Abu Bakr As Siqqid رضى الله عنه

Most people have a best friend who they favor amongst all of the people. The best friend of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Muhammad was Abu Bakr As-Siddiq رضى الله عنه. He was the only person, other than the Prophet's own wife, who accepted Islam immediately and believed in Muhammad from the first movement that he announced his Prophethood. Abu Bakr always remained at the Prophet's side and he had no reservations about spending his wealth for the sake of Islam and the Muslims. The Prophet's Companions all recognized his superiority, yet he always remained humble and sincere towards all. This is the story of Abu Bakr and his rise to leadership of the Muslim Ummah.
