Who was the Prophet's closest companion?
Abu Bakr, a devoted friend and father-in-law of Muhammad, is honored with the title al-Ṣiddīq (الصِّدِّيق, meaning 'the Veracious') among Sunni Muslims. He was born to Abu Quhafa and Umm al-Khayr from the Banu Taym tribe, and was one of the first to embrace Islam, actively engaging in dawah to spread the message to the Mushrikites.
