Man Man Man..I like your obsession about Hazrat Umar R.A..and I completely agree to the thing you have written in your signature..After Holy Prophet (SAW),Hazrat Umar R.A is the greatest persona ever to emerge in Islam and Islamic state..The brightest star among his companions,and the best administrator this world has ever seen...May Allah provide our present rulers with only 10% of Umar bin Khattab's qualities and character.Amen

Hazrat Umer( R.A) is my favorite personality and the work you have done for compiling his life history and achievements in this way is also appreciatable. His most impressive personality trait that inspires me a lot is, his passionate love for Islam, that was the reason that non-believers always feel threatened from him. We should try to follow him in every aspect of life.

God bless you.

who would be more Just than Caliph Umar (with an exception of Syeddina Muhammad sww)

Around 19 Hijri, Hazrat Omer (RA) received the complaint through internal spies (appointed for keeping an eye on Governors and Officials) against Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (RA) who was leading a Military expedition then and "Chief Commander of the Islamic Army",
that he (RA) had rewarded a poet Ashas Bin Qais around 10,000 Dirhams for offering some verses in the praise of Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (RA). Hazrat Omer (RA) after receiving the complaint ordered "that Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (RA) be arrested then and there (on Warfront) and he should be bound by his own Turban and be discharge from his rank and command imediately". Hazrat Obaida (RA) carried out the order and called Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (RA) in an open gathering. The dialogue which ensued:

Hazrat Obaida (RA): How did you manage this amount?

Hazrat Khalid Bin Waleed (RA): Silence.

Hazrat Bilal (RA): Answer the question, how did?

Hazrat Khalid (RA): Out of my own pocket.

After these questioning he was released and sent Medina before Hazrat Omer (RA) for further questioning:

Hazrat Omer (RA): How did you get so much wealth to distribute it as a reward?

Hazrat Khalid (RA): Through Spoil of War.

Hazrat Omer (RA): If your share in Spoil is found to be unjustified and inequitable, then?

Hazrat Khalid (RA): I would deposit the unjustified amount in Baitul Maal (Bank).

After a check and further enquiries around 20,000 Dirhams were found exceeding and unjustified in Hazrat Khalid (RA)'s share which were later deposited by Hazrat Khalid (RA) in Baitul Maal. Another allegation was that Hazrat Khalid (RA) used to delay the Audit of Military Expenditure and Budget which was disliked by Hazrat Omer (RA). Subsequently Hazrat Khalid (RA) was dismissed from the position of the Commander and could never become Commander again but participated in Wars as only a soldier.

{Tareekh Ibn-e-Khaldun Chapter Prophet, Pious Caliphs and Calipahte of Muawiya wa Aal-e-Marwan, Volume 1 and 2}.


On another occasion during a Military Expedition two Generals namely Mugheera Bin Shaiba and Abu Bakara developed some dispute. There was already some animosity between Mugheera and Ziad Bin Abiya (relative of Abu Bakara), and the latest dispute added fuel to the fire. During a prayer, Mugheera was stopped by Abu Bakar from leading a prayer on the context that Mugheera was seen in an Objectionable Position by both Abu Bakara and Ziad so Mugheer cannot lead a prayer. Both of them also written a complaint against Mugheera and sent it to Hazrat Omer (RA) Medina. Hazrat Omer (RA) called both the parties in Medina and started proceeding in the case. During the proceedings the witnesses disputed their statement and Ziad Bin Abiya could not prove the statement against Mugheera which resulted in 30 Whips on Ziyad. The lashing was itself done by Hazrat Omer (RA). During the lashing Mugheera tried to intervene but he was severely reprimanded by Hazrat Omer (RA) who said to Mugheera, be silent, had this testimony been proper you would have also been punished.

{Tareekh Ibn-e-Khaldun Chapter Prophet, Pious Caliphs and Calipahte of Muawiya wa Aal-e-Marwan, Volume 1 and 2}.

Gandhi & the Islamic Connection
March 30, 2009


M.K.Gandhi’s views and movements are lauded all over the world. He was almost regarded as a ‘saintly’ personality and the word Mahatma that is attributed to him,speaks for itself. But a lesser known fact about Gandhi’s ‘saintly’ demeanour is the inspiration he drew from Islamic teachings. Gandhi drew inspirations from the glorious Quran, the blessed life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and that of his companions. Of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) he said in an interview with ‘Young India’ -

“I wanted to know the best of one who holds today undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind… I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet’s biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life.”


