3D3Q – Day 3

In the last day of 3 days 3 quotes, I’ll share the quote about leadership.

Our prophet Muhammad [PBUH] is the best leader in the world and in the hereafter. The best leader after him is Caliph Abu Bakr Ash-shiddiq. He was guaranteed by Allah as one of the Muslims who will enter the paradise early and easily. Allahu Akbar!

Abu Bakr was among the earliest to accept Islam. Once, he brought all his belongings to the prophet, who was raising money for the defense of Madina, The Prophet asked, “Abu Bakr. what did you leave for your family?” The reply came, “Allah and His Prophet.” Masha’Allah!

After he was chosen as the caliph, he delivered the speech, and it was his speech:

After giving praise and thanks to Allah, Abu Bakr (ra) addressed the Muslims gathered at the Prophet’s mosque:”I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right. 

Sincere regard for truth is loyalty and disregard for truth is treachery. The weak amongst you shall be strong with me until I have secured his rights, if Allah will; and the strong amongst you shall be weak with me until I have wrested from him the rights of others, if Allah will. Obey me so long as I obey Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad, pbuh). But if I disobey Allah and His Messenger, ye owe me no obedience. Arise for your prayer, Allah have mercy upon you.”
