Bibi Aisha (daughter of Abu Bakar R.A. and wife of Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W.W.) once asked to Hazrat Muhammad S.A.W.W. ,'O Messenger of Allah, has anyone does as many good deeds as there are stars in the sky?' He(S.A.W.W) replied,'Yes, 'Umar (ibn al-Khattab) has.,She R.A. asked how Abu Bakar's good deeds compared with his and he replied, 'All 'Umar's good deeds are like one of Abu Bakar's good deeds.'

When Abu Bakar Siddique R.A. was mentioned in Hazrat Umar's(R.A.) presence,he wept and said,"I wish all my good deeds could compare with what he did on a certain day and certain night."

Good deeds of Calif Abu Bakar Siddique R.A.

This LOVE is the root of matter. This is what we desire. This is the purpose of Islam and we must look to Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique R.A. for this.
THIS LOVE IS DYNAMIC AND IS EXPRESSED IN THE ACTIONS OF THE SLAVE WHO POSSESS IT.

The Rightly Guided Caliph- I

Prophet S.A.W.W. said that,"Abu Bakar's superiority over other was not by reason of much praying and much fasting, but because Allah's special favour was with him,namely the love of Allah.On th day of judgement when men's prayers are brought, they will be put in the balance, and likewise their fasting and charity,but when love is brought, it will not be contained in the balance. So the root of matter is love."

Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.)

Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.) was the first among men who believed in Messenger Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.W.) He was the best companion of Prophet (S.A.W.W.) and the man whom Prophet S.A.W.W loved more than anyone.He was also the first CALIPH of Muslims.The incident on which he believed is about accepting Islam.Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.) only the person who accepted that time. That is why Hazrat Abu Bakar Siddique (R.A.) called as Al-Siddiq which means, the most truthful.

Men Around The Messenger By Khalid Muhammad Khalid

While reading this book, we cannot help but be moved by the lives of the Companions herein depicted.

This book is about the lives of 60  Well Known Companions of the Prophet (SAW) after the four rightly guided Khalifs.

How we long to have their awe  for Allah! How we long to spend the same hours in worship as they! How we long to be as brave as they were in the face of danger! How we long to be as patient as they were under torture! 
This book fulfills the need for the Muslims to learn more about that first generation of Muslims. Indeed the Companions ,the men who were contemporaries with the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W) -- inspire and encourage us.

To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.
