He is Allah...
The First: Nothing is before Him.
The Last: Nothing is After Him.
The Most High: Nothing is Above Him.
The Most Near: Nothing is beyond His Reach.
He Begets Not, Nor was He Begotten.
The Creator, Provider, and All-Rich.
The All-Seer, The All-Knower.
He is One and Self-Sufficient.
He is not Nature, or any part of it.
He ascended above His Throne, High above the Seven Skies.
No Vision can encompass Him, but
His Grasp is over all vision...

ذَلِكُمُ اللّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لا إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَاعْبُدُوهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ
"Such is Allaah, your Lord, none has the right to be worshipped but He, the Creator of all things. So worship Him (alone), and He is the Wakeel (Trustee Disposer of affairs, Guradian, etc.) over all things."
[Quran, Ch. 6, 102]
لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ البَصِيرُ
"Nothing Is Like Unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer"
[Quran, Ch. 42, 11]
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ - اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ - لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ - وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
"Say: "He is Allah, One. Allah He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is non comparable to Him.''"

Introduce to Islam
Narrated 'Aashia, may Allah be pleased with her, that: The Messenger of Alaah (peace be upon him) said:
"If someone tries to introduce into this faith of ours (Islam) something which is not part of it, it is to be rejected."
Lessons to be learned from this Hadith:
1. The religion if Islam is built on submisson and following, not invention and adition;
2. Islam does not permit any innovation and Islam encourages holding fast to the Sunnah;
3. Any deed that is notin accordance with the Sunnah will be rejected and no reward will be given for the doer of that deed.

Abu Bakr's (raa) Reversion to Islam
Abu Bakr (raa) was the first male to accept Islam.
Two main characteristics that enabled this to happen were:
1. His indication to do good.
2. His friendship with Muhammad (S.A.W)
As-Siddiq (The Truthful)
He was given this title after the night journey of the prophet (S.A.W). When the Mushrikeen of Quraish were mocking the prophet (S.A.W), and claiming that this journey was false.
They said to Abu Bakr (raa) "Do you know what your friend has said, he claims he went from Makkah to Jerusalemand then to the heavens in one night".
Abu Bakr (raa) said"If he (S.A.W) said so, then it is true". This is the way he was given the title As-Siddiq.
The Trails he suffered from the Polytheists
Abu Bakr (raa) suffered from persecution of the polytheists as Allah's messenger (S.A.W) suffered. He underwent serious physical abuse. On one occation he was beaten up so severly taht it was difficult to distinguish his note on his face.
