Omar, may God be pleased with him, said: We are done, we're done.

Was Omar really killing the girls alive before Islam?

The first woman Omar married - may God be pleased with him - was Zainab bint Mazoon, the sister of Uthman and Qudamah, and she bore him Hafsa, Abdullah and Abdul Rahman the Great, as stated in the beginning and the end by Ibn Kathir: He told Al-Waqidi, Ibn Al-Kalbi, and others, that Umar married Zainab bint Maz`oon in the pre-Islamic period, the sister of Othman bin Maz`oon, and she bore him Abdullah, Abd al-Rahman al-Akbler and Hafsa, may God be pleased with them, the birth of Hafsa was five years before the mission, as it was mentioned in Al-Mustadrak and others on the authority of Umar, may God be pleased with him, who said: Hafsa and Quraysh were born to build the house five years before the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was sent, and for this reason she is the eldest of Umar’s daughters, and he did not kill her alive, so why should he be kill alive someone who is younger than her?

His hatred of Muslims before his conversion to Islam

The first position

He was one of those who resisted the call of monotheism that Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, came with, and persecuted those who believed in it from the Banu Uday bin Ka’b, Ibn Ka'b, so he was among those who were harmed by Umar's conversion to Islam, the closest of people to him, His sister Fatima, her husband Saeed bin Zaid bin Amr bin Nufail, and the mother of Saeed Fatima bint Ba’ajah, Among those who narrated Omar’s torturing them was the slave girl of Bani al-Mu’amel while they were alive from Bani Uday bin Ka’b, so Omar would beat her till he became bored, He said: I apologize to you, that I left you nothing but bored.. So Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq bought her and freed her.

The second position and (The beginning of his thought in Islam)


What was narrated on the authority of Umm Abdullah bint Abi Hathma, who said: By God, we will travel to the land of Abyssinia, and Amer bin Rabi’ah bin Ka’b has gone on some of our needs, When Omar Ibn Al-Khattab came until Ali stood - while he was on his side - she said: We used to suffer from him a calamity that hurt us and hardened us. She said: so He said: It's to go, Umm Abdullah. She said: I said: Yes, by God, we will go out in God's land, you have harmed us and oppressed us, until God makes us a way out. She said: He said: May God be with you, and I saw in him a tenderness that I did not see before, then he left, and he was saddened - as I see - our departure. She said: So Amer came with his need, so I said to him: O Abu Abdullah, If you saw Omar earlier, his tenderness and sadness for us, he said: Do you hope for his conversion to Islam? She said: I said: Yes, he said: The one you saw does not become Muslim until the donkey of Al-Khattab surrenders.

The first story

And another story is narrated about the reason for his conversion to Islam - may God be pleased with him - which is what Imam Ahmad narrated in his Musnad, he said: Abu Al-Mughirah told us, he said: Safwan told us, he said: Shuraih bin Ubaid told us, he said: Omar said: I went out to meet the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - and found him he had preceded me to the mosque, I got up behind him, listening to what the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - was saying, the dialogue that took place between him and himself after hearing the Qur’an from the Messenger of God, so he opened Surat Al-Haqqah, So I became astonished at the composition of the Qur’an, so I said: By God, this is a poet. So the Messenger of God recited: {Verily, it is the speech of a noble Messenger (40) and it is not the saying of a poet. Little do you believe.} So I said, a priest, so the Messenger of God (Nor does the saying of a priest, little of you remember (42) a revelation from the Lord of the worlds...) Omar Ibn Al-Khattab said, “Islam fell in my heart at every site.” Excluding the previous hadith: Al-Haythami said: “Al-Tabarani narrated it in Al-Awsat and its narrators are trustworthy, However, Shuraih bin Ubaid did not realize Omar.” His death - may God have mercy on him - attributed him to Ahmed as well.

The Third story

Omar went out one day, wearing his sword, wanting Muhammad, so Naim bin Abdullah met him on the road, and when he knew his destination, he said to him: By God, you have been deceived, O Omar, do you see Bani Abd Manaf? letting you walk on the ground when you killed Muhammad, and it is better for you to rise up your family first, for your sister Fatimah and her husband, Saeed Ibn Zayd, have embraced Islam, Omar immediately went to them and they had Khabab bin Al-Arat teaching her the Qur’an. When they heard his voice, Khabab hid and Fatimah hid the paper they were reading. Omar asked her about what he heard about their get out of their religion, He left the religion of the fathers, followed Muhammad and brutalized his sister's husband, so his sister got up to stop him from her husband, so he hit her and slit her head: He stroked her head until blood flowed from her head, and she said: Yes, we have embraced Islam and are safe, so do what you want. When he saw what he had done to his sister, he regretted and asked her to give him the paper they were reading to see what Muhammad had come and swore to her by his gods that he would not harm it, so she coveted his Islam, And she said to him, "You are unclean because you are a polytheist, and only those who are purified can touch it." So he got up and took a bath, and she gave him the scroll, and when he read a face from it, he said: How good and honorable these words are, and when Khabbab heard that from him this, He came out of his hiding place and said: "By God, Omar, I hope that God has singled you out for the call of His Prophet, Yesterday, I heard him say, “Oh God, support Islam with Abu Al-Hakam bin Hisham, Yesterday, I heard him say, “Oh God, support Islam with Abu Al-Hakam bin Hisham, or with Omar bin Al-Khattab, then Allah, Allah O Omar, so he asked him about the location of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he told him, He told him that he was with his companions at Al-Safa in the house of Al-Arqam bin Abi Al-Arqam, So he went to them and knocked on the door, and a great companion looked at the door gap, and Omar Ibn Al-Khattab found him gloating his sword, Hamzah said: Then, O Messenger of God, if he wants something good, we will do it for him, And if he wanted evil, we killed him with his sword, so the Messenger took him from the compound of his robe and pulled him tightly and said: What brought you, O Ibn Al-Khattab? By God, I do not see that it ends until God brings you down a catastrophe, Omar said, O Messenger of God, I came to you to believe in God and His Messenger and what came from God, so the Messenger of God say Allah Akbr, and the Muslims say Allah Akbr.

