THE COMPANION: UMAR BN KHATTAB

UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB (584-644 AD)

Umar the stern but Just
The rectify of error
The husband of Atika bint Zayd al-Adawiyya
The father of prominent Companions
And her daughter is the mother of the believers -Hafsah
And the father of Abu Abdur Rahman - Abdullahi, who follows every prophet tracks path.

He is excellence in administration
He formed the public treasure
Defeated the vast Persian and humiliate the Roman empire
He willed the Jerusalem back to the Muslim
He became the first founder of judicial System.

He is the zeal for martyrs
Plain and simple, an unostentatious life
A dutiful ruler and a vigilant to the needs of the subject
Soft to the meek , sterns to the unpretentious
Umar's whips is more terrible than others swords.

Amīrul Mūminīn¹, Leader of the Muslim, commander on the battlefield
He introduced coins with inscription of Shahādah²
He pronounced the Hijrah Era beginning from prophet's Hijra 622
And established the Diwan³, where income and expenditure are administered 
In a Sense, he is the practical founder of Islamic state.

He was assassinated by Abu Lulu
Died as martyr he prayed for
Lied beside the prophet who said:
Whoever hates Umar hates me and Whoever loves Umar loves me.
In fact, “Angels speak upon his tongue.”
