The Muslim Rulers

Hazrat Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (R.A.) became the first caliph of the Muslims after the death of the Prophet (S.A.S). He was a close companion of the Prophet (S.A.S), and therefore he became the first adult Muslim to believe in the revelation. As a wealthy trader, he supported the mission of the Prophet (S.A.S) in the early years by freeing slaves who were mistreated by their masters for accepting Islam. He was given the title Al-Siddiq by the Prophet (S.A.S) for his truthfulness and love for Allah and His Messenger. This book is discussing the life of Abu Bakr (R.A) and his kingdom in detail.

This book is divided into three parts. The first part confers his life in Mecca. It goes into detail about his early life, his relationship with the Messenger of Allah, his conversion to Islam, and the persecution he faced after his conversion. The second part looks at his life in Medina after migration. It sheds light upon his contributions in Medina. He played an active role in military expeditions with the Prophet (S.A.S). The third and final part is about the Caliphate, which lasted for two years. Within a short span of two years, he was able to unify the Muslims and expand Islam to the furthest lands.
