About the Book: The Kingdom of Justice: Stories from the Life of Umar, recaptures the rules of justice and equality under the law that pervaded the life of the first Islamic community. The example set by the Prophet (blessings of Allah and peace be upon him) – Fatima, too, would have been punished – was followed faithfully by all his followers, but the six episodes from the life of the second Caliph, Umar bin al-Khattab, give a rich taste of what it meant to live under the sovereignty of One God alone.
Intended for 11-14-year-olds, it may yet inspire them to strive to build afresh our present-day world in the same mould
