About This Book

Umar ibn Abdul Azeez (may Allah have mercy on him) was an Umayyad caliph whose rule lasted only about two and a half years, yet he left behind guiding principles that rulers and leaders have been able to learn from ever since. In this book, Abdul Malik Mujahid retells stories from his life in his own words.

The author explains that he chose only the stories he felt would help readers improve themselves, and he presents Umar's character as a model for every part of society. He wrote with a wide readership in mind, including scholars, students, lawyers, judges, educators, preachers, business owners, and lawmakers.
