1/3

After the death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad , the question of succession became a difficult problem

as no successor was nominated. The Muhajerins (those who followed the Prophet from Mecca to

Medina in Hijrat) wanted Hazrat Abu Bakr to be the Caliph. But the Ansars wanted two Imams, one for

themselves and another for the Quraish and the Muhajerins. Hazrat Umar, however, handled the

dispute most tactfully and Hazrat Abu Bakar was elected to be the first Khaliph of Islam.
