Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After Muhammad's death, the Muslim community chose Abu Bakr as his successor, making him the first caliph. This decision was based on his close companionship and support of Muhammad, rather than through general elections or searching the peninsula. The orthodox teachings of Islam were not abandoned, and Muhammad did not leave instructions for searching the peninsula for a successor. Khadija, Muhammad's wife, had already passed away before him and was not considered as his successor.
