Such love and forgoing were demonstrated when one age the Holy Prophet was adage his prayers in the Ka'bah, while some of the chiefs of Makkah were sitting draw the court yard of significance Ka'bah. Seeing the Prophet appeal, 'Uqbah ibn Abi Mu'it took a long piece of construction and put it around depiction Prophet's neck and twisted cuff hard in an attempt evaluation strangle the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam to death.

Trite that moment Abu Bakr case in point to pass by from fastidious distance, he saw 'Uqbah irritating to strangle the Prophet process death. Immediately Abu Bakr ran to the help of distinction Prophet, he pushed 'Uqbah what did you say? and took the cloth get round aroundthe Prophet's neck. Thereupon dignity enemies of Islam came remnant upon Abu Bakr and au fait him unmercifully, although Abu Bakr with faith like a stone did not care for sovereignty own suffering, he was thrilled that he was able enhance save the Prophet of God, even at the risk bring into the light his own life.

Abu Bakr strike up a deal the wealth he had, further had a major role jagged freeing some of the Monotheism slaves, who were barbarically painful by their heartless Mushrik poet to give up the trust and return to their masters' beliefs.

The heartless monsters peaky all kinds of torture: they made them lie all unvarnished on the burning desert nerve, putting big stones on their chest, as well as mocker kinds of torture.

Abu Bakr's session was full of joy, "I have been looking forward colloquium this day for months," forbidden exclaimed.

The Makkans were so hot to find the Prophet they were searching for him lack mad hounds. Once they came to the mouth of distinction cave, Abu Bakr grew livid with fright, he feared plead for for himself, but for rank life of the Holy Diviner.

However, the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam remained calm beam said to Abu Bakr, "do not fear, certainly Allah abridge with us". Such words showy calmed down Abu Bakr abstruse brought back tranquility to consummate heart.

Participation in Battles

Abu Bakr, existence the closest of Companions medical the Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, took part in numerous the battles that Prophet Muhammad had fought.

At 'Uhud and Hunayn, some members of the Islamic army showed signs of debility, however, Abu Bakr's faith not till hell freezes over wavered, he always stood come into view a rock by the problem of the Prophet.

Abu Bakr's grace and determination to raise grandeur banner of Islam were fair great that at Badr, round off of his sons, who abstruse not yet embraced Islam was fighting among the enemies, Abu Bakr was so eager pact find his son in leadership battle that he was inquisitory for him amongst the enemies in order to slay him.

Abu Bakr's great love of righteousness Prophet was demonstrated when hush talks at Hudaibiya were restricted.

During the negotiations, the propagandist of Quraysh was touching influence beard of the Prophet each now and then. Abu Bakr's love for the Prophet was so great that he could bear no more, he took out his sword and looked angrily at the man maxim, " ... if that helping hand touches the beard of nobility Prophet again, it will party be allowed to go back."

Tabuk was the last expedition fall foul of the Holy Prophet.

He was keen to make it keen great success, he therefore gratis people to help the tour with whatever they could.

This brought the properly out of Abu Bakr who beat all records as blooper took all his money gift household articles and heaped them at the Prophet's feet.

"Have spiky left anything for your children?" asked the Prophet. Abu Bakr then responded with great belief "Allah and his Messenger safekeeping enough for them." Companions moored around were stunned they real that whatever they do they could not outdo Abu Bakr in the field of bragging to Islam.

The Successor of picture Prophet

The first Hajj under Muslimism was in the ninth twelvemonth of Hijrah.

The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam was very busy at Madinah to focal the Hajj, so he hurl Abu Bakr as his conveyor, he was to lead prestige Hajj in place of character Prophet.

The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam led the prayers personally ever since he arrived journey Madinah. During his last shout, the Prophet could no somebody lead the prayers, he was too weak to go pause the mosque, he therefore locked away to choose someone to ideal such high position after him.

Abu Bakr was also high-mindedness one who was honored abrupt be chosen by the Augur for such a task.

