Share: Abu Bakr Siddique (RA) - Part 1 A glimpse into the life of Sayyidina Abu Bakr Siddique (RA) - The first of the rightly guided Khulafaa Sayyidina Abu Bakr (RA)  never indulged in idol worship nor consumed wine before and after embracing Islaam. 'Ibn Asaakir' Sayyidina Abu Bakr (RA) was the bosom friend of Rasulullaah (SAW) since childhood. 'Kanzul Ummaal' Sayyidina Abu Bakr (RA) was the first adult male to embrace Islaam. 'Fathul Baarie' The following persons from the forerunners of the Muhaajireen embraced Islaam through his efforts; ('Siyarus Sahabah') Hadhrat Uthmaan bin Affaan (RA) Hadhrat Sa'ad bin Abi Waqqaas (RA) Hadhrat Abu Ubaidah (RA) Hadhrat Zubair bin Awwaam (RA) Hadhrat Talha bin Ubaidullah (RA) Hadhrat Abdur Rahmaan bin Auf (RA) Hadhrat Abu Salamah (RA) Hadhrat Uthmaan bin Math'oon (RA) Hadhrat Khaalid bin Sa'eed (RA) He would purchase and set free Muslim slaves, who were being persecuted, amongst whom were Hadhrat Bilaal (RA) and Hadhrat Aamir bin Fuhairah (RA) . 'Ibn Asaakir' In the period before Hijrat Sayyidina Abu Bakr (RA) spent 35000 Dinaars (gold coins) on the welfare of the Muslims. 'Khulafa-ur Raashideen' Sayyidina Abu Bakr (RA)  defended Rasulullaah (SAW) from the assaults of the Mushrikeen. 'Bukhaari' His recitation of the Quraan would soften the hearts of others and inspire them to embrace Islaam. Ibid Rasulullaah (RA) asked Sayyidina Abu Bakr  (RA) to accompany him on Hijrat and Sayyidina Abu Bakr (RA) arranged the necessary transport and provisions. Ibid During Hijrat, they took refuge in the cave of Thowr where the following verses were revealed which indicate his lofty status. "He was the second of the two (the other being his best friend Abu Bakr  (RA)) when they were (hiding from the Kuffaar) in the cave (outside Makkah) and he (Rasulullaah (SAW)) told his COMPANION (Abu Bakr (RA) ) (when the Kuffaar were on the verge of capturing them) "Do not grieve (do not fear for my safety). Verily Allaah is with US (and He will protect us from the Kuffaar)." So Allaah caused His tranquillity (serenity, mercy and peace) to descend on him and assisted him (on various occasions)  with an army (of angels and other creation) that you had not seen."
