Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq The First Caliph

Abu Bakr Al-Seddeq remains the fuel of that torch which supplies us with faith and an example for Islam and Muslims.  His way of life was guided by the light of justice and faith in Allah   (S.W.T.) and His Messenger (S.A.W.). The battles that Abu Bakr fought against the polytheists and unbelievers were the fiercest and the most dangerous. Those battles, particularly the wars against apostasy, built a very strong and firm foundation for the spread of Islam. Had the apostates defeated the Muslims, Islam would have died in its infancy.
The victories won under the leadership of Abu Bakr as the first caliph of the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.) gave Islam the momentum to go forward into the neighbouring countries. Also,the pledge of allegiance given to him by the Muslims provided him with all the might and the authority to continue spreading the sublime message of Islam.
