Umar ibn al-Khattab

Al-Farooq the one who distinguishes (between right and wrong)

He was champion wrestler.

After his conversion to Islam, he remembered with shame and regret killing his young
daughter while he was still a "pagan" (female infanticide was an accepted practice
among the Arabs). He is quoted as saying, “I cried when I remembered digging a hole
and burying my daughter. Whilst I was putting her in, she reached up and brushed dirt
from my beard."
Umar was most adamant in opposing Muhammad (PBUH) and very prominent in persecuting
the Muslims.
When he converted to Islam, Umar was a mature man of 30-35 years of age.
He was a “strong, stubborn man whose protected none dare attack,” thus the Prophet's
And he said to Quraysh if there is a tough man who is dare to forbid us from pray openly in front
of al-Ka’ba .
Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) asked Allah to support Islam religion by those two Umar’s (Umar
bin al-khattab or Abu-Jhl) and Allah accepted his hope by convert Umar to Islam.
When him take any path evil will take another path because he afraid from Umar.
Muhammad (PBUH) died in Medina in 632. Umar is said to have at threatened to kill anybody
who said that Muhammad (PBUH) had died. He was calmed when Abu Bakr said, "If anyone
worshipped Muhammad (PBUH) , then know that Muhammad (PBUH) is dead, but if anyone
worshipped Allah, then Allah is living and does not die.
During Umar's reign, the Islamic empire grew at an unprecedented rate, taking Mesopotamia
and parts of Persia from the Sassanids (effectively ending that empire), and taking Egypt,
Palestine, Syria, North Africa and Armenia from the Byzantines. Many of these conquests
followed the watershed Battle of Yarmouk in 636, when a Muslim army of 40,000 decisively
defeated a Byzantine force numbering 120,000, permanently ending Byzantine rule south of
Asia Minor.

Umar died in 644, the victim of an assassin's dagger. Umar's killer (Abu-Lu'lu'ah) was a
Persian slave who is said to held a personal grudge against Umar. He stabbed the
Caliph six times as Umar led prayers in the Masjid al-Nabawi mosque in Medina, then
committed suicide.
Umar died two days later, and was buried alongside Muhammad (PBUH) and Abu Bakr.
