Modern Spiritual Wisdom

Ali ibn Abi Talib often remembered Umar in these words, "He was always right in his decisions (Rashid-ul-Amr)." This signifies that his opinion was correct in all matters and there was no chance of his being misled.

No one in history is comparable to the exalted and eminent rank of Umar ibn Khattab. He is truly one of a kind.

Umar ibn Khattab was the answer to the prayer of Prophet Mohammad in the court of Allah. During the early days of Islam, when Muslims were a minority in Makkah and faced the cruelty of infidels, the Holy Prophet prayed Allah to strengthen Islam through Umar.

After embracing Islam, Umar dedicated the rest of his life to the slavery of Prophet Mohammad and the cause of Islam. This companionship continued till the last breath of the Prophet.

The first-ever modern, social, economic and democratic state was established in the caliphate of Umar, at a time when the world had no concept of such a state. Even the present republic and democratic states of Europe cannot match his era.

Despite being a strict adherent of sharia, Umar ibn Khattab proclaimed that Allah resides within the inward of the believer.
