Dear Muslims, Allah the Exalted has glorified Islam by great men who sacrificed their lives and money in support of this great Religion. Among them was the just imam al-Faruq ^Umar Ibn al- Khattab whom Allah guided his heart to Islam. The day he embraced Islam was a day of joy and triumph for the Muslims because he was a renowned man of strength, and courage. He is Abu Hafs ^Umar Ibn al- Khattab, the son of Nufayl, the son of ^Abdul ^Iza, the son of Rabah, the son of Qart, the son of Razah, the son of ^Udaiyy, the son of Ka^b, the son of Luaiyy; the just Caliph al-Faruq. He was one of those who embraced Islam in the early days of the Call of the Prophet sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and he was also one of those ten whom the Prophet told them the good news that they will be in Paradise. ^Umar was born thirteen years after the Year of The Elephant. He was tall, bald, and white in color with extreme redness, with thick chin hair, light hair on the side of his face, a full moustache, with intense redness in the whites of his eyes. He was extremely modest, unattached to this life, full with fear of Allah and far away from extravagancy. He was very strong and courageous and it was mentioned in the true Tawrah (Torah) that he was a strong amir. He embraced Islam at the age of twenty-six after forty men and ten women did. It was also said that he embraced Islam after forty-five men and eleven women did.
