The four Khulafa of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, are known as the Khulafa-e-Rashideen, or the rightly guided successors. The following article is a brief account of the lives and achievements of those Khulafa, may Allah be pleased with them.
Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq
The personal name of Hazrat Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, was Abdullah, but in respect of his fatherhood he was known as Abu Bakr. His father was known as Abu Qahaafah and his mother as Ummul-Khair Salma. His lineage can be traced back to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the sixth generation before him.
Hazrat Umar Farooq
His personal name was Umar, Farooq was his title, and Ibn-ul-Khattaab, his family name. He was born in 581 AD in Mecca, and belonged to a noble family of the Quraish. He was a renowned businessman and used to lead trade delegations to Syria and Iraq.
Hazrat Umar Bin Khattab was the second successor of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. During the ten years of his Khilafat, the Islamic state expanded and progressed extensively. Peace and prosperity prevailed everywhere in the state.
Hazrat Uthman Ghani
Hazrat Uthman Ghani, may Allah be pleased with him, was elected the third Khalifa by the council appointed by Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, shortly before his death. He belonged to the well known family, Banu Umayya of the Quraish. His lineage can be traced back to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in the fifth generation before him. His generosity for the poor was so well known that he earned the title Ghani.
Hazrat Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, was then martyred on June 17, 656 AD, at the age of eighty-two, while he was reciting the Holy Quran. He certainly sacrificed his life for the integrity of Khilafat and in the best interest of Islam.
Hazrat Ali Bin Abi Talib
Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, was the son of the Holy Prophet’s uncle, Abu Talib. He was born in Mecca about twenty years after the birth of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. His father, Abu Talib and mother, Fatima were two persons who took care of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in his early childhood.
Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, was chosen to be the fourth Khalifa on June 23, 656 AD, six days after the death of Hazrat Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him. In those days, there was no law and order in the city of Medina. Therefore, Hazrat Ali moved the capital from Medina to Kufa in Iraq.
After his election, he faced the popular demand of Muslims including the influential companions of the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, like Hazrat Talha, and Hazrat Zubair, may Allah be pleased with them both, to immediately punish the murderers of Hazrat Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him.
