Moderation-Wasatitya- in Religious Speeches, the Sermon of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Allah blessed him, in His Assumption of the Caliphate as a Case

Abstract

Almighty Allah singled out the Islamic nation for moderation (Wasatiya) over other nations, and moderation is a characteristic of the committed nation, and it can achieve good for the life of a Muslim, his family and the community in which he lives. Especially in our current era where there are many disputes, discord and suspicions, in most issues in society, and the best example of Wasatiya is Wasatiya of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Allah blessed him, regarding his wisdom, fairness, sermons, and dealings with the Companions, may Allah bless them.

 The research aims to know the types of sermons, the life of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, and to devise the characteristic of Wasatiay in the sermon of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Allah blessed him, and the study relied on two approaches:

First- The historical approach, by examining the history of Islam, and the life of caliphate Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, Allah blessed him.

Second- the descriptive and analytical approach, in which the sermon containing the aspect of Wasatiay was described and analyzed, and the researcher reached several results, the most important of which are:

-Humility is one of the commendable attributes that every Muslim should have in this capacity, and we find this attribute in the Abu Bakr sermon. and

- Finally, the researchers recommend that the characteristics of moderation in speeches are deducted in the sermons of Islam and specifically among the rightly guided caliphs, because they contain Islamic qualities that we need today, such as submission, humility, counseling, victory, openness, faith in judgment and destiny, ordering good and forbidding evil, compliance, and clarity.
