Answer:

it was Abu Bakr

Step-by-step explanation:

After Muhammad's death in 632 CE, his friend Abu Bakr was named caliph and ruler of the Islamic community, or Ummah. Sunni Muslims believe that Abu Bakr was the proper successor, while Shi'a Muslims believe that Ali should have succeeded Muhammad as a caliph.
