I was always intrigued by the Prophet's ﷺ and Ebubekir's friendship. So much that I wish to model my friendships according to theirs. It is full of trust, constant support and mutual respect. This piece of work is compact and short. I believe every chapter could've had more content or somewhat more to them. It's definitely a good read regardless as its shortness smoothly introduces the topic. And whoever wants to know more can continue their research.

This was amazing and simple for people whos beginner in learning Islamic History, I always wanted to read the stories of The Four Rightly Caliph, and this series are perfect for someone who want to read the shorter surface version.

I wish it's was long as it felt so short, though there's more moment about relation of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq with The Prophet that could be an example of a true frienship and companion for all human.

Absolutely amazing. Very well written and the best collection of details about the life of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). It's a delight to read about everything about this amazing personality at one place with good sources quoted everywhere. Jazak Allahu khayr to the writer for this effort.

It was okay?

The book was rather short yet left me feeling like it was long. There were too many facts in the book that didn't have to do directly with Abu Bakr included so at times, I had to remind myself that this is a biography of him. For instance, at the end in a passing sentence, I found out that Abu Bakr was known for his work in genealogy. I want to know more about that!

In my opinion, a biography should make you want to learn more about the person and by chapter 3, I didn't feel as excited. In fact, chapter 3 was the worst written chapter.

"Abu Bakr was his kunyah. Do you know what a kunyah is?" - First page of Chapter 3 in this book.

Asking a question mid-book that requires as a yes or no answer comes off as patronizing, as if I were being read to as a young child by a teacher. Perhaps this book was designed for kids under the age of 12, which is totally fine, but if that were the case, the sheer number of details given on warfare would have bored any child.

I believe the facts were all accurate - just boring and not conveyed properly so this is why I am giving a 3/5 stars.

An excellent book to get familiar with the basics about this great man. The english was easy to read and understand. a little too much focus on the conquest and expeditions. but i understand why as that was a big part of his Caliphate.

This is an extremely beautiful book that although no amount of pages or words can be used to properly describe Abu Bakr As-sideeq (may Allah be please with him), this book still delivered and absolutely deserves five stars
