3 00:00:46,345 --> 00:00:53,939 The Greatest Men of Islam
4 00:00:58,459 --> 00:01:03,485 Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him) Part 2
5 00:01:12,090 --> 00:01:20,841 Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (May Allah be pleased with him)
6 00:01:20,987 --> 00:01:28,203 Cave of Thawr Muhammad (PBUH) Mashallah Tabarakallah.
7 00:01:29,982 --> 00:01:33,220 The Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) Hijra
8 00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:36,726 from Mecca to Medina
9 00:01:36,726 --> 00:01:43,608 has changed Muslims lives radically.
10 00:01:43,608 --> 00:01:47,284 The Prophet (PBUH) and his companions started
11 00:01:47,284 --> 00:01:49,981 to establish a nation
12 00:01:49,981 --> 00:01:56,413 that will soon rule over the land
13 00:01:56,413 --> 00:02:00,612 and topple the great empires that dominated
14 00:02:00,612 --> 00:02:02,971 before the advent of Islam.
15 00:02:03,274 --> 00:02:05,412 Allah is the predominant.
16 00:02:05,861 --> 00:02:10,709 During the the lifetime of the Prophet's Muhammad in Medina,
17 00:02:10,709 --> 00:02:16,007 Abu Bakr as-Siddiq was proven day after day
18 00:02:16,007 --> 00:02:19,421 to be his Caliph for this new nation.
19 00:02:19,421 --> 00:02:25,198 That nation had to defend itself by fighting many battles against
20 00:02:25,198 --> 00:02:29,567 the enemies who didn't wish for it to be powerful.
21 00:02:29,567 --> 00:02:34,268 Therefore, the Prophet (PBUH), Abu Bakr and the companions
22 00:02:34,268 --> 00:02:39,057 were always leading the major battles including
23 00:02:39,057 --> 00:02:41,569 the conquest fo Mecca.
24 00:02:41,569 --> 00:02:46,110 However, Abu Bakr's character didn't show up clearly
25 00:02:46,110 --> 00:02:49,293 till hardships reared up.
26 00:02:49,293 --> 00:02:54,019 After the Prophet's death,
27 00:02:54,019 --> 00:02:58,232 even the senior companions were at loss on what to do.
28 00:02:58,232 --> 00:03:04,052 Only Abu Bakr remained self-composed and fully in charge.
29 00:03:04,052 --> 00:03:08,009 However, his kind heart and calmness didn't prevent him
30 00:03:08,009 --> 00:03:11,562 from declaring the Wars of Apostasy.
31 00:03:11,562 --> 00:03:16,399 Despite the incidents that Muslims were going through,
32 00:03:16,399 --> 00:03:21,591 As-siddiq decided to wage the war.
33 00:03:21,591 --> 00:03:26,096 Otherwise, only Allah knows what would have happened to Muslims.
34 00:03:27,676 --> 00:03:32,690 Abu Bakr never missed a battle with the Prophet (PBUH),
35 00:03:32,690 --> 00:03:37,421 and he even leaded some battles himself.
36 00:03:37,421 --> 00:03:43,584 He was also one of the companions who stood firm at battles like Uhud and Hunayn.
37 00:03:43,584 --> 00:03:49,213 Battles that threatened the existance of Islam and the idea of Jihad.
38 00:03:49,213 --> 00:03:52,941 Abu Bakr played a special role at them:
39 00:03:52,941 --> 00:03:56,413 He was the head of the army at the battle
40 00:03:56,413 --> 00:04:00,136 of Khaybar for the first two days and at the 3rd day
41 00:04:00,136 --> 00:04:04,033 victory was finally achieved by Ali ibn Abi Talib.
42 00:04:04,033 --> 00:04:06,866 Besides, As-Siddiq went with
43 00:04:06,866 --> 00:04:11,038 the highest contribution at the battle of Tabouk.
44 00:04:11,038 --> 00:04:15,461 His stance at the battle of Badr was well-known and renowned.
