Abu Bakr, inspired by the Prophet’s example and this spiritual truth, recognized a significant social reality: that a nation, confident in its own strength, believing it has a vital message to share with the world, and that the world must heed this message, would not be held back by any power, no matter how great. He saw that the combination of these two truths – spiritual and social – was the foundation of the success of nations throughout history.
