About this book

Dr. Ali Muhammad as-Sallabi is a Libyan historian known for his detailed biographies of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. This volume covers Abu Bakr as-Siddiq.

The book begins with Abu Bakr's life before Islam and his immediate acceptance of the message, then follows his role alongside the Prophet ﷺ in Makkah, his companionship during the Hijrah, and his contributions in Madinah. The second half covers his caliphate: the selection at Saqifah, the wars against apostasy, the first compilation of the Quran and the early expansion into Iraq and Syria.

It is a thorough study rich in lessons on leadership and faith.
