Umar ibn Al-Khattab (Symbol of justice) Born into a respected Quraish family, thirteen years after the Messenger SAW was born A merchant by trade, a large man, a skilled horseman and was notorious for his fearsome temper Prior to becoming Muslim, he was a sworn enemy of Islam, openly hostile, and even physically violent, to those who embraced Islam Renowned for his strong sense of justice, and time proved that he judged himself harsher than he did anyone else Umar ra was the first person to publicly proclaim Islam, lead the first group of Muslims and worshipped before the Kabah in broad daylight, and this was the incident that gave him the title “Al Farooq” (he who distinguishes truth from falsehood) worship before the Kabah.

Once Prophet SAWS came with Abu Bakr RA and asked “Do you have milk for us to drink?”. He replied “I can’t let you drink their milk”. Prophet SAWS then requested for a virgin sheep, prayed to Allah and milked it. Abdullah ibn Masud was shocked to see this and very soon he understood Prophet SAWS mission and accepted Islam. Was the first one to recite Qur’an publicly in Mecca after the Prophet SAW. Allah SWT endowed him with a wonderful talent for reciting and understanding Qur’an to the extent that made the Prophet SAW direct his Companions to follow his example He was so near to the Prophet SAW that Prophet SAW told him, ‘My permission to you is that you may raise the curtains.’ This indicates his being allowed to knock at the Prophet’s door at any time during the day or night.

- The Third Rightly Guided Caliph – Al Ghani, The Generous; Dhun-Noorayn, Possessor of Two Lights (Caliphate: 644AD – 656 AD) Muslims in Medina were poor as they had left their worldly possessions in Mecca and depended on the Ansar (dwellers of Medina). A Jewish trader had taken advantage and sold water at a very high price. Uthman took the initiative and offered to buy the well at Rawmah from the Jew but was only allowed to purchase half of it. Uthman then told the Muslims to purchase enough water for two days each time it was his turn to sell water, thereby avoiding purchase of water when it was the Jew’s turn. The Jew was then unable to get any buyers and eventually had to sell his share to Uthman. The well then overflowed with its sweet water and provided the people of Medina with water at no price or account.
- UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB RA (Caliphate: 634AD – 644AD) In the 6th year of revelation, Umar was appointed by a group of Quraish men to kill Prophet SAW. He set out towards the Prophet SAW, sword in hand, ready to kill him. Enroute he met a friend who said “Why don’t you take care of your own family first and set them right?” It turned out that Umar’s own sister, Fatimah, and her husband Sa’id ibn Zaid, had secretly embraced Islam. He was so furious at this news, and went straight to Fatimah’s house where he heard the voice of his brother in law, reciting from the Qur’an. Umar swiftly started assaulting Sa’id, whereupon Fatimah threw herself between Umar and her husband in order to defend the latter. Umar struck her violently, until she was bleeding. Injured as she was, Fatimah defiantly told Umar “O Umar, you can do what you like, but you cannot turn our hearts away from Islam”. He asked Fatimah to show him what she was reading, She refused to give it to him by saying “No, for none but the purified persons. Go and take a bath and get yourself purified”. He did so, returned and Fatimah gave him the Qu’ran (verses of Surah Ta’ha written on the leaves of a tree). He was astounded. It was as if the Qur’an was addressing him directly! He continued reading, and verse after verse, the light of the Qur’an penetrated his heart. He then went straight to the house of the Prophet SAW and conveyed his admittance to Islam. The Prophet SAW and the Companions shouted with elation “Allahu Akbar”. Prophet SAW had also made a dua for this occasion – reported by Ibn Umar RA, the Messenger of Allah SAW said “O Allah, help Islam with one of the two men that is more beloved to You: Abu Jahl or ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab. And the more beloved of the two to him was Umar.”
- It was his fear of the question of “what will you say to your Lord” that motivated all his actions
