Abu Bakr

Abū Bakr ‘Abdallāh bin Abī Quḥāfah aṣ-Ṣiddīq (Arabic: أبو بكر عبد الله بن أبي قحافة الصديق; c. 573 CE – 23 August 634 CE) popularly known as Abu Bakr (أبو بكر), was a senior companion (Sahabi) and—through his daughter Aisha—the father-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Abu Bakr became the first openly declared Muslim outside Muhammad's family. Abu Bakr served as a trusted advisor to Muhammad. During Muhammad's lifetime, he was involved in several campaigns and treaties.

He ruled over the Rashidun Caliphate from 632 to 634 CE, when he became the first Muslim Caliph following Muhammad's death. As caliph, Abu Bakr succeeded to the political and administrative functions previously exercised by Muhammad. He was commonly known as The Truthful (Arabic: الصديق, translit. As-Saddīq). Abu Bakr's reign lasted for 27 months, ending with his death after an illness.

Lineage and title

Abu Bakr's full name was Abd Allah ibn 'Uthman ibn Aamir ibn Amr ibn Ka'ab ibn Sa'ad ibn Taym (from whom the at-Taymi al-Quraishi) ibn Murrah ibn Ka'ab ibn Lu'ai ibn Ghalib ibn Fihr al-Quraishi.

Abu Bakr (mansa)

Abu Bakr, also known as Abubakari I or Manding Bory, was the fifth Mansa (Emperor) of the Mali Empire, reigning from 1275 to 1285.

He was born Manding Bory to mother Namandjé, third wife to Naré Maghan kon Fatta. Before becoming Mansa, Manding Bory served as kankoro sigui (vizier and second in command) to Sundjata.

When Sundjata died under mysterious circumstances in 1255 his oldest and only blood heir was too young to serve as Mansa, and Manding Bory was designated regent. Before he could ascend, his nephew seized the throne under the name Mansa Wali.

Little is known of Manding Bory during the reigns of Wati, Wait and Khalifa. After the assassination of Khalifa, Manding Bory was finally made Mansa of Mali under the name Abu Bakr. The name became Abubakari in the rapidly spoken language of Mandinka.

Mansa Abu Bakr began Mali's slow return to prominence in West Africa after five years of civil war and economic decline. After ten years, the throne was usurped by freed slave and general Sakura in 1285.

Abu Bakr (name)

Abu Bakr (Arabic: أبو بكر ) was a sahabah, one of the companions of Muhammad and the first Caliph of Islam. His real name was Abdullah or Abul-Kaaba and Abu Bakr was his kunya. Abu Bakr translates as one who does things the earliest, a name given since he was the first adult man to believe in Muhammad's teachings without question or doubt.

The name is widely used by Sunni Muslims. Other transliterations include Abu Bakar, Abu Bekr, Ebubekir, Aboubacar etc. The two parts of the name can be written together, hyphenated, or separately. He was also father-in-law of Muhammad through Aisha.

    Saint Louis my city dawg. West side was the block
    While you was in the crib playing with legos I was out there trying to give
    blocks
    Momma gone, daddy gone, it's just me and my hood, dawg
    Subuffing, beamed up, like I'm bout to go play baseball
    Before you heard about Jesus, boy. I was already some trap or die
    What it's done? For all is cool. You can still see the pain in my eye
    What you know about sitting in a jail cell, felonies, murder case,
    Best friend, rolled on me, take the stand, turned state.
    I am a fellon, I tell no lies, hand on the Bible, hand to the sky
    I want to live, I ain't wanna die when they roll upon me and let them
    bullets fly
    They could have been the end, dawg
    One way, hell's gate but the Lord stepped in
    Chose to, show grace. Could have been layed in the box, dawg
    6 of my homeboys carry me, but I'm alive and the old me gone
    'Cause everyday, dawg I bury me.
    I can't hatch upon the claws, Hydro-plonic lungs
    Limbo low tender, I can chop down timber
    I was no pretender certified offender, never know surrender.
    My amnesia's circumstantial, there're some things I can't remember
    Those who knew me be like "who he? ", they're trippin off the new me
    They like man where the old 'Crae. You crazy, you can't fool me.
    I'm a party so hard that the law tryin' to find me
    I pray to God they ain't find me. But then I hear a {whoo-whoo}
    Lookin' in the rear view when they are right behind me
    Roll down my window, "Boy, what's your name?"
    'Cause you was doing 85 in the passing lane with no traffic, man
    Then I give them my ID, and guess what they say
    "This boy here crazy, now that's just Crae"
    And I was psycho, wild as the hun is
    I do like the Chi, doing whatever I wanted
    Until I was confronted, heard about Jesus and I changed
    They're like man what you do, talk about you just ain't the same.
    I was dead. The old me was nothing but a sucker
    Sucked the life out of my mother, just to get the stuff I wanted
    Now I'm in good milk carton status and if you can't explain it
