Quotes of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab Part Two

image of quotes of umarFollowing on from the quotes of Umar Ibn al-Khattab, I’ve decided that it is time to add 20 more of the quotes of Umar Farooque (R.A). Especially as the last post was very popular and unique.

Unique in the sense that those quotes weren’t copied and pasted from other articles similar to the quotes of Umar. Not that any of my other posts are plagiarised ?

This is also the continuation of the Umar Series, a section dedicated to the quotes of Umar and other attributes of the great man inspired by the televised programme broadcast over Ramadan entitled ‘Omar Series’ from MBC.

As well as having quotes of Umar, there will also be further posts on quotes by other great Sahabas such as Ali Ibn Abu Talib, Abu Bakr and Uthman.

As I’ve mentioned in the other post about Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, these quotes are taken from the biography of Umar Farooque by Prof. Masud ul-Hasan. Which you can buy Here.
