Abu Bakr Siddiq (R.A.), popularly known as Abu Bakr, is the first Caliph after the Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.). His full name is Abdullah bin Abu Quhafah Uthman bin Aamer Al Qurashi Al Taymi. His lineage joins with that of the Prophet (S.A.W.) six generations before himself, in Murrah Ben Kaab.
Born in Mina, he shares a common ancestor with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) in their sixth grandfather, Murrah ibn Ka'b. He is commonly known by his kunya, Abu Bakr Ibn Abi Quhafa Al-Siddiq, which draws from the word "Bakr," meaning young camel."
The moment Abu Bakr al-Siddiq [ranhu], May Allah be pleased with him, embraced Islam, he spent all his money for the cause of Islam. He promptly set people free and helped end the hardships of the downtrodden Muslims.
