The Golden Series of the Prophet's Companions
The Second Caliph of Islam - Umar Bin Al Khattab (R.A) by Abdul Basit Ahmad
'Umar bin Khattab is one of the great Companions of the Prophet and second Caliph of Islam. He was so firm in his practice of Islam that he usually could sense what was right or wrong before the Prophet had informed others of it. He used to say his if a mule stumbles near the Euphrates River, I fear being questioned by Allah as to why I had not paved the road for it. This book sheds light on the life and struggle of the greatest example of a just ruler. We should follow his footsteps to maintain justice in every walk of our life. Book Size (cm): 17x24 0.123 kg

The book is very nice and I like mostly the chapter that focus on Umar's history as a caliph ! I can say that after reading the book, Umar (R) with no doubt was a first caliph who established a civilised community ! Read the book and discover that by yourself !
