The Battle of Zhu Qissa (632) was a confrontation between the forces of the Rashidun Caliphate, led by Caliph Abu Bakr As-Siddiq and a group of apostates. This battle occurred within the context of the Ridda Wars. The victory of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq proved symbolic in several ways, marking the first victory for the Caliphate in the campaign, somewhat helping in solidifying his position as the Caliph, and ultimately gained acceptance of his legitimacy among a majority of Muslims in the Rashidun Caliphate to continue the war against the resistant Arab tribes of the peninsular.[2],[3],[4]
