The Battle of Zhu Qissa (632) was a confrontation between the forces of the Rashidun Caliphate, led by Caliph Abu Bakr As-Siddiq himself, and those of rebel apostates. This battle occurred within the context of the Wars of Apostasy. The victory of Abu Bakr As-Siddiq held significant symbolic importance on multiple levels; it marked the first triumph in the Wars of Apostasy, solidified his position as the Caliph, and ultimately gained acceptance of his legitimacy among a majority of Muslims in the Rashidun Caliphate to continue ensuring the Wars of Apostasy [2],[3],[4].
