Early Life

Election for Khalifah After his election as the Caliph, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr

(radi Allahu anhu) addressed the Muslims with these words: "O People! I have been chosen by you as your leader, although I

am no better than any of you. If I do any wrong, set me right. Listen, truth is honesty and untruth is dishonesty. The weak among you are the powerful in my eyes, as long as I do not give them their dues. The powerful among you are weak in my eyes, as long as I do not take away from them what is due to others.

"Obey me as long as I obey Allah and His Rasul (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam). If I disobey Allah and His Rasul (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam), you are free to disobey me."

A great reward indeed! Abu Bakr had earned it. All his life he stood by the side of the Prophet. He did not care for his life. his riches, care or for what others said about him. His only ambition was to serve the Prophet more than anyone elseThe ambition was fulfilled. And Abu Bakr got his reward in full. The Messenger of Allah was well pleased with him. He gave him the first place among the Companions. Abu Bakr was to be the first man to fill the place of the Prophet. He was also to lie in eternal rest by the prophet's side.