45 00:04:15,461 --> 00:04:20,910 When the Prophet (PBUH) consulted his companions before Badr battle
46 00:04:20,910 --> 00:04:26,184 and asked: "What is your view in the matter? " Abu Bakr was the first
47 00:04:26,184 --> 00:04:28,524 to answer and well did he answer!
48 00:04:28,524 --> 00:04:34,400 Also, As-Siddiq always standed up for the Prophet (PBUH), and defended him against
49 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,981 any harm from the disbelievers of Quraysh in the battle of Badr and others.
50 00:04:39,981 --> 00:04:43,432 It happened at Badr battle that
51 00:04:43,432 --> 00:04:48,352 a father kills his son or vice versa.
52 00:04:48,352 --> 00:04:54,090 As his son was a disbeliever
53 00:04:54,090 --> 00:04:59,443 Abu Bakr wanted to fight his son.
54 00:04:59,443 --> 00:05:03,854 Yet Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) disapproved:
55 00:05:03,854 --> 00:05:10,170 "Pray don't, and let us continue to profit by your wise counsels.
56 00:05:10,170 --> 00:05:15,034 You are very valuable to me."
57 00:05:15,034 --> 00:05:20,018 When the Prophet (PBUH) was prayimg and beseeching Allah
58 00:05:20,018 --> 00:05:23,054 for victory in Badr battle,
59 00:05:23,054 --> 00:05:26,004 Abu Bakr had pity on him and said:
60 00:05:26,004 --> 00:05:31,858 'O Prophet of Allah! You have sufficiently beseeched Allah,
61 00:05:31,858 --> 00:05:35,408 indeed He shall fulfill what He promised you.'
62 00:05:35,408 --> 00:05:40,756 The Prophet (PBUH) then was rejoiced and described to the companions
63 00:05:40,756 --> 00:05:44,768 what was revealed to him about the disbelievers' fall
64 00:05:44,768 --> 00:05:47,213 before the day of the battle.
65 00:05:47,213 --> 00:05:49,845 The Prophet (PBUH) said:
66 00:05:49,845 --> 00:05:54,540 "This is the place where Abu Jahl will fall and here is
67 00:05:54,540 --> 00:05:59,973 Utbah's and Shaybah's. They died just where the Prophet (PBUH) described.
68 00:06:12,712 --> 00:06:17,211 It is also known that the Prophet (PBUH)
69 00:06:17,211 --> 00:06:23,526 let Abu Bakr stay where he can oversee the battle.
70 00:06:23,526 --> 00:06:26,763 After Muslims' victory in the battle of Badr,
71 00:06:26,763 --> 00:06:33,238 Both Abu Bakr and Umar ibn Al-Khattab held contrary views about the captives:
72 00:06:33,238 --> 00:06:38,546 Abu Bakr suggested that the Prophet (PBUH) ransom them;
73 00:06:38,546 --> 00:06:44,035 saying: "They are after all your relatives". However, Umar insisted that
74 00:06:44,035 --> 00:06:47,197 the Prophet (PBUH) kills them,
75 00:06:47,197 --> 00:06:52,088 and he said: " Let Hamza ibn ‘Abdul-Muttalib kills his brother
76 00:06:52,088 --> 00:06:55,898 Al-'Abbas , and let Ali kills his brother 'Aqil.
77 00:06:55,898 --> 00:06:59,059 Otherwise, they will come back to kill you".
78 00:06:59,059 --> 00:07:01,731 Umar was so admanat about this.
79 00:07:01,731 --> 00:07:06,221 After listening to both views, the Prophet (PBUH) said to
80 00:07:06,221 --> 00:07:11,591 Abu Bakr: "You are like Abraham who said: "He who follows me is one
81 00:07:11,591 --> 00:07:17,013 of us, and he who disobeys me, then Allah, you are most merciful".
82 00:07:17,013 --> 00:07:21,913 And like Jesus who said: "If you punish them, they are your servants.
