Caliph - successor, as in successor to the prophet. The king&high priest supreme ruler of traditional Islamic societies.

Shariah - law, as in the religious law of Muhammad, treated as divine not a human institution.

Caliphate - rule of the entire Islamic world by a single king-priest according to Shariah.

It is the basic platform of the Muslim Brotherhood, also known as organized, political Islamic fundamentalism.

Think of it as the "Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer" slogan of 20th century radical Islam. (That's German for one state, one people, one ruler - the slogan of the Nazi party, which was entirely contemporary with the founding period of the Muslim Brotherhood. Same atmosphere and political ideas).
