Second Caliph Umar R.A, His Personality, Era and Reforms

Abstract

It considers the personality and era of Al Farooq Umar Ibn AlKhattab, the second caliph and the best of the noble Companions after Abu Bakr Al-Seddiq may Allah be pleased with them all. The life of Al Farooq Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) is a shining page of Islamic history, which outshines and supersedes all other histories. The history of all nations put together does not contain even a part of what his life contained of noble conduct, glory, sincerity, jihad, and calling others for the sake of Allah. To present this issue we began to review his life and times in the reference books and resources, and we analyzed it, verified it and put it in order so that it would become accessible to the readers, so that they may benefit from it in their lives by following his example, and that Allah may bestow upon them success in this world and in the Hereafter.
