Hazrat Abu Bakr
ABU BAKR- He is Sayidna Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (The truthful) who was the first amongst the males to testify to the call of the Holy Prophet (Sallalaho Alaihi Wasallam) towards Islam and he responded without hesitation. He was the best of the Companions and was renowned for his sincerity and sacrifices in the cause of Allah Almighty. He was the nearest of any of the Companions to the Holy Prophet (Sallaho Alaihi Wasallam) and was his closest friend. He was born two years before the blessed birth of Our Beloved Prophet (Sallalaho Alaihi Wasallam) also known as the Year of the Elephant. He was the first KHALIF (leader of the Muslims) after the passing away of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (Sallalaho Alaihi Wasallam).

    The history of Islam can be divided into three periods, 1) the first four successors of Muhammad (632-661), 2) the Umayyads dynasty (661-750), and 3) the Abbasid dynasty (750-1258). The first four successors of Muhammad were Abu Bakr, ‘Umar, ‘Uthman, and ‘Ali. The first three successors made important contributions to the Islamic culture. Abu Bakr brought many tribes under Islamic rule and ended revolts (Clark 19). ‘Umar, who was initially against Islam and at one point set out to kill Muhammad, expanded Islam outside Arabia, established centers for the development of Islam, helped convert native elites, picked the date for the emigration from Mecca to Medina, and established a policy that accepted Christians and Jews (Clark 20).…

    Although there was no comparison, Abu Bakr was influential enough to save the Islamic tribe from completely falling apart after Muhammad’s death. He made people realize that Muhammad was not only preaching the power and truth of G-d, but that Muhammad himself was only the messenger of G-d. However people stopped focusing on G-d and only believed in Muhammad, which was a big problem. Abu Bakr was the caliph from 632-634 when he died during a war brief to reunite the Muslims took place. Following the death of Abu Bakr, Umar, a general in the war, took Abu Bakr’s place and ruled for ten years (634-644). While on his deathbed, Abu Bakr had chosen Umar to be the new caliph.…
