no different tribes here is a glance:

Apostasy Movement
The new converts had not learnt the spirit of Islam. For centuries, the Arabian tribes knew no authority. Islam disciplined them and put them under certain moral obligations. Drinking and gambling of pre-Islamic days had been prohibited. Their wild spirit rebelled against this moral control. They wanted a chance which they got after the death of the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wassallam), and considered it the right time to throw off the yoke of Islam. That was the time when virtually the whole of Arabian peninsula was under the grip of civil war. It was the firm determination of As-Siddiq al-Akbar which permanently quelled the rebellions. Professor Hitti says: "The short khilafat of Abu Bakr was mostly occupied with the so-called Ridda (apostasy) wars". "The Arabs, throughout the peninsula," says another historian W. Muir, "were relapsing into apostasy". But As-Siddiq al-Akbar did not lose heart and faced the situation with utmost courage and Iman.

The rebellion started with the refusal of the tribes to deposit Zakat fund in the Baitul Mal (Public Treasury) as was done during the days of the Holy Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehe Wassallam). Hadrat Abu Bakr called a meeting of his "Shura" (Advisory Council) and sought its advice. Most of the Companions did not consider it advisable to take action for the time being because of the wars against false prophets and major revolts. But Hadrat Abu Bakr was firm on taking strong and prompt action so that others may have a lesson. He therefore declared, "I swear by Allah I will fight alone, if others do not support me, against everybody whosoever refuses a single kid due on him in Zakat." He launched a big campaign without delay. He collected the troops in Medina and divided them into eleven battalions, each under the command of an experienced commander, and sent them out to different parts of Arabia. His instructions for them were to call rebels to Islam first, and if they failed, to fight them. Some of the rebel tribes submitted to Islam without fighting. Wars were waged against those who remained adamant.
With the help of these battalions As-Siddiq al-Akbar crushed all the forces of rebellion, disorder and apostasy. He actually showed wonderful courage and ability in suppressing the movement. The apostasy movement which affected the whole of Arabia besides Makkah and Medina, was totally suppressed within a year and Islam was once again the only religion of the Peninsula. When the rebellion was subdued and Islam was re-established, As-Siddiq diverted his attention towards outside Arabia.

Q: In your opinion what was the most important task that faced Abu Bakr on becoming caliph?Briefly discuss.
Ans: The Prophet (S.A.W) before his death had appointed Usamah bin Zaid (R.A) to lead an expedition against Syrians (Byzantians) in order to avenge the death of his father Hazrat Zaid bin Haris (R.A) in the battle of Mutah. When Usamah was about to leave, the news of the demise of Holy Prophet (S.A.W) came and departure of the army was postponed. This last expedition of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was fulfilled by Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (R.A) as his first task after becoming the first caliph. Usamah left for Syria and only after 40 days returned to Madinah with a great victory.
Refusal to pay Zakat:
The issue of the refusal to pay Zakat was a greatest of the moral courage of Abu Bakr as the first Caliph of the Holy Prophet. After the demise of the Holy Prophet many surrounding tribes of Medina which had offered allegiance to Islam, sent a deputation to Abu Bakr with the proposal that their agreement with the Muslims had ended. A fresh agreement was necessary in which they should be relieved from the obligation to pay Zakat. Abu Bakr argued that Zakat was a fundamental injunction of Islam and had to be paid. Seeing their proposal being rejected these tribes decided to forego Islam. Their decision was to attack Medina when the main Muslim army was in Syria. They attacked at night but found Abu Bakr with his army ready to fight. The apostates were defeated; many tribesmen died while others fled in confusion. After this battle many tribes sent their delegates to Medina, offered allegiance and paid Zakat.

Apostasy Movement:
After the Prophet’s death, some of the people rose in revolt against the authorities in Medina and renounced Islam. Abu Bakr, without any delay, launched an expedition against this movement. After collecting the troops at Medina, he divided them into eleven battalions each with an experienced commander, and sent them in eleven different directions to crush these revolts. He instructed each commander to first invite these tribes to Islam. If any refused to comply they were to be attacked. Some of the tribes accepted Islam but the others were stubborn and were dealt with harshly. All campaigns were successful and Abu Bakr was able to re-establish control of Islam throughout the Peninsula.

False Prophets:
In the last days of the Prophet’s life some misguided people arose to claim prophet hood. When Abu Bakr was elected as the Caliph they started their preaching openly. Among these false prophets were Tulaiha, Aswad Ansi, Musailamah and Sajjah. Tulaiha belonged to the Banu Asad tribe in the northern Arabia. An army under Khalid bin Walid was sent which met them at Buzaka. After a fierce battle Tulaiha’s army surrendered and he himself fled to Syria. He embraced Islam during the time of the second Caliph.
Aswad Ansi belonged to the Ansi tribe in Yemen. He was an ugly man who kept his face veiled all the time. He was nicknamed ‘’the veiled prophet’’. Being leader of his tribe he revolted with the cooperation of the neighbouring chiefs. He was the first false prophet who collected a large army in open revolt against Islam. He was defeated and killed by the Muslims.
The most dangerous of the false prophets was Musalima. He belonged to a tribe of central Arabia. His tribe accepted him as a prophet. Abu Bakr sent Shurbhil and Ikramah to crush the rebellion; later Khalid bin Walid joined them. Musalima,s army was defeated after a fierce battle at Yamamah in 633AD.Musalimah was killed. In this battle about 800 Muslims were martyred. Amongst them were 360 Huffaz (memorizers of the Holy Qur’an).
Sajjah was a woman who belonged to the Bani Tamim tribe. She claimed to be a prophetess and succeeded in mustering a large following. When Musalimah heard about her claim he invited her to Yamamah. They decided to join forces and later Musailma married her which ended her adventure of prophet hood and she lived in obscurity for the rest of her life. When the Muslims conquered Iraq she entered the circle of Islam along with her tribe.