83 00:07:21,913 --> 00:07:25,288 If you forgive them, you are mighty and wise."
84 00:07:25,288 --> 00:07:28,387 He said to Umar: "You are like Noah who said
85 00:07:28,387 --> 00:07:31,848 "Allah, don't leave on earth a nonbeliever".
86 00:07:31,848 --> 00:07:36,851 You are also like Moses who said: "Allah destroy their properties and
87 00:07:36,851 --> 00:07:39,261 harden their hearts so they won't
88 00:07:39,261 --> 00:07:43,249 convert before they are punished." The Prophet said:
89 00:07:43,249 --> 00:07:46,617 "Allah softens the hearts of some people-softer
90 00:07:46,617 --> 00:07:51,195 than milk, and hardens the hearts of others-harder than stone."
91 00:07:57,857 --> 00:08:01,653 All Abu Bakr's unique stances continue
92 00:08:01,653 --> 00:08:04,304 after Badr battle.
93 00:08:04,304 --> 00:08:09,385 It is crystal clear how the Prophet (PBUH) depends on him.
94 00:08:09,385 --> 00:08:12,546 In the battle of Tabouk,
95 00:08:12,546 --> 00:08:15,962 the Prophet (PBUH)
96 00:08:15,962 --> 00:08:21,653 let him take the lead.
97 00:08:21,653 --> 00:08:24,712 In the battle of Khaybar,
98 00:08:24,712 --> 00:08:28,062 the Prophet (PBUH)
99 00:08:28,062 --> 00:08:32,034 sent Abu Bakr at the first day
100 00:08:32,034 --> 00:08:34,620 to open the fortress of Khaybar.
101 00:08:34,620 --> 00:08:40,208 However, he couldn't at the time.
102 00:08:40,208 --> 00:08:45,398 As-siddiq (PBUH) also participated in the battle of Banu Nadir
103 00:08:45,398 --> 00:08:49,003 and Banu Mustaliq.
104 00:08:49,003 --> 00:08:51,229 with the Prophet (PBUH).
105 00:08:51,229 --> 00:08:56,421 Abu Bakr took the lead in Khaybar
106 00:08:56,421 --> 00:08:59,077 and Banu Qurayza battles.
107 00:08:59,077 --> 00:09:04,352 He also participated in the battle of the Trench.
108 00:09:04,352 --> 00:09:09,919 He went with the Prophet (PBUH) to Banu Qurayza.
109 00:09:09,919 --> 00:09:15,578 In the battle of Battle of Khaybar, he suggested to the Prophet (PBUH) not to
110 00:09:15,578 --> 00:09:19,555 cut down palms as they will be useful to Muslims.
111 00:09:19,555 --> 00:09:22,729 Abu Bakr did great in the Battle of Hunayn,
112 00:09:22,729 --> 00:09:27,431 the Siege of Ta'if.
113 00:09:27,431 --> 00:09:30,760 and the Battle of Tabouk.
114 00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:36,147 His stance in that battle is known and renowned.
115 00:09:36,147 --> 00:09:42,688 He contributed all what he had,
116 00:09:42,688 --> 00:09:47,332 while Umar contributed half of his money.
117 00:09:47,332 --> 00:09:51,622 Umar was then astonished by
118 00:09:51,622 --> 00:09:56,098 Abu bakr's deed, and he said: "I wish I were a hair
119 00:09:56,098 --> 00:09:59,479 in the chest of Abu Bakr".
120 00:10:07,689 --> 00:10:13,002 Abu bakr benefited from the Prophet's company even before the Prophet
121 00:10:13,002 --> 00:10:15,036 was sent with the Message.
122 00:10:15,036 --> 00:10:18,206 Their friendship goes back a long way.
123 00:10:18,206 --> 00:10:23,698 He accompanied the Prophet (PBUH) in his Mission and the Hijra
124 00:10:23,698 --> 00:10:28,091 till they established the Islamic state.
