ABU BAKAR RAZI ALLAHU TAALA ANHU

Abu Bakr (RTA)



Abu Bakr Abdullah ibn Uthman Abi Quhafa (Arabic:  أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَبْدُ ٱللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ ابي قحافة‎ 573 CE – 23 August 634 CE) was the dearest friend and, through his little daughter Aisha,[1] a father-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Hime), just as the first of the Rashidun Caliphs.

Abu Bakr became one of the primary believers of Islam and widely contributed his abundance on the side of Muhammad's (Peace Be Upon Hime) work. He was among Muhammad's (Peace Be Upon Hime) best friends, going with him on his relocation to Medina and being available at some of his tactical contentions, like the battles of Badr and Uhud.

After Muhammad’s(Peace be Upon Him) passing, Islam began to spread rapidly.  A series of leaders, known as caliphs, became successors to Muhammad(Peace be Upon Him). This system of leadership, which was run by a Muslim ruler, became known as a caliphate.


The first caliph was Abu Bakr (RTA), Muhammad’s(Peace be Upon Him) father-in-law and close friend.
Abu Bakr (RTA) died about two years after he was elected and was succeeded in 634 by Caliph Umar (RTA), another father-in-law of Muhammad(Peace be Upon Him).

Islam is a Tolerant and Easy Religion

  Islam is the religion of mercy and kindness, the religion of tolerance and ease. Allaah has not burdened this ummah (community, nation) with more than it can bear. Whatever good it does, it will be rewarded for it, and whatever evil it does, it will have to bear the burden of that sin, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):  “Allaah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned” [al-Baqarah 2:286]  Allaah has spared the Muslims any difficulty or hardship in all that He has enjoined upon them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):  “He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion of Islam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship” [al-Hajj 22:78]  Every sin that a Muslim commits because he makes a mistake, or forgets, or is forced to do it, is forgiven by Allaah, as Allaah says ...

RIGHTs and DUTIEs of HUSBAND and WIFE

  Islam has enjoined upon the husband's duties towards his wife, and vice versa, and among these duties are some which are shared by both husband and wife.  We will mention – by the help of Allaah – some of the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah which have to do with the duties of the spouses towards one another, quoting also from the commentaries and views of the scholars.  Firstly:  The rights of the wife which are hers alone:  The wife has financial rights over her husband, which are the mahr (dowry), spending, and accommodation.  And she has non-financial rights, such as the fair division between co-wives, being treated in a decent and reasonable manner, and not being treated in a harmful way by her husband.  1.Financial rights  (a)The mahr (dowry).
