Hazrat Umar's Amazing Life: A Lighthouse of Justice and Wisdom
Introduction: One of Prophet Muhammad's closest colleagues, Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab, often called Umar the Great, served as the second Caliph of Islam (peace be upon him). His life is a brilliant illustration of piety, justice, and knowledge. Let's take a brief look at Hazrat Umar's amazing trip. Early Life: Around 584 CE, Hazrat Umar was born in Mecca into a prominent Quraish family, which was part of the Quraysh tribe. His reputation before converting to Islam was one of knowledge and might. Umar had tender feelings, especially for his family, despite his hard appearance. Conversion to Islam: After becoming an opponent of Islam, Hazrat Umar experienced a significant metamorphosis. One day, displeased with Islam's growing sway, he decided to go up against the Prophet Muhammad. He met someone en route who told him that his brother-in-law and sister had converted to Islam. Startled, he visited their home and discovered them reciting passages from the Quran.