125 00:10:28,091 --> 00:10:34,266 As-siddiq was an embodiment of Islam.
126 00:10:34,266 --> 00:10:40,257 He has learned everything thing from the Prophet (PBUH)
127 00:10:40,257 --> 00:10:45,835 and he was a practicing Muslim in everyway.
128 00:10:45,835 --> 00:10:49,944 Abu Bakr learned many things from the Porphet (PBUH)
129 00:10:49,944 --> 00:10:55,834 regarding war, peace, economy.
130 00:10:55,834 --> 00:11:01,366 Also, in social, intellectual and cultural fields and others.
131 00:11:01,366 --> 00:11:06,398 Due to those connections and deeds
132 00:11:06,398 --> 00:11:09,973 between both Abu Bakr and the Prophet (PBUH),
133 00:11:09,973 --> 00:11:15,374 Abu Bakr was nominated and accepted by all Muslims
134 00:11:15,374 --> 00:11:20,292 as the coming Caliph.
135 00:11:20,292 --> 00:11:24,894 They found him the best to succeed the Porphet (PBUH).
136 00:11:24,894 --> 00:11:30,728 His stances with the Porphet (PBUH) have proven this fact.
137 00:11:30,728 --> 00:11:33,746 He was chosen to lead people in prayers
138 00:11:33,746 --> 00:11:36,558 in the Prophet's abscence,
139 00:11:36,558 --> 00:11:40,067 and during the Prophet's deathbed.
140 00:11:40,067 --> 00:11:43,668 The Prophet (PBUH) said: "Tell Abu Bakr to lead
141 00:11:43,668 --> 00:11:46,482 people in prayer."
142 00:11:46,482 --> 00:11:51,533 Also, Prophet Muhammad stated:
143 00:11:51,533 --> 00:11:57,472 "If I were to choose a bosom friend, I would have definitely chosen Abu Bakr".
144 00:12:07,517 --> 00:12:10,582 Before the Porphet's deathbed,
145 00:12:10,582 --> 00:12:14,574 he said in his last speech:
146 00:12:14,574 --> 00:12:17,129 "Allah gave a choice to one of his
147 00:12:17,129 --> 00:12:21,940 slaves: either to choose this world or the Hereafter.
148 00:12:21,940 --> 00:12:25,998 He chose the latter". Abu Bakr then wept
149 00:12:25,998 --> 00:12:30,272 and the companions had no idea why he was crying.
150 00:12:30,272 --> 00:12:35,199 However, he was the only one who knew that
151 00:12:35,234 --> 00:12:38,356 the slave was Prophet Muammad himself.
152 00:12:38,356 --> 00:12:41,112 The Prophet (PBUH) became ill then
153 00:12:41,112 --> 00:12:44,977 and couldn't go out for prayer. He asked that Abu Bakr
154 00:12:44,977 --> 00:12:47,957 lead people in prayer.
155 00:12:47,957 --> 00:12:54,498 However, Abu bakr's daughter Aisha suggested that the Prophet chooses another man and said:
156 00:12:55,725 --> 00:13:01,802 "Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted person and when he stands at your place,
157 00:13:01,802 --> 00:13:06,980 he will weep (so he will not be able to lead the prayer)".
158 00:13:06,980 --> 00:13:09,011 The Prophet (PBUH) insisted:
159 00:13:09,011 --> 00:13:13,237 "Tell Abu Bakr to lead people in prayer."
160 00:13:13,237 --> 00:13:19,801 Allah and Muslims wantd no one but Abu Bakr.
161 00:13:19,801 --> 00:13:24,452 Muslims found that the Prophet (PBUH) was insisting on him
162 00:13:24,452 --> 00:13:27,412 leading the prayer so they gave in.
163 00:13:27,412 --> 00:13:30,390 After they started the prayer,
164 00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:33,563 the Prophet (PBUH) felt better and went out
165 00:13:33,563 --> 00:13:35,922 for the prayer. At that time,
166 00:13:35,922 --> 00:13:38,285 the doors of the houses
167 00:13:38,285 --> 00:13:42,395 were leading to the Masjid.