The story of his Islam loud it out

And Omar’s conversion to Islam was a good beginning for Islam and Muslims. Omar asked the Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, are we not on the truth, O Messenger of God, whether we die or live? He said: Yes, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul, you are upon the truth, whether you are alive or dead. Omar said: So why hide? by Him who sent you with the truth, you will be expelled.” So the Messenger of God and the Muslims came out behind him in two rows, one with Hamza and the other with Omar, And they have a lot: the dust of the road that their feet stirred up when walking - as if it were heavy with flour, so they entered the Sacred Mosque, and the Quraysh looked at them with gloom, Neither salit: raunchy of them, nor a wise man, would dare to approach two rows in which these two were, and the Muslims prayed around the Kaaba in front of the eyes of the Quraysh, from that day on, they became a visible force, and the Meccan society became two sects, a Muslim sect and another polytheistic group, and that is why the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, nicknamed Umar as al-Faruq, because God differentiated by him between two covenants in the Islamic message, the appearance of the Muslims in Makkah and the public practice of their rituals around the Kaaba was a pain in the throat of the Quraysh, as I was afraid that its youth would be tempted by this religion, and they would be attracted to it in particular, and that its rituals have become practiced in front of them, so the Quraysh deliberately harmed the Muslims of the Kaaba, disregarding its sanctity, this abuse did not prevent Muslims from covering the Grand Mosque and praying in it.

 His Jealousy

Al-Bukhari narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah who said: “While we were with the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, when he said: “While I was sleeping, I saw me in Paradise, If a woman performs ablution next to a palace, I said: Who is this palace for? They said: To Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, so I mentioned his jealousy, I gave my back to the place)) Umar cried and said: From you jealous, O Messenger of God?!” (Bukhari, Hadith: 3680).

We benefit from the following story of our master Omar Ibn Al-Khattab

1 - The one who has one of his relatives or children who is not a believer (unbeliever) or has little faith in comparison with him. Shame on you that you despair of his/her religion or belief in God, and remember the story (If the donkey of Omar became Muslim) and also remember that as God Almighty said (Do not guide the one you love, but God guides whom He wills) You are a cause, not a result.


2 - Omar Ibn Al-Hattab was frightening to Muslims, because of his physical characteristics that indicate strength, and he was also loud in voice - may God be pleased with him and his satisfaction.

4 - Opposites met in Omar until he embraced Islam (violence and hardship “his story with his sister and her husband” and the tenderness of his heart upon hearing the Qur’an, It is said that there is a period in the life of each of us called "earthquake" during this period your being is squeezed between contradictions and you do not know to settle on any of them, like the period of adolescence.” Even if the matter is resolved between you and yourself, you announce what you have reached and this is your nature.


5- He was a polytheist (multiple gods) for 26 years of his life, and the Muslims around him were numerous and no one could harm him because he was not a Muslim, not only because he was strong, If this happens now, someone who was not a Muslim or a believer in the midst of the crowd of believers, they will utter him with all the strength they are given, otherwise they will care if he dies in disbelief and they forgot that God guides one man through you, among the Muslims: alienated people throw children into the houses of God, even when they grow up, they decide not to step into it and not to enter it. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best agent in Muslims who have come close to claiming divinity.


6 - Of course, whoever lives on something usually dies on it, look at the number of battles he entered into after he embraced Islam, He, may God be pleased with him, was pleased with him, strong in structure, strong in courge, What he did against the Muslims in the pre-Islamic era, he did in the interest of the Muslims after Islam.

The subsequent study talks about the effect of listening to the Qur’an on the brain

Then on the whole body physiologically, and I remind you of His saying, come (false, false forelock): (the frontal cortex), the forelock is the front of the head called the prefrontal cortex, which modern science has proven responsible for decision-making and the basis of rational thinking so that you can create something as big as lying and forgetting In front of the brain that hears the Qur’an and the whole body is affected by it, and God is Most High and All-Knowing.


Were their minds oscillating between the right and personal interests? This is what made them come back to listen again and again to consult with themselves, and they are the people of eloquence, God knows what he want from his servents.
