"Most people have a best friend who they favor amongs all of the people. The best friend of Prophet Muhammad was Abu Bakr As-Siddiq. He was the only person, other than the Prophet's own wife, who accepted Islam immediately and believed in Muhammad from the first movement that he announced his Prophethood. Abu Bakr always remained at the Prophet's side and he had no reservations about spending his wealth for the sake of Islam and the Muslims. The Prophet's companions all recognized his superiority, yet he always remained humble and sincere towards all. This is the story of Abu Bakr and his rise to leadership of the Muslim Ummah."--Page 4 of cover.

This is a new story of Islam. It is the story of the movement which was launched by Muhammad, the Messenger of God, in A.D. 610 in Makkah, and was consummated with the support of his cousin, collaborator and vicegerent, Ali ibn Abi Talib, in A.D. 632 in Medina. It covers a period of ninety years from A.D. 570 when he was born in Makkah, to A.D. 661 when his successor, Ali ibn Abi Talib, was assassinated in Kufa. Countless histories of Islam have been written in the past and will be written in the future. The spectacular advance of Islam in the missionary field in our own times; the renaissance of the Muslim nations after many centuries of slumber; the obtrusion of oil as a new factor in world politics in this century; but above all and most recently, the success of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, all are acting, both in the east and in the west, as catalysts of a new interest in Islam. The Revolution in Iran, has, in fact, triggered a world-wide explosion of interest in Islam, and many new books are being written on the subject - both by Muslims and non-Muslims...

"'Umar bin Khattab is one of the great Companions of the Prophet and second Caliph of Islam. He was so firm in his practice of Islam that he usually could sense what was right or wrong before the Prophet had informed others of it. He used to say to this friends: if a mule stumbles near the Euphrates River, I fear being questioned by Allah as to why I had not paved the road for it. This book sheds light on the life and struggle of the greatest example of a just ruler. We should follow his footsteps to maintain justice in every walk of our life." -- Back of book.

Throughout his life, Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (the Truthful) provided a role model to all those around him. Wishing only to earn the pleasure of Allah and His Messenger, he donated all his possessions in the way of Allah and was unswerving in his support of the blessed Prophet. This book presents his extraordinary life alongside with the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. The other companions admitted that no one could outdo Abu Bak in exemplifying the true faith. His uprightness and sincerity earned him the honor of being the first Caliph of the Muslim world. He served the people with the greatest humility, dying almost penniless at the age of sixty-three. This book brings to life the remarkable character of Abu Bakr from his birth onwards through the early years of Islam.

"The works of Islamic mysticism are a crucial genre of Islamic piety, and the lives of the awliya (friends of God) have been and continue to be a crucial way in which the theoretical insights of Sufism are embodied and communicated to a wider audience. Traditionally, these genres would be deciphered by a living Sufi master. Here John Renard acts as our Sufi guide, transporting us to the marvelous world of Islamic piety."—Omid Safi, Professor of Islamic Studies, University of Northern Carolina

This book analyzes his exemplary life, his relationship with the Prophet, and his unique role in the birth period of Islam.

In a comprehensive study of early Islamic history, Wilferd Madelung examines the conflict which developed after Muhammad's death for the leadership of the Muslim community. He pursues the history of this conflict through the reign of the four 'Rightly Guided' caliphs to its climax in the first inter-Muslim war. The outcome of the war, which marked the demise of the reign of the Early Companions, resulted in the lasting schism between Sunnite and Shi'ite Islam. Contrary to recent scholarly trends, the author brings out Ali's early claim to legitimate succession, which gained support from the Shi'a, and offers a convincing reinterpretation of early Islamic history. This book will make a major contribution to the debate over succession. Wilferd Madelung's book The Succession to Muhammad has been awarded the Best Book of the Year prize by the Islamic Republic of Iran for the year 1997.