168 00:13:42,395 --> 00:13:45,562 When the Prophet (PBUH) cam in the Masjid,
169 00:13:45,562 --> 00:13:50,826 Abu Bakr wanted to stand back. However, the Prophet nodded him
170 00:13:50,826 --> 00:13:56,220 to continue leading the prayer, and he standed beside him.
171 00:13:56,220 --> 00:13:58,714 The Prophet (PBUH) seemed
172 00:13:58,714 --> 00:14:03,717 to be fine after they finished the prayer.
173 00:14:13,278 --> 00:14:16,918 Then, Abu Bakr left to his house
174 00:14:16,918 --> 00:14:20,110 that was quite far from the Masjid.
175 00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:24,253 He though that the Prophet (PBUH)
176 00:14:24,253 --> 00:14:26,704 has recovered.
177 00:14:26,704 --> 00:14:30,575 Nevertheless, when he heard the dreadful news
178 00:14:30,575 --> 00:14:36,909 of the Prophet's death, he talked to no body
179 00:14:36,909 --> 00:14:40,835 and headed directly to his daughter's home.
180 00:14:40,835 --> 00:14:45,734 He found the Porphet (PBUH)
181 00:14:45,734 --> 00:14:48,076 (May my soul be for his sake)
182 00:14:48,076 --> 00:14:51,808 lying down. So, what did he do?
183 00:14:51,808 --> 00:14:54,904 He introduced a good practice that
184 00:14:54,904 --> 00:14:59,792 is followed till the judgement day;
185 00:14:59,792 --> 00:15:06,192 Abu Bakr removed the cover off the Prophet's face to kiss him and said:
186 00:15:06,192 --> 00:15:09,138 "You were pure in life and death".
187 00:15:09,138 --> 00:15:11,847 Afterwords, Abu Bakr left the house
188 00:15:11,847 --> 00:15:15,638 and headed back to the Masjid.
189 00:15:15,638 --> 00:15:18,531 He found the place in complete rage:
190 00:15:18,531 --> 00:15:22,745 people were either sad, crying or denying. There,
191 00:15:22,745 --> 00:15:27,272 his well-known stance after the Prophet's death was shown.
192 00:15:27,272 --> 00:15:29,847 When the companions including Umar
193 00:15:29,847 --> 00:15:33,670 who was known for his wisdom and firmness were
194 00:15:33,670 --> 00:15:36,371 perplexed about the Prophet's death,
195 00:15:36,371 --> 00:15:40,864 Abu Bakr was certain that what happened was the truth.
196 00:15:40,864 --> 00:15:46,185 He said: "If anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad ,
197 00:15:46,185 --> 00:15:50,543 Muhammad is dead, but if you used to worship Allah, Allah
198 00:15:50,543 --> 00:15:54,384 is Alive and shall never die". He recited from
199 00:15:54,384 --> 00:15:59,250 the Quran: "Muhammad is but a Messenger, and many Messengers have
200 00:15:59,250 --> 00:16:02,312 passed away before him. If he dies or
201 00:16:02,312 --> 00:16:08,497 is killed will you then turn back on your heels? Whoever turns back on his heels
202 00:16:08,497 --> 00:16:12,609 can never harm Allah. He shall soon reward the grateful.
203 00:16:12,609 --> 00:16:16,693 With that, Abu Bakr's role in the Prophet's life ended.
204 00:16:23,659 --> 00:16:27,024 Then, challanges began to loom
205 00:16:27,024 --> 00:16:31,947 after the Prophet's death.
206 00:16:31,947 --> 00:16:37,453 The Muhajirin and Ansar didn't know what to do.
