ANCESTRY AND ATTRIBUTES
He is the first Caliph after the Prophet Muhammad (prayers and peace be upon him). His name is Abdullah bin Abu Quhafah Uthman bin Aamer Al Qurashi Al Taymi, His lineage joins with that of the Prophet (prayers and peace be upon him) six generations before himself, in Murrah Ben Kaáb. It was broadly agreed on naming him Al-Siddiq (The Truthful), for the reason that before Islam he was one the chiefs of Quraish and one of their consultants, and he was well-known of his truthfulness and honesty. In the presence of Islam, Abu Bakr was the first man to respond and believe the Prophet Muhammad’s mission.
Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was born in Makkah in the year 573 CE (Christian Era), two years and some months after the birth of the Prophet (prayers and peace be upon him). Abu Bakr was brought up within his decent good parents, thus he gained considerable self-esteem and noble status. His father Uthman, named Abu Quhafah, accepted Islam in the Day of Victory in Makkah. His mother Salma, named Umm Al Khair, she embraced Islam early, and migrated to Madinah.
Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) was a slim white man with slight shoulders, thin face, sunken eyes, protruding forehead, and was used to dye his beard with henna, these are his physical constitution. Regarding his morality, he was munificent, courageous, determinate, has got good sense in
intricate stances, tolerant, patient, strong-minded, jurist, knowledgeable of genealogy and history, has a great trust and reliance on Allah, devout, alienated from desires, abstaining from the world and willing with Allah’s blessings, (may Allah be pleased with him).
