"Al-Farooq" is a comprehensive biography of the second Caliph of Islam, Umar ibn al-Khattab (R.A), a prominent figure whose acceptance of Islam brought about revolutionary changes in Islamic history. The book highlights how his opinions were repeatedly endorsed and sanctioned by divine will, and during his caliphate, he not only conquered territories and cities but also won the hearts and souls of people. Hazrat Umar (R.A) transformed the directions of thoughts and ideologies, creating a revolution in beliefs and ethics. Despite extensive conquests covering millions of square miles, no citizen was allowed to be killed, and even trees, children, the elderly, women, and religious leaders were protected.
The book is divided into two parts:
- Part One: Covers Hazrat Umar (R.A) lineage, upbringing, acceptance of Islam, migration, caliphate, and conquests.
- Part Two: Focuses on the administrative system, division of the state, various national arrangements, intellectual achievements, and personal morals and habits.
"Al-Farooq" serves as an invaluable guide and a treasure trove of knowledge for Muslims of all walks of life, offering insights into exemplary leadership and character.