207 00:16:37,453 --> 00:16:42,855 He wanted to talk to people but noone would listen. He praised Allah,
208 00:16:42,855 --> 00:16:47,665 recited Al-Shahada and said: "If anyone among you used to worship
209 00:16:47,665 --> 00:16:51,781 Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but if you used to
210 00:16:51,781 --> 00:16:55,749 worship Allah, then He is Alive and shall never die".
211 00:16:55,749 --> 00:16:59,004 When the companions disgreed about
212 00:16:59,004 --> 00:17:03,098 where to bury the Prophet's Body,
213 00:17:03,098 --> 00:17:06,175 Someone suggested to bury him in Mecca.
214 00:17:06,175 --> 00:17:13,084 Others, recommended Al Medina.
215 00:17:13,084 --> 00:17:17,362 However, Abu Bakr knew what should be done,
216 00:17:17,362 --> 00:17:22,084 as he heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying:
217 00:17:22,084 --> 00:17:28,907 "No Prophet was ever buried except in the place where he died"
218 00:17:28,907 --> 00:17:34,054 Also, when they disgreed about distributing his assets,
219 00:17:34,054 --> 00:17:39,309 he advised with what the Prophet (PBUH) stated: "We Prophets
220 00:17:39,309 --> 00:17:43,842 do not have heirs; what we leave behind is charity."
221 00:17:54,190 --> 00:18:00,921 Aisha reported that The Prophet (PBUH) asked her in his last illness to call Abu Bakr;
222 00:18:00,921 --> 00:18:03,912 her father, and her brother for he feared
223 00:18:03,912 --> 00:18:10,397 that someone might want to succeed him and a claimant may say: "I have better claim to it,
224 00:18:10,397 --> 00:18:14,791 while Allah and Muslims want no one but of Abu Bakr.
225 00:18:14,791 --> 00:18:17,930 What the Porphet (PBUH) anticipated occured
226 00:18:17,930 --> 00:18:21,872 as many were looking forward to succeeding the Porphet.
227 00:18:21,872 --> 00:18:24,218 Then Abu Bakr interfered
228 00:18:28,386 --> 00:18:30,885 and decided that all shall go
229 00:18:30,885 --> 00:18:36,297 to the Saqifah and this was the first time to elect a successor in Islam.
230 00:18:36,297 --> 00:18:38,355 Everyone headed there
231 00:18:38,355 --> 00:18:44,821 and there was another candidate against Abu Bakr.
232 00:18:44,821 --> 00:18:48,735 Both the Muhajirin and Ansar stated their views
233 00:18:48,735 --> 00:18:55,984 of their candidates and their candidacy programmes.
234 00:18:55,984 --> 00:19:01,571 After Abu Bakr won, he looked towards Umar and said:
235 00:19:01,571 --> 00:19:04,627 "Why don't you take the lead?"
236 00:19:04,627 --> 00:19:08,486 Umar refused. Abu Bakr then replied:
237 00:19:08,486 --> 00:19:10,871 "you are stronger than I am".
238 00:19:10,871 --> 00:19:16,053 Umar stated: "You are the one who was with the Prophet (PBUH)
239 00:19:16,053 --> 00:19:20,233 in the cave, and Allah promised to be with both of you".
240 00:19:20,233 --> 00:19:25,796 He also said: "And you are so and so..."
241 00:19:25,796 --> 00:19:31,321 Then, he gave his pledge to him
242 00:19:31,321 --> 00:19:36,629 and everbody did so.
243 00:19:36,629 --> 00:19:40,380 Then, they started the bigger Bai'a.
244 00:19:40,380 --> 00:19:47,648 There were two Bai'as to choose the Caliph:
245 00:19:47,648 --> 00:19:49,953 a small and a big one.
246 00:19:49,953 --> 00:19:53,689 The Ansar felt the right to succeed
247 00:19:53,689 --> 00:19:57,033 the Prophet (PBUH)
248 00:19:57,033 --> 00:20:03,828 They depended on many incidents and facts: Firstly: The Prophet (PBUH)
249 00:20:03,828 --> 00:20:09,711 stayed in Mecca for 13 years.
