Abu baker was the second person to accept Islam. He freed many slave for the sake of Islam and he also face persecution from his clan banu taym for the reason that he accepted Islam. he was with Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H) in even in every difficult days and also save him from the persecution of quraish. He was the first to join Prophet in battle of uhud. In battle of trench he helped in digging trench. He was also present during treaty of hudabya and fully supported on Prophet (P.B.U.H). Because of him Islam got survived because he remain steadfast and tackle all the problem calmly and he was able to suppress the rebellion with in less time during his region Holy Quran was compiled if he would have not taken this step of saving Quran we Muslim would have lost it. During his region war with Persian and Byzantine was started and was completed during Hazrat Umar khilafat period.

Hazrat Abu Bakar's (RAU) services are uncountable.

Hazrat Abu Bakar (RAU) was the FIRST free man who embraced Islam without asking any question or raising any doubt. Since his first day till his last day he stood by the Holy Prophet (SAW) through thick and thin. He is the Only blessed Muslim who has been given the title of 'Friend in the Cave' by Almighty Allah. He followed and loved the Holy Prophet (SAW) from the depths of his heart as no one else ever has. He surpassed in his love for the Holy Prophet (SAW) and Islam.

He is rightly considered the Saviour of Islam as at the sudden and unexpected passing away of the Holy prophet (SAW), it was he who amicably resolved the question of Caliphate that rose between the Ansaar (Helpers) and the Muhajreen (people who migrated from Makka to Madina).

Soon after, many tribes refused to pay Zakat. Some False people claimed prophet-hood. These were extremely painful days for Islam. It was this dauntless Rightful Caliph of Rasool (SAW) who fought against all these heavy odds and saved Islam.

Sevices of Hazrat Abu Bakr

The services of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RAU) are unique, matchless and surpassing all the other Companions (RAU). Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RAU) is the most exalted man after the Prophets (May peace be upon them all). The following verse from the holy Qur'an stands witness to this fact:

Sura Taubah: Para 10. Ayat No. 40. This verse (Ayat) was revealed in the background of Ghuzwah-i-Tabuk which was a point of Test and turmoil for the Muslims. The weather was extremely hot and the crop of Dates was ready for harvesting. Seeing the reluctance of a few persons, Almighty Allah Jabbar reminded the Muslims the time when He helped His Prophet (SAW) in his utter adversity and helplessness.

1. Translation: "If you don't help him (the prophet), (no matter), Allah Almighty is Himself his Helper. He helped him (at that time) when the Unbelievers drove him out (of Makka). (At that time) He had only one companion (Abu Bakr). (When) they two were in the Cave (Thoar), and he consoled his companion, "Don't be afraid, for Allah is with us (both)." Then Allah sent his peace upon them and helped them with forces which you couldn't see, and humbled the words of the Unbelievers. Allah's Word is exalted to the Highest, for Allah is exalted in Might, (He is) Wise."

2. At this Testing occasion- Ghuzwah Tabuk, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RAU) collected all his belongings and placed them at the sacred feet of the holy Prophet (SAW). When asked by the Prophet (SAW) what he had left at home, he replied, The Love of Almighty Allah and Rasool-i-Karim (SAW)"

3. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RAU) was Second of the Two in the Cave of Thoar. Thus he earned the Title: The Second of the Two.

4. Title of Siddique: He earned this Title when he testified the claim of the holy Prophet (SAW) about his Journey to Masjid-i-Aqsa in Jerusalem.

5. His bravery, steadfastness, devotion to Islam, his Love for the holy Prophet (SAW), his sacrifice for Islam, his life's aim, everything he possessed was dedicated to the service of Islam.

6. His love for the holy Prophet (SAW) was so profound that he gave his daughter Hazrat Ayesha (RAU) into the marriage of the Prophet (SAW) when he was extremely grieved and felt lonely after the death of Hazrat Khudeeja (RAU)

7. He stood with the Prophet (SAW) through thick and thin, during war and peace.

8. He led the Prayer Class during the last days of the Prophet (SAW). It was a clear indication that he should be chosen as the successor to the Prophet (SAW)

9. He kept his wits at the death of the Prophet (SAW) when even Hazrat Umar (RAU) was so grieved that he could not control himself.

