Umar ibn Al-Khattab (RA) was one of the most powerful and influential Muslim caliphs in history. He was a senior companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He succeeded Abu Bakr (RA) (632–634) as the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate on 23 August 634. He was an expert Muslim jurist known for his pious and just nature, which earned him the epithet Al-Farooq (the one who distinguishes – between right and wrong). May his quotes inspire you to be a good person and an individual of action.
