Abū Bakr (c. 573–August 23, 634/13 AH) was the first Muslim ruler after Muhammad (632–634). While Sunnis regard him as his rightful successor (caliph), chosen by the people, the first of four righteous Caliphs (Rashidun), the Shi'a insist that he violated Muhammad's direct orders and orchestrated a Coup d'état.

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or tree:
“It is extraordinary that when you are acquainted with a whole family you can forget about them.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
