Abu Bakr Recited This Verse From Quran

The leadership and stabilization of the Ummah under Abu Bakr became the defining challenge for the early Muslim community following the passing of Prophet Muhammad (SAWS). This episode explores the intense Succession Crisis in Medina and how the community navigated the transition of power.

We delve into the rise of false prophets and the military strategy employed, including the pivotal decision to send Usama ibn Zayd’s army to face the Byzantine threat despite the dangers at home. Ultimately, this is a story of the preservation of Islamic unity and the iron will of a leader determined to keep the faith and the nation from fracturing.
