Abu Bakr: The Pinnacle of Truthfulness

by Reşit Haylamaz

This book is about Abu Bakr, the first Caliph to rule the world of Islam after the Prophet Muhammad. More important than his achievements as a state leader was his close companionship with Prophet Muhammad, a relationship that earned him the name al Siddiq. He was the only Companion who was privileged to ride alongside the Prophet Muhammad in his great migration to Madina, a turning point in the history of Islam. This book analyzes his exemplary life, his relationship with the Prophet, and his unique role in the birth period of Islam.

[Amir · Rating 4 out of 5]

it's a moving account of Hadhrat Abu Bakr [RAA], tracing his life from the times of polytheism in Makkah to the first revelations, migration, conquest and his caliphate. The book deals more with the personality and relationships of the first caliph rather than the religious aspects. If you seek to know the reasons as to why he was the first and most favored among Muslims, this is it. an eye-opener, reminding us how less we know about our heroes. Quite a short-read.
P.S. major learning: his name wasn't Abu Bakr.

This book was full of information that I didn't know before, so it was great discovering so many new things about one of the most influential Sahabah Abu Bakr (r.a.a.). I also appreciated that this book had a good editor because so many Islamic books have bad grammar, but this one did not. I think it's a good book for someone new to Islam and yet it has something for people who have been Muslim for a while.

[Imran Abdul Haqiim · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to read, inspiring and entertaining. A must-read for those in particular who believe, that to have faith means to not question anything! Because Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the right kind of questions :)
