UMAR IBN KHATTAB

(THE SECOND CALIPH OF THE MUSLIMS – THE BRAVEST MAN)
Umar ibn Khattab was 13 years younger than Mohammed (SAW). So, when
Prophethood was granted to Mohammed, Umar ibn Khattab was only 27 years old. Although
he was young but he was feared. He was known as the ambassador of Quraysh. He was a
strong man, powerful, well-spoken and very feared. As a young man he lived a life in the fast
lane. Before entering Islam, this man was farthest away from the teachings of Islam. he was a
womaniser and he was an alcoholic of the worst kind. In his early days, this man hated Islam
and the Muslims.
One day when Muhammed was praying, Abu Jahal came to him and struck him with
his stick or a part of his bow. This hurt Mohammed. Abu Jahal was a very strong leader of
Quraysh and Muhammed said nothing at that time but then came Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib
who was the uncle of Mohammed. Someone told Hamzah, “Do you know your nephew was
beaten up by Abu Jahal”. Hamza got so angry and so upset. He went to beat up Abu Jahal
and he told him, “How dare you speak to my nephew in these words when I too am amongst
his followers?”.
Umar, therefore, got very upset that his uncle, Abu Jahal, was beaten by Hamza. So,
as a result he decided to take the revenge from Prophet Mohammad. Umar ibn Khattab
walked out with his sword. He was angry, ferocious, vicious, and he had bad intentions
regarding the Prophet. When he walked out it was clear for all those who saw him that he was
angry.
On his way he met Nuaym ibn Abdullah. As he saw Umar, he asked him, “Where
are you going? Is everything okay?”. Umar said, “Today I am going to execute Muhammed.”
On this, Nuaym said, “You know you are a man. You are intelligent, you are a strong man,
and Quraysh respects you”.
Umar ibn Khattab said “I don’t mind, I will execute him and I will hand myself over
to his own clan. If I will be executed as a result of him, I don’t mind but I will sort this
problem out now because he has split Quraysh into two pieces. We don’t like that!”. Nuaym
told him that Umar had a problem in his own family as his sister, Fatima bint al- Khattab, had
accepted Islam. So Nuaym said “Why don’t you deal with them first? Your brother in law,
Saeed bin Zaid has become a Muslim too. They follow Muhammed, they support Muhammed,
so go and deal with them first.”
Umar ibn Khattab diverted and walked to the Fatimah’s home. He knocked on the
door. “Fatimah! Fatimah!”. At that time, there were three of them in the house. There was
Fatima, his sister; his brother in law, Saeed ibn Zaid, and a teacher who came to teach them
Quran by the name of Khabbab When the door was knocked, Khabbab hide with the
parchments as well. Suddenly, Umar ibn khattab flung the door open and walked in.
Umar ibn Khattab started beating up his sister and his brother in law. When he
noticed that she began to bleed, he immediately stopped. Fatimah was just crying and crying.
Then Umar said “Look! What were you people doing here?” Fatimah said, “We were
reading the Quran”. Umar got so mad. “Where is it?!? I want to see it!!!”.
By this time, Khabbab had come out and brought the parchment. Umar started
reading. The verses he read were the opening verses of Surah
Taha. “Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.”
On hearing this, Umar ibn Khattab was drawn to tears. He read these verses. He was
shocked and amazed. He said “Take me to Muhammed.” Imagine all the hatred, all the
enmity, and all the evil that he was engaged in prior to this moment. Suddenly it came
crashing to the ground and his heart was filled with instant love for Muhammed.
Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! may Allah grant us goodness.
From this story, we can take the lesson. This story teaches us to always remember to
make good prayers for those who sometimes might do something bad. We have to always
believe, Allah with us forever if we are in the goodness. Allahuma amin.
