MCQ Detailed View

The real name of Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) was Abdullah ibn Uthman. He was born into the noble Quraysh tribe of Makkah and later became known by his kunya (honorific title) “Abu Bakr.” The title Abu Bakr is commonly interpreted to mean “the father of a young camel,” but it became widely recognized as his identity out of respect and distinction.

Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A) was also given the title “As-Siddiq” (the truthful) by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) because of his unwavering belief, especially during the event of Isra and Mi'raj (the night journey). He was the closest companion of the Prophet (SAW), the first adult male to accept Islam, and later served as the first Caliph of the Muslim Ummah after the Prophet’s passing.

The other options listed do not refer to his real name. “Abu Turab” was a title of Hazrat Ali (R.A), while “Sadiq e Akbar” is an honorific title for Hazrat Abu Bakr (R.A), not his actual name. Saraqa bin Jasham was a different historical figure altogether.
