The Leadership of ‘UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB
~reference: Al-Islam wal Idarah, by Naceur Jabnoun
He was born around 586 AD. He came from tribe of ‘Ady ibn Ka’ab. His tribe was known by its knowledge, wisdom and intellect.
‘Umar had been known for his resolve and toughness. He was very knowledgeable, very educated and was also a successful trader. However, ‘Umar was more interested in acquiring knowledge than in gaining money. He memorized a lot of poetry and read a lot of history.
The knowledge of ‘Umar allowed him to be ambassador of Quraiysh. The knowledge of ‘Umar deepened his sense of responsibility and his concern about his people and what could help their welfare.
He was a very disciplined person and committed to law and order. He was very though on those who deviated from the norms of the society.
The knowledge of ‘Umar had also contributed to his strong feelings about his opinions and his arguments. ‘Umar was very adamant. He was among the staunch opponents of the early Muslims as he felt that the Muslims were dividing and weakening his people.
Prophet Muhammad used to say:
“O Allah! Strengthen Islam by the more lovable to you: Abu Jahl (‘Umar ibn al-Hakam) or ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab.” (Tarmidhi)
And, the history traced that ‘Umar had embraced to Islam and he became one of the successors of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.
