Siddiqui
Siddiqui are a Muslim Sheikh community, found mainly in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, and in expatriate communities in Saudi Arabia and Middle East Region. They claimed to be the descendants of Abu Bakr Siddiq.
The title "As-Siddiq" was given to the first Muslim Caliph, Abu Bakr, by Muhammad. His title "Siddiqui" is an attributive form of the Arabic As-Siddiq. He was a companion and a father-in-law of Muhammad through his daughter Aisha. The literal meaning of Siddiqui is "The Truthful". After the death of Muhammad, Abu Bakr assumed power, ruling over the Rashidun Caliphate from 632 to 634 CE. In 634 CE, Abu Bakr fell ill from a sickness and died shortly thereafter. He was succeeded by Umar.People
