In this talk on Umar Ibn al Khattab, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi enlists the blessings (fadhail - praiseworthy traits) and virtues of this great man to have walked the face of this earth.

'Umar Ibn al Khattab is an embodiment of various achievements and this has been due to the following traits he exhibited in times of ease and hardship. This is the man whose name is synonymous with justice and truth, strength and courage, and asceticism and godliness. He is the ultimate when we think of piety, observing and fearing Allah, and crying out of fearing Him.He  is renowned for his intuition and intelligence, of being conscientious, and of conquering the desires of the self.

Ibn al-Jawzi said, “You should know that ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, is one of those for whom the good has preceded from Allah. He was honored both in Islam and in the pre-Islamic period.” (The Enlightenment 1/415)

May Allah be pleased with ‘Umar ibn Al-khattab and may we emulate and imbibe the qualities of ‘Umar ibn Al-khattab and all the guided caliphs and the companions of our prophet.
