Seerah 104 - The 1st Rightful Khalifah of Islam Part 2: Election of Abu Bakr ~ Dr. Yasir Qadhi

The Khilafah of Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq (raḍyAllāhu ‘anhu) as the first rightful Khalifah of Islam is one that is drenched in much controversy between different groups of Islam.
This controversy not only led to political differences in the Ummah but theological formation of different groups within Islam.
Join Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi in the sequel of 'The first Rightful Khalifah of Islam' as he discusses the evidences of the election of Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq (raḍyAllāhu ‘anhu) as the first legitimate Khailfah of Islam.
In this video, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi discusses the election of Abu Bakr to be the Khalifa after the death of the prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Dr. Qadhi also covers:
Did the prophet Muhammad explicitly choose or mention Abu Bakr (r) as the next Khalifa?
Gathering of the Muslims to pick the next Khalifa
Umar (r) nominating Abu Bakr (r)
The most powerful Khutbah ever given by any political leader (other than the Prophet), ie, that of Abu Bakr (r)
Recorded on 18th March 2015

I started this series during the pandemic and watched the first 90 or so episodes with great passion. Then I paused for 2 years or so and started again where I left off. I can't ever thank Allah enough for this series and for all the knowledge and taqwa I gained. And I deeply appreciate the work of Sheikh Yasir and I make dua for him that his work will benefit him in this life and the hereafter. I hope one day I can meet him in person.

[@muksidriyad2581]

Jazak Allahu Khairan! I don't have any words to describe how I'm feeling right now. Through the immense mercy of Allah, by watching this Seerah I have gained a lot of knowledge. Most importantly I got inspired a lot about Islam. I have found & realised the divine beauty of Islam. It takes probably 36 days(from June 29 to August 3, 2021) to complete this Seerah. In my humble opinion, I think Allah has accepted his Dua that people are benefiting a lot by watching this Seerah. Again I must say May Allah reward you with good. Lots of love & respect from Bangladesh.

"If you do not aid the Prophet - Allah has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of Makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, "Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us." And Allah sent down his tranquillity upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of Allah - that is the highest. And Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise." [Quran 9:40] The historical context of the above verse proves that Hazrat Abu Bakr As- Siddiq (RA) was indeed the companion of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) as agreed by Muslims. The verse itself explicitly states that Allah (SWT) is with Prophet Muhammad سَلَّلَّاهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّم (SAW) and Abu Bakr (RA); "Do not grieve; indeed Allah is with us." This means that Hazrat Abu Bakr (RA) was indeed a mu'min, righteous and muhsin. "...Allah is with the believers." [Quran 8:19] ".....Allah is with the righteous." [Quran 9:36] "Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good." [Quran 16:128] "....Allah is with the doers of good." [Quran 29:69]

You are right about not to talk and discuss about the fintah. However, westerners are not leaving this to explain in their own way and even cause more doubt. We should at least know our own history or how to approach this issue.

Syed You are right. Imo he should talk about it in order for us to learn our history. We shouldn't be dodgy of it. But i do understand why he doesnt want to talk about it. When i read about that period of time it saddens my heart but it's still important to know our history.