An even lesser famous quote is the observation of Gandhi about the caliphate of Hazrat Umar (r.a), one of the prominent companions of the Prophet (pbuh) and the second Caliph in Islamic history. Gandhi said


“The best thing to happen to India would be to be reigned by a dictator as just and upright as Umar, RA.” One would wonder why a non-violent exponent of Gandhi’s stature should regard the rule of a dictator as the ‘best thing’.

Syeddina Moula Ali (ra) describes his(Umar) migration and honorable attitude toward the pagans:

"I know none other than Umar who migrated without concealment. When he was ready to travel, he put on his sword, put his bow on his shoulder, took his arrows in his hand and went to the Kaaba. Leading members of the Quraysh were sitting in the courtyard of the Kaaba. Once he had walked around the Kaaba seven times, he performed two prayers at the rock of Abraham. He came one by one to the pagans sitting in circles and said,
“Faces have been polluted. Whoever wishes to leave his mother childless, his children orphaned and his wife a widow, let him follow me in this valley.” None of them had the courage to prevent him "


(Suyutî, History of the Caliphs, Tarikh al-Khulafa, Beirut 1986, 130).

Once, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (ra) while sitting with his companions, praised Abu Bakr by calling him the truthful ("as-Siddiq").

One of his companions got astonished by this remark and inquired if he (the Imam) really meant what he said. Upon this Imam al-Baqir replied,

"Yes Abu Bakr is the truthful and whoever does not give this attribution to him, then may Allah make that person (who did not give the attribute) helpless on the day of resurrection"


Source: Kashful Ghumamah, vol.2, p.174]


Imam Jaffar as Sadiq (ra) expressed his support to Abu Bakr and Umar:


Once wife of Imam Jaffar as Sadiq asked him about Abu Bakr and Umar.
He replied, "I support them”.
Then he said to his wife,” you should support them also."
His wife replied, "So should I say to my creator when I meet Him, that it is your order to support Abu Bakr and Umar."
The truthful Imam Jaffar replied, ” Yes."

Hazrat Umar's Consummate Conformance

when Hazrat Umar was made caliph, a stipend was fixed for him from the public treasury. Gathering the people in Madina, he said:

"I used to do business but now you have made me busy in this work. So now what should be the means of living"?

People made suggestions for different quantities.

Hazrat Ali (May Allah honour his face!) was sitting quietly. Hazrat Umar asked him,
"What's your opinion"?
He said, "Whatever may suffice you moderately".
Hazrat Umar liked this opinion, and accepted it and a moderate quantity of stipend was fixed.

Once in a majlis in which Hazrat Ali , Hazrat Usman , Hazrat Zubair and Hazrat Talha were also present it was proposed, that as Hazrat Umar lived in straitened circumstances his stipend should be increased, but no one dared to mention it to him.
So all these holy Companions went to his daughter, Hazrat Hafsa , who being one of the holy wives was also a Mother of the Faithful, and tried to learn of Hazrat Umar's opinion and get his permission through her; and at the same time requested her to keep them anonymous.

When Harat Hazfsa mentioned it to Hazrat Umar , signs of anger appeared on his face and he inquired for knowing the name of those who proposed it.

But Hazrat Hafsa said: "First let me know your opinion".

Hazrat Umar said: "Had I come to know their names, I would have changed their faces, that is, I would have given them such severe punishment that scores of it would have shown on their faces. Well, tell me what was the Holy Prophet's peace and blessings be upon him best dress in your house"?

She replied, "Two ochre-coloured pieces which he used to put on, on Friday or when any delegation came".
Then he asked, "What's the finest food that was being eaten in your house"? She said: "Our staple food was barley-bread. Once we overturned the ghee-can and emptied and spread the drip of ghee on hot breads which the Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him was eating with relish and was also shared with others".
Then he asked, "Which was the best bedding in your house"?
She said, "There was a thick cloth. In summer we used to spread it in four folds and in winter half of it was spread and half we used as a covering".

Hazrat Umar said,
"Hafsa! Convey this thing to those people, that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has set a measure by his conduct and has considered hope (Hereafter) sufficient. I too will follow his holy self peace and blessings be upon him The example of my two companions' (the Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him and Hazrat Abu Bakr ) and myself is like that of those three men who may walk on the same road.

