The name 'Abu Fuhayra' is not appropriate in the list of eight freed slaves by Hazrat Abu Bakr (Ra.). It should be 'Amir ibn Fuhayra' instead of 'Abu Fuhayra'. Arabic names should be handled and written correctly to prevent any confusion.

Abu Bakr's birth name

Which is the birth name of Abu Bakr, Abd Allah or Abd Al Ka'bah? MahmoudAbbasAlDilfti (talk) 00:49, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad(peace be upon him)

In your article in many places you did not wright the word (peace be upon him) with the name of the Prophet(peace be upon him) and it is a disrespect of the Prophet, it is compulsory in Islam to pray for the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) when using there name.So,it is a request that you fix this mistake. 121.91.60.54 (talk) 05:01, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but Wikipedia represents a variety of views, including those that do not believe in Islam, and we are required to present articles from a neutral point of view. lavender|^{(formerly HMSSolent)}|lambast 05:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The last paragraph of first section "Sunni Muslims revere Abu Bakr as the first of the rightly-guided caliphs and the greatest individual after the prophets and messengers. Shia tradition considers Abu Bakr an usurper of the caliphate and an enemy of the ahl al-bayt." is proposed to be shifted at the top introduction paragraph to start the introduction by mentioning opinion of different sects, and not by one sect.

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. PianoDan (talk) 23:21, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Abu Bakr's love and respect for Ahle Bayt

This thread is dedicated to discussing the edit on Abu Bakr's relationship with Ahle Bayt, which was reverted by @Albertatiran The purpose of this discussion is to examine the accuracy and relevance of the information and come to a consensus Umayyad-387 (talk) 16:15, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Primary sources are not reliable for this type of information, nor is a technically secondary source like the sixteenth-century Islamic scholar Mulla Ali Qari.

What we basically need is a modern reliable academic source conforming to WP:SCHOLARSHIP, in order to establish that the information is WP:DUE to include here. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 16:38, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
