But the Muslims when time came nominated Him as the fourth Caliph. The first one was Prophet’s ally, Hazrat Abu Bakr, the father of his remarkable young wife Ayisha, who too played a positive role in her earlier times. Again, I do not wish to support the schism between Sunnis and Shi’ite or Shias, but am for brotherhood, peace in Islam that it stands for.
