We are living in tumultuous times, but they are no less tumultuous than the era of ‘Umar Ibn Al-Khattâb, whose life began in the Jâhiliyah 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 frame work of shari’ah and in accordance with the true spirit of Islam.
For those who would be leaders, this book offers the 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, women, infants, non-Muslim subjects and even animals. ‘Umar was a ‘hands on’ leader who kept himself informed and consulted scholars and experts before every major decision.
For the rest of us, this book offers a window into an exciting and important period of Islamic history, and it also reminds of an important lesson, that our strength comes not from wealth or money or status, but from our submission to Allah and our commitment to the path of Islam.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very detailed
Very detailed life of Umar ibn Al Khattab. The author can be a bit repetitive in his writing style – not sure if that’s because it’s been translated from Arabic but it feels like a spoken lecture that has been transcribed at points.
