Siddiqui (name)

Template:Abu Bakr Siddiqui (Arabic: صدیقی) is a Muslim family name or surname found in the Middle East and South Asia representing the male-line descendants of Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Arabic: (رضي الله عنه) ابو بكر الصديق), the first Caliph ( Arabic: خليفة ḫalīfah / khalīfah ) and an early companion and a close friend of the Prophet Muhammad (Arabic: محمد). Siddiqui is sometimes also rendered as Siddiqi, Siddique, Siddiquee, Siddighi, Sadighi, Seddighi, Sidiki, Siddiki, or Siddiquie. .

Origin

The name "Siddiqui" derives from the word Siddiq, which means "truthful" in Arabic. "Al-Siddiq" was the title accorded to Abu Bakr (Arabic: ابو بكر الصديق), by the Prophet Muhammad. The surname "Siddiqui/Siddiqi" signifies ancestry from Abu Bakr Siddiq.

Abu Bakr belonged to the Banu Taym clan of the Quraish. The genealogy of Abu Bakr joined that of the Prophet Muhammad in the eighth degree in their common ancestor Murrah ibn Ka'b. Four generations of the family of Abu Bakr Siddiq had the distinction of being the companions (Sahaba) of the Prophet Muhammad namely Abu Bakr, his father Uthman Abu Quhafa, his eldest son Abdu'l-Rahman and his grandson Abu Atiq Muhammad. No other family had this honour. Many Siddiqui families descend from this particular lineage. On the other hand, the Siddiqui families who are the progeny of Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, the youngest son of Abu Bakr descend from three generations of Sahaba. The lineage of Abu Bakr did not continue through his middle son Abdullah ibn Abi Bakr who was wounded during the Siege of Taif and later died of these wounds.

In South Asia the name Siddiqui indicates membership in the Shaikh community, one of the four communities that make up the Ashrafs. Converted communities using the surname include Muslim Kayasths and Bisati. The Manihar claim a link to Shaikh Siddiqui.

According to Tareekh-e-Burhanpur by Muhammad Abdul Hakeem Siddiqui, the Siddiqui family of (Burhanpur) Pasrur are descendants of Shaikh Burhan Shah. Shaikh Burhan Shah was a direct descendant of Abdu'l-Rahman ibn Abu Bakr, the eldest son of Abu Bakr.

Hazrat Soofie Saheb Siddiqui and Hazrat Moulana Abdul Lateef Qadi Siddiqui are direct descendants of Abu Bakr Siddique through his youngest son Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr.
