The family:
Abu Bakr’s dad was Othman surnamed Abu Qahafa, and his mom was Salma surnamed Umm-ul-Khair. They had a place with the Bani Taim part of the Quraish.

Name:
The first name of Abu Bakr (R.A) was Abdul Ka’aba-the worker of Kaaba. A few youngsters were brought into the world by his folks before him, however, they didn’t get by. At the point when he was conceived, he was taken to the Ka’aba, devoted to the lords of Ka’aba, and named Abdul Ka’aba.
Adolescence(childhood):
Abu Bakr’s family delighted in opulence, and he was brought into the world with the so-called silver spoon in his mouth. No itemized accounts are accessible about the existence of Abu Bakr(R.A) during the time of young life. Like other Bedouin youngsters, he spent early years in the outside of the desert. He developed as a commonplace child of the dirt. The leanness and fruitlessness of the land around him was reflected in his build. He was lean and meager with a slim constitution, however was generally extremely tough and had serious areas of strength for a. He had the constancy and the strength of the stones around him. Like the brilliant sand of the desert, his face sparkled with a white and red coloring. By all norms he was lovely, and for his excellence he acquired the last name of ‘Atiq’.

Abu Bakr’s experience with the symbols of the Ka’aba. A story is saved that once when Abu Bakr was a kid, his dad took him to the Ka’aba, and requested that he supplicate before the symbols. His dad disappeared to go to another business, and Abu Bakr was abandoned with the symbols. Tending to a symbol, Abu Bakr said,”O my God, I am in need of beautiful clothes, bestow them on me.” The idol stayed apathetic. Then Abu Bakr(R.A) tending to another idol said, “O God, give me some delicious food. I am so hungry.” The idol stayed cold to the request. That depleted the tolerance of the youthful Abu Bakr (R.A). He lifted a stone, and tending to an idol said, “Here I am pointing a stone; in the event that you are a Divine being safeguard yourself.” Abu Bakr flung the stone at the icon, which broke into pieces. Abu Bakr left the Ka’aba. From that point, Abu Bakr(R.A) never implored the icons in the Ka’aba. This Abraham style of experience with the symbols made Abu Bakr(R.A) a Muslim on a basic level sometime before his proper calling of Islam.
