Omar ibn al-Khattab
(Radi'Allaho Anho), the second of the Rightly Guided Khaliphs of Islam, made an
inconceivably large contribution not only to the geographic spread of Islam, but
to the establishment of justice and intellectual freedom as well.
His reach extended as far as Persia, Egypt, and Anatolia, and he defeated
towering empires such as the Sassanids and the Byzantines.
Such a rapid
expansion of the Islamic world would merit acclaim in itself, but Omar (RA) did
not stop there; his purpose was not to conquer lands in the name of Islam, he
sincerely wanted to establish peace and justice in accordance with Allah's way.
Thus, he began what would be known as the Islamic judicial system, improved the
economic system, developed a calendar, and united the Muslims
Imam Awlaki brings to life
stories from the golden era of Islam in a dynamic style and instills in the
listeners a deep love for the Beloved of Allah (P.B.U.H.)
