Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) was the first Caliph of Islam and the closest companion of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). His full name was Abdullah ibn Uthman ibn Amir al-Taymi al-Qurashi. He earned the title "Abu Bakr" (father of the young camel) due to his expertise in camel breeding, and the title "Al-Siddiq" (the truthful) because he was the first to believe in the Prophet's (PBUH) account of the Night Journey (Miraj) without hesitation.
Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) was born in Makkah in 573 CE, about two years after the Year of the Elephant. He belonged to the Banu Taym clan of the Quraysh tribe. His father's name was Uthman (also known as Abu Quhafa) and his mother was Salma (Umm al-Khair). He was the first adult male to accept Islam and remained the Prophet's (PBUH) closest companion throughout his life, including during the migration (Hijrah) to Madina where he was the Prophet's sole companion in the cave of Thawr.
