Hazrat Abubakar Siddique (RA) was only two years younger than our Holy Prophet (PBUH) and they had been friends since childhood.
Both lived together in trade. Hazrat Abu Bakr was a famous true and honest merchant even before Islam. And his business was pervasive.
When Prophethood was granted to our Holy Prophet, Abu Bakr was the first among the youth to accept Islam.
In Makkah, he was very famous for his charity and humanitarianism. He often bought slaves and freed them.
But when the disbelievers began to afflict the Prophet of God (PBUH) and his friends, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) took Abu Bakr (RA) with him and went towards Madinah.
On the way, there was danger from the infidels. So they hid in a cave in the mountain of Thor. When they reached Medina, Abu Bakr (RA) bought the land for the mosque and offered it to the Messenger of Allah.
After that, Quraysh started fighting from Makkah.
Abu Bakr (RA) was involved in all the battles of Badr Uhud and Khandaq. He was also present at the time of the conquest of Makkah. It became difficult to even go to the mosque for prayer, so he ordered Hazrat Abu Bakr to lead the prayer in his place.
After the departure of the Holy Prophet, the Muslims chose Abu Bakr as their caliph and emir. He said clearly in his sermons that I have been appointed as your servant. Obey If I do not go, do not obey my command.
As soon as Hazrat Abubakar Siddique became the caliph, many temptations arose, some false prophets arose and some ignorant people became their supporters, some refused to give zakat, but Hazrat Abubakar Siddique died very much. He fought these temptations and crushed them all in a short period of time.
There were battles with the Iranians and the Romans, but their decisions were made after the death of Hazrat Abu Bakr, however, the Muslims occupied Iraq and Syria during the reign of Hazrat Abu Bakr.
He was in the caliphate for only two and a half years and despite being the ruler, he lived a very poor life.
There was no burden on the treasury of the Muslims for their expenses, they only took a few dirhams daily. At the time of his death, he bequeathed that he should make Hazrat Umar (RA) his Amir after me. Hazrat Abubakar Siddique (RA) was buried in Aisha's room next to the Prophet.
