, Whoever amongst you worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will never die. Allah said: 'Muhammad is not but a messenger.
I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right.
In the name of the most merciful God, Abdallah Athik Ibn Abi Quhafa, to the rest of the true believers; health and happiness, and the mercy and blessing of God be upon you.

Born around 573 into the Banu Taym, Abdullah ibn Abi Quhafa was among the first to convert to Islam and became its first missionary, bringing several early companions into the fold. Muhammad called him al-Ṣiddīq - the Truthful - and he joined the migration to Medina, served as a bodyguard, fought in every campaign, and led prayers in the prophet's absence. When Muhammad died in 632, Abu Bakr was elected caliph at Saqifa over contested claims. His brief reign was war: he put down the Ridda uprisings tribe by tribe, reunified the Arabian Peninsula, and launched the first strikes into the Sasanian and Byzantine empires. He also oversaw the compilation of the Quran into a codex. He named Umar his successor and died of illness in August 634 after two years and two months in power, buried beside Muhammad in Medina - the only Rashidun caliph to die a natural death.
