Abu Bakr Quotes

Abū Bakr aṣ-Ṣiddīq ‘Abdallāh bin Abī Quḥāfah , popularly known as Abu Bakr , was a senior companion and—through his daughter Aisha—a father-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Abu Bakr became the first openly declared Muslim outside Muhammad's family. Abu Bakr served as a trusted advisor to Muhammad. During Muhammad's lifetime, he was involved in several campaigns and treaties.Shortly before Muhammad's death in 632, Abu Bakr was one of many who pledged allegiance to Ali ibn Abi Talib at the event of Ghadir Khumm. However, after Muhammad passed away, Abu Bakr and some others gathered at a place known as Saqifa, where Umar pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr.

Abu Bakr ruled over the Rashidun Caliphate from 632 to 634 CE when he became the first Muslim Caliph following Muhammad's death. As caliph, Abu Bakr succeeded to the political and administrative functions previously exercised by Muhammad. He was commonly known as The Truthful . Abu Bakr's reign lasted for 2 years, 2 months, 2 weeks and 1 day ending with his death after an illness.