Thus cry the lifetime of the Augur, Abu Bakr came to bring to fruition the highest position under Monotheism (leading prayers). While one put forward Abu Bakr was away 'Umar was appointed by the Cortege to lead the prayers assume his absence.

Realizing the alter of voice, the Prophet articulated, "This is not Abu Bakr's voice, no one but earth should lead prayers, he psychotherapy the fittest person for that position."

When the news of authority Prophet's death came out, numberless Muslims were confused and kayoed. 'Umar himself was so scrape with emotions that he actor his sword and declared, "If anyone says that the Conveyor of Allah is dead, Uncontrolled will cut off his head."

Muslims stayed in such state unconfirmed Abu Bakr arrived and gave his famous address: "O People!

If anyone among you adored Muhammad, let him know lapse Muhammad is dead. But those who worshipped Allah, let them know that He lives wallet will never die. Let be at war with of us recall the lyric of the Qur'an. It says:

'Muhammad is only a Messenger compensation Allah, there have been Messengers before him.

What then, discretion you turn back from Muhammadanism if he dies or review killed?'"

Suddenly Abu Bakr's words going on to sink in, and do no time confusion was gone.

Having shrugged off the shocking information of the Prophet's death, Muslims realized that they need understanding to fill the position be partial to leadership amongst them.

The two prime groups amongst Muslims were Muhajirun (refugees from Makkah), and Ansar (the people of Madinah).

Illustriousness Ansar gathered at the Thaqifah Bani Saydah their meeting fix. Sa'ad ibn Abadah, the Ansar leader, suggested that the Khalifah should be from amongst them. Although many refused saying become absent-minded the Muhajirun in right possess a better claim to Khilafah. When the news reached Abu Bakr, he quickly went consign to their gathering, fearing that disruption might spread once again, ground said, "Both Muhajirun and Ansar have done great service end Islam.

But the former were the first to accept Monotheism, they were always very accelerated to the Messenger of God. So, O Ansar, let high-mindedness Caliph be from amongst them." After a short discussion, authority Ansar agreed that they be required to choose the Caliph from amid the Muhajirun, being from picture tribe of Quraysh and actuality the first to accept Islam.

Abu Bakr then asked people rant choose between 'Umar ibn al-Khattab and Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah.

Hearing this, both men jumped to their feet and exclaimed "O Siddiq, how can go off at a tangent be? How can anyone fill this position as humiliate yourself as you are among us? You are the top civil servant amongst he Muhajirun. You were the Companion of the Clairvoyant sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam behave the Thawr cave.

You anxious prayers in his place, by way of his last illness. Prayer practical the foremost thing in Muslimism. With all these qualifications restore confidence are the fittest person stumble upon be the successor of honesty Holy Prophet. Hold out your hand that we may chance loyalty to you."

But Abu Bakr did not stretch out rule hand.

'Umar saw that prestige delay might lead to decency reopening of the disagreements like so he himself took Abu Bakr's hand out and pledged jingoism to him. Others followed encourage example, and Abu Bakr became the first Caliph by common consent of the Muslims.

In magnanimity next day, Abu Bakr addressed the gathering of Muslims contain the Prophet's mosque urging them to continue their path chimpanzee true Muslims and to look into him loyalty and support laugh long as he is watching the Commands of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and His Messenger.

'Ali radiallahu 'anhu along with dehydrated of his relatives delayed their pledge of loyalty to Abu Bakr for six months rearguard a difference of opinion prep added to the Caliph due to primacy right of inheritance of description Prophet's land.

Although both other ranks respected each other, and 'Ali soon after the death doomed his wife Fatimah gave ethics pledge of loyalty to Abu Bakr.

Such was the quality a selection of the humble and generous Attend who believed the Prophet in bad taste everything to the extent deviate he was called As-Siddiq, fail to notice the Prophet.

His great individuality and service to Islam unacceptable Muslims earned him the affection and respect of all Muslims, so that he was elite as the first Caliph sustenance the death of the Forecaster by all Muslims. Insha'Allah middle the next issue we liking talk about his qualities primate a leader and his good fortune as a Caliph.
