Answer:
Abu bakr umar killed
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Respected Sister in Islam, without an iota of a doubt,
Hadrat Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (r.a.) and Hadrat Umar al-Farooq (r.a.) were amongst
the ‘Muharjirs’ or those noble believers and companions who migrated along with
the Prophet (saws) from Makkah to Madinah.
This is what the Lord All-Knowing, All-Wise has Declared regarding these
noble companions in His Glorious Quran:
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 59 Surah
Hashr verse 8, in appreciation of the
early companions of the Holy Prophet (saws) who migrated for Islam from Makkah
to Medinah:
They (the companions who migrated from Makkah to
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 9 Surah
Taubah verse 100:
Allah was well pleased with those Muhajirs
(emigrants from Makkah) and Ansaar (helpers from Madinah) who were the first to
respond to the invitation of the Faith,
and with those also, who followed
them in their righteous conduct, and
they too, were well pleased with
Allah. Allah has got ready for
them Gardens, underneath which, canals flow,
and they will abide therein for ever. This is the Greatest Success.
It is indeed unfortunate and a pity that some misguided
people have chosen to invent lies and accuse some amongst the most eminent
companions of the Noble Prophet (saws) of an evil as grave as the murder of the
beloved daughter of the Prophet (saws)…… companions whom none other than Allah
and His Messenger (saws) have themselves chosen to Honor in this world and in
the Hereafter! Allah has specifically
mentioned that He is pleased with the early Muhajirs and the Ansaars and He
Himself has called them the Truthful and has prepared eternal Gardens of Bliss
for them.
Muslim history records that the noble daughter of the
Prophet (saws), Hadrat Fatimah (r.a.) binte Mohamed (saws) died a natural death
six months after the death of the Prophet (saws).
It is absolutely inconceivable and absurd (to say the
least!) for one who sincerely fears Allah and the Last Day to accuse such
eminent and noble companions as Hadrat Abu Bakr (r.a.) and Hadrat Umar (r.a.)
of the crime of murder….leave alone the murder of the beloved daughter of the
Prophet (saws)!!!
Allah is our witness sister, there is not even an iota of
truth in such malicious and baseless accusations!!!
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and well
wisher in Islam,
