What challenges Hazrat Abu Bakar (RA) faced when he became the first caliph?
Answers
The major challenges he faced during his caliphate were that muslims turned away from islam and they came up with islamic methods. They made halal the forbidden and started to avoid zakah etc. Furthermore men or even woman came up claiming prophethood and all were ready to contest it. Muslim army was sent away on an expedition and until they returned madinah was virtually defenseless. But however Allahs plans are always the true ones. Madinah remained safe and muslim armies returned safely. Muslim armies now had to fight and bring an end to all hypocritical armies or the new kuffar armies that had sprung all around arabia. This wasnt easy but in the end Muslims prevailed however lots of them were martyred in the battles fought. Later the biggest challenges were the Romans and Persians. They had mighty armies and powerful empires. They may have fought each other and may have been exhausted but really in terms of size muslims usually were inferior in size duting battles and furthermore Arabs feared persian might. Morale definetly plays a major part in wars and battles. Yet, with all those challenges Abu Bakrs caliphate bore it all and came out on top.
