About the Book: Beautifully translated by Nasiruddin al-Khattab, this book is a detailed biography of one of the closest companions of RasoolAllah (PBUH).

‘Umar Ibn al-Khattab’s life began in Jahiliyah and ended in the Golden Age of Islam. We can learn much from the history of this second caliph of Islam, who was faced with unprecedented challenges but met them successfully within the framework of shari’ah and in accordance with the true spirit of Islam.

‘Umar (RA) is a model of an ideal Muslim leader; one who felt responsible before Allah for the well-being of all those under his rule, including his troops, non-Muslim subjects and even animals. This book offers a window into an exciting and important period of Islamic history and reminds us that our strength comes not from wealth, but from our submission to Allah and our commitment to the path of Islam.
