Hazrat Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq (R.A) became the first caliph of the Muslims after the death of the Prophet (S.A.S). He was a close Companion of the Prophet (S.A.S) therefore he became the first adult Muslim to believe in the revelation. As a wealthy trader, supported the mission of the Prophet (S.A.S) in the early years by freeing slaves who were mistreated by their masters for accepting Islam. He was given the title Al-Siddiq by the Prophet (S.A.S) for his truthfulness and love for Allah and His Messenger. This book is discussing the life of Abu Bakr (R.A) and his kingdom in detail.

This book is divided into three parts. The first part confers his life in Mecca.

The second part of the looks at his life in Medina after migration. It shades light upon his contribution in Medina. He played an active role in military expedition with the Prophet (S.A.S). The third and final part is about the Caliphate which lasted for two years. With a short span of two years he was able to unify the Muslims and expand Islam to the furthest lands.