250 00:20:09,711 --> 00:20:16,093 His own relatives wronged and hurt him severly.
251 00:20:16,093 --> 00:20:20,680 and they believed that Islam has prevailed by their support.
252 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:26,207 Secondly: The Ansar were the ones who provided the Muhajirin
253 00:20:28,970 --> 00:20:37,083 with shelters and means of living.
254 00:20:37,083 --> 00:20:41,473 Thridly, they have participated in the Prophet's battles.
255 00:20:41,473 --> 00:20:46,311 So, when Abu Bakr, Umar and Abu 'Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah
256 00:20:46,311 --> 00:20:52,815 arrived to the Saqifah.
257 00:20:52,815 --> 00:20:57,868 Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr prevented him.
258 00:20:57,868 --> 00:21:05,215 Later, Umar said: "I intended only to say something that appealed to me".
259 00:21:05,215 --> 00:21:12,276 Abu Bakr prevented him because he knew of Umar's strictness and he found that
260 00:21:12,276 --> 00:21:16,323 the current situation requires otherwise.
261 00:21:16,323 --> 00:21:19,830 Then, in his statement, Abu Bakr named
262 00:21:19,830 --> 00:21:24,781 the Ansar's merits and virtues of Jihad and support.
263 00:21:24,781 --> 00:21:30,516 He mentioned that Islam was strengthened by theirselves.
264 00:21:30,516 --> 00:21:35,345 He asserted that their merits can't be denied or neglected.
265 00:21:35,345 --> 00:21:38,739 However, the Muhajirin have also their merites:
266 00:21:38,739 --> 00:21:43,302 They were the first ones to embrace Islam.
267 00:21:43,337 --> 00:21:50,838 Everyone hurt and attacked them,
268 00:21:50,838 --> 00:21:55,097 yet they stood up for Islam.
269 00:21:55,097 --> 00:21:59,406 They were the first to worship Allah
270 00:21:59,406 --> 00:22:01,855 and carry out Jihad for his cause.
271 00:22:01,890 --> 00:22:06,886 In short, Muhajirin come first
272 00:22:06,886 --> 00:22:12,226 At last, Muslims gave the Pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr.
273 00:22:21,608 --> 00:22:27,206 In his first statement,
274 00:22:27,206 --> 00:22:32,046 he stated the foundation of his ruling.
275 00:22:32,046 --> 00:22:35,812 His first decision was to send the army lead by
276 00:22:35,812 --> 00:22:40,731 Usama bin Zayd as requested by the Porphet (PBUH) before his death.
277 00:22:40,731 --> 00:22:45,039 Certain companions tried to persuade Abu Bakr to replace
278 00:22:45,039 --> 00:22:48,320 Usama with Umar due to his youth.
279 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:54,130 As-siddiq refused nd insisted on his decision. He stated that
280 00:22:54,130 --> 00:22:57,300 Whatever happens this army will be sent
281 00:22:57,300 --> 00:23:03,105 and Usama should be its commander and no body else.
282 00:23:03,105 --> 00:23:06,552 When Umar was chosen as the Caliph after
283 00:23:21,284 --> 00:23:26,644 Abu Baker's death, people used to note that they preferred him over
284 00:23:26,644 --> 00:23:30,446 Abu Bakr. Umar then declared: "By Allah, one night of
285 00:23:30,446 --> 00:23:36,912 Abu Bakr is better than all the life of Umar's family;
286 00:23:36,912 --> 00:23:42,554 and one day of Abu Bakr is better than all the life of Umar's family.
287 00:23:42,554 --> 00:23:44,979 Umar had a point there;
288 00:23:44,979 --> 00:23:49,971 As- siddiq never prayed to the idols,
289 00:23:49,971 --> 00:23:53,713 and never drank wine.
290 00:23:53,713 --> 00:23:58,545 When he was asked why he never drank wine, he explained
291 00:23:58,545 --> 00:24:03,520 that it diminishes one's manhood.