"The first man went with a fare and reached his goal. The second too followed the first; he walked like him and reached the first. Then the third man started walking. If he walks like them (in their path) he will meet them and if he walks contrary to their method, he will never be able to meet them".

Hazrat Umar’s Admirable Manner with his Fellow Companions and his Subjects

Boldness of Hazrat Umar's Subjects

In spite of his being such a brave and awesome statesman and sovereign, the behaviour of Hazrat Umar ^ had encouraged the people to speak so freely, candidly and bravely before him. This can be estimated only by looking at various historical incidents.

Accordingly, after the conquest of Iraq most of the august men had married Christian women, because there is permission to wed scripturary women. Hazrat Umar wrote to Hazrat Huzaifa al Yamani that he disapproved of such things. The latter replied: "Is this your personal opinion or a legal order"? (Shari) Hazrat Umar wrote that it was his personal opinion. Hazrat Huzaifa wrote back: "To follow your personal opinion is not incumbent upon us.”

A Bedouin’s Candidness

A similar incident is reported of a Bedouin. When a severe famine occurred in Arabia during the Farouqi regime, the great Farouq's condition became strange: as long as the famine lasted he did not eat mutton, fish, ghee or any other delicious thing. Fearfully he used to invoke. "0 Allah! Destroy not Mohammed’s peace and blessings be upon him ummah as a punishment of my evil deeds!”

The statement of Hazrat Umar's slave, Aslam, is from the worries that exercised Hazrat Umar' s mind during the period of famine, it appeared that if the famine did not come to an end he would die of this sorrow, although he had made matchless arrangements for reducing the rigours of famine.

During that spell of famine came a Bedouin and he recited the following verses before him,
"O Umar! If there is pleasure, it is the pleasure of Paradise. Clothe my daughters and their mother. By Allah! You'll have to do this".
Harrat Umar said: "What will happen if I don't do as you say?
The Bedouin said: -"You'll be questioned regarding me on the Day of Judgement and you will be flabbergasted. Then you'll have to go either towards Hell or towards Paradise".

Hearing this, Hazrat Umar wept so much that his auspicious beard was drenched in tears.
Then he said to his slave,
''Give my shirt to him for I have no other thing with me at present:'


Farouq-e A'zam, the Commander of the Faithful, possessed such an awesome personality and was so valiant and brave that great monarchs, Caesar and Khosroe used to tremble on hearing his name, but he was so kind-hearted that on seeing such persons in distress his heart used to melt and accusing himself for their distress he used to weep profusely.

An example of Hazrat Umar's Kindness and Wisdom

Once he was patrolling at night. A woman, sitting on the terrace, was reciting some verses. One couplet meant:

"The night is dark and goes on lengthening and my husband is not near me with whom I may play".

Her husband had gone for jihad and, love-torn, she was singing such painful couplets. Hazrat Umar was very much aggrieved. He remarked:
"I have inflicted a great severity on the women of Arabia. Then he came to Hairat Hafsa (his daughter) and asked her as to how many days a woman could live without her husband.
She said: "Four months:'
Next morning he issued an order that no Solider should live away from home for more than four months.


His Sorrow over the Condition of A Decrepit Man

Once he was feeding some men. He saw that a man was eating with his left hand. He went to him and asked him to eat with the right hand. The man said that he had lost his right hand in the Battle of Muta. This melted Hazrat Umar's heart. He sat down near him and began to cry and said:

"Alas! Who help’s you to make ablution? Who washes your head and who clothes you"?
He then appointed a servant for him and himself provided for him all the necessary things i.e. Home help in today’s welfare state.

In short, Hazrat Umar Farouq throughout his life practised the prophetic sunnah and established an example and a procedure for the ummah to bring the prophetic pattern into practice, implying that this is called true following and consummate conformance.

Besides this, orally too he used to be very careful in insisting upon the common run of Muslims generally and the commanders and generals of the army particularly that they should at no moment be away from submission to the Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him and that they always keep this rope around their necks.

Insistence upon the Commanders of the Army to Obey the Apostle

Accordingly, when he appointed Hazrat S'ad bin Abi Waqqas who is reckoned amongst the high-ranking Companions of the Chief and Pride of the Two Worlds peace and blessings be upon him and who as a relative was also the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him maternal-uncle, as the commander of the army for dispatch to Iraq, as advise he told him: -"O Sa'd! May this thing, with regard to Allah, not deceive you that you are called the Holy Prophet's peace and blessings be upon him maternal-uncle and Companion. Undoubtedly, Allah Most High does not efface evil with evil but removes evils through good deeds. Indubitably, there is no relation between Allah and anyone; if there is any relation and connection, it is of obedience.

