HISTORY OF ISLAM – UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB

This is the second volume from this series, which deals with the life of Umar ibn al-Khattab (عمر ابن الخطاب), the second of the Four Rightly-Guided Caliphs. The evaluation of Amir al-Mu’minin Umar al-Farooq, may Allah be pleased with him, and his far-sighted policies is captured in a statement attributed to the Prophet (S), ‘There were in the nations before you “inspired people”, and if there is any one of them in my nation, it is Omar.’