i think it was a challenge as after battle of Yamama only 25 to 30 companions lived who had memorized the Holy Quran so it was a challenge as Quran also had to be preserved by the caliph

sir plz ans this toooooooooooooooooo

Answer: The period of Hadrat Umar's caliphate undoubtedly is the "Golden Age" of Islam in every respect. He was a man of extraordinary genius who not only moulded the destiny of the nation but made history of his own. He followed the footsteps of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam) to the fullest extent. It was Umar under whose rule Islam became a world power and the mighty empires of Persia and Byzantine (Eastern Roman) crumbled before the arm of Islam. Within ten years of his glorious rule, the whole of the Persian Empire, Syria, Palestine, Egypt and a part of Turkey came under the banner of Islam and the nations entered the fold of Islam. He was not only a conqueror but also an exemplary administrator who originated an efficient system of administration, and thus he was the real founder of political system of Islam (to be discussed in brief in the next chapter). He enforced Divine Law (Shari'ah) as the code of a newly formed International Islamic State; he safeguarded the internal safety by introducing the police force: he gave stipends to the poor; he constructed cantonments and forts for the safety of Islamic armies; he founded new cities for the growth of Islamic culture and civilisation; he improved agriculture and economics of the Islamic State; he founded the educational system in an Islamic State; in brief he was the founder of a great Islamic State.

your answer is good but lacking references about Holy quran......8/10....... now compare with this..

Answer: Belief in the book revealed by Allah is one of the most important articles of Islamic faith. It is mandatory to believe that they are revealed and send down by Allah to his messengers and Prophets. Belief in the books is of two levels that are general and particular. The general belief in the books of Allah entails believing in all the books sent down to any of Allah’s messenger whether we know them by name or not.
As far as the particular believe in the books of Allah, we must believe in books or scriptures that are mentions in the Holy Quran by name. They are the Sahifas (scrolls) of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) mentioned in the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Ala verse number 19. The Torah of Hazrat Musa (A.S) mentioned in Surah Al-Maidah verse number 46. Zabur of Hazrat Daud (A.S) mentioned in Surah An-Nisa verse number 163. Injeel of Hazrat Isa (A.S) mention in Surah Al-Maidah verse 47 and the Holy Quran of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) mentioned in Surah Al-Anaam verse number 19. This means that a Muslim cannot be righteous and true believer without having true faith not only in the Quran but also in all other scriptures revealed before him (S.A.W). Allah says in the Holy Quran: “It is He Who has sent down the Book (the Qur’an) to you (Muhammad SAW) with truth, confirming what came before it. And he sent down the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel).” (3:3) All the previous books either Torah or Injeel which were revealed before Holy Prophet (S.A.W) to Hazrat Musa and Isa (A.S) has been corrupted and Holy Quran is the only book which was written, preserved and compiled without any corruption into one book form, because Allah took the responsibility of guarding the Holy Quran by Himself. As Allah says in the Holy Quran: “Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption)” (15:9)
Allah revealed the books to the humans by secessions of Prophetic messengers. The book or scripture revealed to the Prophet is a point of reference to learn the religion and obligations towards God and self-human beings. Allah revealed Himself and explains the purpose of human creations through revealed books or scriptures. These books were guiding light which the messengers received to show to their respective people or a particular community; but the glorious Holy Quran which was revealed to our beloved Holy Prophet (S.A.W) who is the seal of the Prophets. The guidance of the Holy Quran is not for particular people or nation but instead is the guidance for all humanity or all mankind. As the Holy Quran says: “The month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong).........." (2:185)
The uniqueness of Quran has been mentioned in various place of the Quran for instance: “This is the Book (the Qur’an), whereof there is no doubt, guidance to those who are Al-Muttaqûn [the pious and righteous persons who fear Allah............." (2:2). the message from the God to his Prophets in the form of books or Sahifas, they are not allowed by men to oppose or over step them. No divine scripture or book exists today in the original language and form because they were abrogated and changed that is why they were not protected from corruption. They underwent distortion, addition and omission. In this regard Allah says: “Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands and then say, "This is from Allah," to purchase with it a little price! Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for that they earn thereby." (2:79)
Amongst these divine books the only divine, authentic and complete and un-corrupted book which exists on this globe today is the Holy Quran revealed by Allah to our beloved Prophet (S.A.W). The Holy Quran is confirming scripture that is before it and stands as a guardian over it. As Allah says in the Holy Quran: “……Has not a clear sign come to them (confirming) of all that in the former books of revelation?” (20:133)