The noble and the ignoble among the people are all equal unto Allah's sight. Allah is the Lord of all of them and all are His slaves; they have had superiority over each other by reason of their individual abstinence, and those ranks that are with Allah they can be achieved by obedience. Be careful of that which the Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him remained constant. The Prophet peace and blessings be upon him came and passed away, leaving us behind. Grasp his command as necessary, for that command is the true command. This is my only advice. Save yourself from leaving it. If you leave it and show disinclination towards it, your deeds will be wasted and you will become one of those people who are involved in loss.'

Similarly he once said,
"Allah Most Holy sent the Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him on a mission. We people confirmed in him and then conformed to him. He demonstrated by practice upon every thing which Allah Most High ordered him to do. He peace and blessings be upon him continuously gave alms to the poor until Allah Most High sent death to him in this condition. Then Hazrat Abu Bakr became his khalifa (successor). He continued to act upon the Holy Prophets peace and blessings be upon him Sunnahs until Allah Most High sent death to him and then made me khalifa.”

Insistence Upon Hazrat Umar
To Conform To The Sunnah


After Siddiq-e Akbar had stated his will, he sent a man to Hazrat Umar to summon him and told him many things in which he especially insisted upon him to conform to the Sunnah. Accordingly,


he said: "O Umar! The ‘malicious’ nursed malice against you and the ‘beloved’ loved you, and this is a tradition continuing from ancient times, that enmity and antagonism are cherished against goodness".

Hazrat Umar said: "I have no need of khilafat".

Hazrat Abu Bakr said:

"But the office of caliphate requires you. You have seen the sovereign of the Two Worlds peace and blessings be upon him, you have been in his company, and you have seen that the Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him always gave preference to us over his self, so much so that we used to give to the members of his household the remainder of the gifts that he used to give us. And you have seen me and have lived with me. As for me, I have followed that noble being who was before me peace and blessings be upon him. By Allah! I am not talking to you in sleep, as if in a dream, and I am not giving these depositions whimsically. Undoubtedly I am in the way in which there is no crookedness.

O Umar! You should know, no doubt there are some rights for Allah in the night which He does not accept in the day and there are some rights in the day which He does not accept in the night. And on the Day of Judgement whoever's balance of deeds will be heavy will be so on account of such conformance to the Truth; and its right too for being heavy is that there may be nothing in it but truth. And on the Day of Judgement the people whose scales of deeds will be light will be the same who must have followed falsehood. Obviously balance of deeds can only be the thing which may imbalance with nothing but falsehood. No doubt the very first thing I warn you about is your own inner self, and I also order you to abstain from the people. The people have begun to cast glances on very lofty things and their skin of desires has been inflated with air. But now there will be safety from lapses for the people.

So you now prevent the people from falling into errors, for now they will always entertain apprehension from your side and they will fear you, as long as you fear Allah. This is my will, and I salute you".


Thereafter Hazrat Abu Bakr invoked blessings for Hazrat Umar. He also invoked that


"O Allah! Make Umar one of those good caliphs who may follow the instruction of Your Prophet of Mercy peace and blessings be upon him and follow those who are good after Your Prophet peace and blessings be upon him may follow him and reform the subjects for him".

Love with Syeddina Muhammad(pbuh)

Amr ibn al-As said, "There is no one I love better than the Messenger of Allah."

Abda bint Khalid ibn Ma'dan said, "Khalid never went to bed without remembering how he yearned for the Messenger of Allah and his Companions among the Muhajirun and Ansar, and he would name them. He said, 'They are my root and branch, and my heart longs for them. I have yearned for them a long time. My Lord, hasten my being taken to You!'"

It is related that Abu Bakr said to the Prophet, "By the One who sent you with the truth, I would be happier if Abu Talib (the Prophet's uncle) were to become Muslim than if Abu Quhayfa (his own father) were to. That is because the Islam of Abu Talib would delight you more."

Umar ibn al-Khattab told al-Abbas, "Your becoming a Muslim is dearer to me than al-Khattab becoming a Muslim because it is dearer to the Messenger of Allah."
