Though the period of his caliphate was not long, it included successful invasions of the two most powerful empires of the time, a remarkable achievement in its own right. Ību Bakr's Caliphate lasted for a little over two years (or 27 months), ending with his death after an illness. He also participated in the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah and was made one of the witnesses over the pact. During the lifetime of Muhammad, he was involved in several campaigns such as the Battle of Uhud, the Battle of the Trench, the Invasion of Banu Qurayza, Battle of Khaybar, the Conquest of Mecca, the Battle of Hunayn, the Siege of Ta'if, and the Battle of Tabuk where he was reported to have given all of his wealth for the preparation of this expedition.

He was instrumental in the conversion of many people to the Islamic faith and early in 623, Abu Bakr's daughter Aisha was married to Muhammad, strengthening the ties between the two men.

On his return from a business trip to Yemen, he was informed that in his absence Muhammad had openly declared his prophethood. He eventually came to be recognized as the chief of his clan. He was called Al-Siddiq (The Truthful) and was known by that title among later generations of Muslims.Īs a young man, Abu Bakr became a merchant and he travelled extensively in Arabia and neighboring lands in the Middle East, through which he gained both wealth and experience.
