Umar Farooq - the Great Caliph
Umar Farooq is an important figure in Islamic history but little is widely known of him and the early history of Islam that he helped to shape. This accessible and intelligent biography takes us from Umar Farooq's childhood to his death and his subsequent legacy - which is a considerable one. In his biography, Dr Mohammed Abdullah Pasha focuses on Umar Farooq's ten years as caliph - ten years which saw the rapid growth of Islam as a religion and a genuine force for good. Using the Qur'an as his guide and based on the principles of equality, justice, freedom, and respect, Umar Farooq's achievements during this time were frequently innovative and radical, including the introduction of arguably the world's first welfare state. Dr Pasha's biography of Umar Farooq, the second and perhaps greatest caliph in Islamic history, is a fascinating and important read for Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
