The second caliph of the Islamic State and a close Companion of the noble Prophet, Umar ibn al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, Umar was renowned for upholding justice whether it concerned his governors of the Islamic territories or the poorest and weakest of society. His leadership was based on humility; his lifestyle was simple and frugal. This book brings to life the events of Umar's life and his unique character, offering insight into the one whom the beloved Prophet named "Faruq" (the person who can see the difference between right and wrong, between darkness and enlightenment).
