Abu Bakr?.. The best of people after the Messengers… the most beloved of people to the Messenger of Allah… and the most learned of them in the religion of Allah… “the second of two, when they were in the cave”! This book tells you of his life, his companionship with the Messenger of Allah, his caliphate after the Messenger of Allah… his outlook, and his timeless humane stances… the man who fought forty thousand to secure the right of the poor… who went out to face the world alone, and triumphed… opening the world within two years… the man who defeated two hundred and forty thousand Byzantines with four hundred Muslim soldiers!! The man of whom Umar said: “May Allah have mercy on Abu Bakr; he has made things hard for all who come after him…”