10. He was chosen the Caliph of Rasool (SAW). He followed the foot-steps of the Prophet (SAW) in letter and spirit.

11. He fought bravely against the false claimers of prophet-hood and rooted them out.

12. He also fought against the people who refused to pay Zakat to the centre.

13. He consolidated the Muslim state on firm bases.

14. He formed a committee to collect and compile the holy Qur'an.

15. He conquered large parts of Iraq and Syria.

16. He was the First grown up man who accepted Islam without any objection or doubt.

17. His wisdom, dignity, devotion, integrity, honesty, sincerity, bravery, steadfastness, care and compassion for the poor and needy,… all his qualities of head and heart and services to Islam are matchless.

18. He is the only holy Companion of the beloved Prophet (SAW) whose four generations enjoyed Companionship- His father, he himself, his children, his grandchildren were Companions (RAU).

19. Our beloved Prophet (SAW) considered him the best among his Companions.

20. He remained the fast friend and companion of the Holy Prophet (SAW) and is buried in his side.

Hazrat abu bakr?

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (radi Allahu anhu's) real name was Abdullah, and he was given the title of "As Siddique" or"Testifier to the Truth." His father, 'Uthman, was known as Abu Quhafah and his mother, Salma, was known as Ummul Khair. He was two and a half years younger than Sayyiduna Rasulullah (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam).Abu Bakr (R.A.) the First Among Men to Enter IslamAbu Bakr was always a very close Companion of the Holy Prophet, he knew him better than any other man. He knew how honest and upright the Prophet was. Such knowledge of the Prophet made Abu Bakr be the first man to follow the Message of Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. He was indeed the first adult male to accept Islam.The Holy Prophet told Abu Bakr what had happened at Mount Hira', he told him that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has revealed to him and made him His Messenger. When Abu Bakr heard this from the prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, he did not stop to think, he at once became a Muslim. He submitted to Islam with such determination that once the Holy Prophet himself remarked, "I called people to Islam, everybody thought over it, at least for a while, but this was not the case with Abu Bakr, the moment I put Islam before him, he accepted it without any hesitation". He was titled As-Siddiq by the Prophet because his faith was too strong to be shaken by anything.In fact, Abu Bakr was more than a great believer, as soon as he became a Muslim, he immediately began to preach Islam to others. Among those who accepted Abu Bakr's invitation to Islam were; Uthman, Zubair, Talha, Abdul Rahman bin Auf, Saadi bin Waqqas and others who later became the pillars of Islam.Abu Bakr's love of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was so great that he was willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of protecting and comforting the Prophet saw. Such love and sacrifice were demonstrated when one day the Holy Prophet was saying his prayers in the Ka'ba, while some of the chiefs of Mecca were sitting in the court yard of the Ka'ba. Seeing the Prophet praying, 'Uqbah bin Abi Mu'eet took a long piece of cloths and put it around the Prophet's neck and twisted it hard in an attempt to strangle the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam to death. At that moment Abu Bakr happened to pass by from a distance, he saw 'Uqbah trying to strangle the Prophet to death. Immediately Abu Bakr ran to the help of the Prophet, he pushed 'Uqbah aside and took the cloth from around the Prophet's neck. Thereupon the enemies of Islâm came down upon Abu Bakr and beat him unnerafully, although Abu Bakr with faith like a rock did not care for his own suffering, he was glad that he was able to save the Prophet of Allah, even at the risk of his own life.Abu Bakr with the wealth he had, also had a major role in freeing some of the Muslim slaves, who were barbarically tortured by their heartless Mushrik masters to give up the Faith and return to their masters' beliefs. The heartless monsters tried all kinds of torture: they made them lie all naked on the burning desert sand, putting big stones on their chest, as well as other kinds of torture. Here Abu Bakr's wealth came to the rescue, as he bought the poor helpless slaves from their inhuman masters and set them free, Bilal Al-Habashi, the slave of Umayya bin Khalaf, was among those who were set free by Abu Bakr. Bilal became afterwards the Mu'azzin at the Prophet's mosque.
