Al- Farooq- The Life of Omar the Great

The Second caliph of Islam, Omar ibn al-Khattab, was not just one of the greatest personalities in the Islamic histsory, but was also one of the greatest people all together throughout times. His life leaves a rich treasury of memorable deeds and thoughts to be shared with people in all times to follow. His initial enmity towards Islam stands in dire contrast to the great services he would render later in his life. His harsh manners during his youth are turned to the most compassionate behaviour after he became the holder of the office of the caliphate. An outstanding person of enormous wisdom and strength. A person to know more about, if you want to know more about Islam
