UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB (vol 1 & 2)

Umar ibn al Khattab, the second caliph of Islam, faced tremendous struggles. This 2-book biography of Umar (RAA) presents a model of an ideal Muslim leader, one who felt responsible before Allah for the well being of 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.
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 framework 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, and 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.
