Companions of the Prophet Series ÜNAL

LEADING COMPANIONS OF THE PROPHET

UMAR IBN AL-KHATTAB

Umar abandoned anything material and strove for Islam regardless of his life and wealth. This state pleased the Messenger of God. When he spoke with the Companions about Umar, he would say: “There is no angel on earth that does not pay respect to Umar.

There is no devil on earth that does not run away from Umar.”

Because Umar pleased God as well, one day God Almighty ordered His Messenger to tell Umar that he would be granted Paradise.

The Messenger of God told Umar this good news, and Umar felt extremely joyful and embraced the Messenger of God. Despite this good news, he never felt comfortable and certain about himself; he struggled for this holy goal until the last minute of his life.
