The Portrait
What Abubakr asks of its bearer
At the opening of Abubakr stands Alif: primary orientation toward being first. Beneath the surface, Ba brings an interior that holds and shelters; Waw brings an interior that connects. These are the hidden weathers of the name. The closing letter is Ra: the life resolves through motion. The bearer is asked to inhabit each letter consciously, until abu Bakr is not what the name says but what the life shows.
Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (RA) — the Prophet said: 'The most generous of people in companionship and wealth toward me was Abu Bakr.'
