Hazrat Omer

Early Life

The mission of the Holy Prophet was still in the early stage. Islam was still weak and helpless. The chiefs of Mecca were up against it. One night the Holy Prophet stood in the Kaaba, lost in thoughts. Presently he raised his hands and turned his eyes heavenward. "Lord!" he prayed, "make Islam strong with either of the two men, Amr bin Hisham or Omar bin Khattab."
The prayer was instantly granted. Allah chose Omar to serve Islam. Amr bin Hisham was to die as Abu Jahl (Father of Ignorance). But Omar was to become a great pillar of strength for Islam.
He was born in 583 A.C., about forty years before the great Hijrah. Omar was twelve years younger than the Holy Prophet. He was the son of Khattab. His mother's name was Khatmah. He came of the Adi branch of the Quraish. Banu Adi was held in great respect. They acted as the agents of the Quraish in talks with other tribes. They also acted as judges in their disputes.
In early youth, Omar got training in methods of warfare. In his youth he was a famous wrestler and orator, and a spirited person. He was one among the few people in Mecca who knew reading and writing before Islam. His main occupation was business. He also learnt the art of public speaking. From the outset, he showed unusual courage and frankness of manner. Eager to learn, he was earnest and thorough in whatever he undertook. These qualities won him a name in the country rather at an early age. As a trader, he had to travel to other lands. These travels brought him a wide knowledge and a deep understanding of men and things.
Character

He was a very pious Muslim. His success lay in two things-fears of Allah and his love for the Holy Prophet

    Even before his birth, Ali’s life was already pre-determined to be surrounded by Islam and its culture. His father, prior to his birth, had already dedicated his life to serving Islam through a pledge or agreement he made with God to have a son. His parents were so committed to this pledge that after his birth he was taken to Mecca, and brushed against the wall of the Ka’ba, to receive his blessings. Ali was given the name, Abir ul Islam, which stands for perfume of Islam to signify the standing he would have in the Islamic culture. His childhood seemed a very happy one…
