Fatwa Superiority Abu Bakr Siddiq-Mufti Muneeb ur Rahman

The “Fatwa on the Superiority of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq” by the eminent Pakistani Mufti Muneeb ur Rahman is a meticulously researched legal and theological treatise aimed at establishing the unanimous and definitive superiority (Afḍaliyyah) of the first Caliph, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq over all other Companions and the entire Ummah. Grounded firmly in the Qur’an, authentic Sunnah, and consensus (Ijma’) of the Ahl as-Sunnah wal Jama’ah, this Fatwa defends the classical Sunni position on the rank of the Companions. It serves as an authoritative doctrinal and polemical resource for reaffirming the core Sunni creed (Aqeedah) regarding the status of the Rightly Guided Caliphs and is highly regarded in South Asian academic circles.
