Summary: This book presents the life and achievements of Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), the second Caliph of Islam, renowned for his justice, strength, and leadership. It traces his early life in Makkah, his conversion to Islam, and his close companionship with the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). The narrative focuses on his decade-long caliphate (634–644 CE), marked by major territorial expansion, establishment of an effective administrative system, and the development of key public services such as courts, markets, and welfare programs. Umar’s governance was guided by fairness, simplicity, and accountability, earning him the title al-Farooq (“the one who distinguishes between truth and falsehood”). It concludes with the circumstances of his martyrdom, his legacy as one of history’s most just rulers, and his enduring influence on Islamic governance and ethics.
