Abu Eesa Niamatullah – Defender Of the Faith: Umar Ibn Al-Khattab

About this lecture

In this lecture from his series on Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Sheikh Abu Eesa Niamatullah delivers a sweeping portrait of Umar ibn Al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) — covering his dramatic conversion to Islam, his unparalleled qualities as a leader, the remarkable occasions on which the Qur'an was revealed affirming his judgement, and his deeply moving death. Drawing on authentic narrations and the testimonies of the Sahaba themselves, the lecture makes a compelling case for why Umar stands as one of the greatest figures in Islamic history and why reflecting on his life is itself a form of dhikr.
