Features seven stories from the life of Umar (RA), one of the four rightly guided caliphs, a best friend of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and an excellent leader. These stories emphasise the qualities of justice and mercy which were exemplified in the rule of the second Caliph.
Book review:
Seven stories in this short book, providing insight into Islamic values as expressed through Islamic law and justice, are based on historical accounts during Islam's first century and under its second Caliph, Umar Ibn Al-Khattab (usually called simply Omar in the West). Teachers/Librarians: There is material here for wonderful class discussions about such notions as: equality before the law; presumed innocence until guilt is proven;
does the punishment fit the crime etc.
Fits most states' guidelines to explore Islam's "code of ethics and justice, and its rule of law." 4th to 7th grades, Social Studies / Humanities
