliph). In the context of Islam, however, the word acquires a narrower meaning. The Muslim Khalifa is the successor (in a line of successors) to Prophet Muhammad's position as the political, military, and administrative leader of the Muslims"
and
"Prophet Muhammad
said:"There will be Nabuwa with Rehma (prophethood with Mercy). The there will be Khilafah with Ba’yah (pledge). Then Allah will change it when He wishes. Then there will be Mulkan ‘Adoodan (Rule by force). Then Allah will change it when He wishes. Then there will be Mulkan Jabriya (against people’s will). Then Allah will change it when He wishes. Then there will be Khilafah Ala Minhajin Nabuwa (on the path of prophethood). The earth and the sky will bestow their treasures." (Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal, Courtesy of Khilafah.Org)"
