Al Noor Mosque 2
Islamic Education
The architectural design of Al Noor Mosque has
influences of classical Turkish Ottoman architecture,
and there are elements that are similar to the Sultan
Ahmed Mosque in Istanbul (also known as the Blue
Mosque). The main entrance is flanked on both

sides by 2 graceful minarets which soar into the sky
at a height of 52 meters.

One of the eye catching features of the exterior is


the elegant cascading domes, of which there are 34
in total. The central dome is surrounded by several
half domes and finally at each corner by four small
cupola domes. The interior of the central dome

Introduction

Praise be to Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Bountiful, Who


taught by the pen; taught man that which he knew not. Blessings
and peace be upon our Prophet, Muhammad, who was sent as a
mercy to all nations, and upon his family and companions.

The Team of Authors of the Islamic Education curriculum is pleased to


present to our dear students the Islamic Education textbook in its new
form, praying to Allah, Exalted be He, that it will help them increase
their knowledge, expand their perceptions, and elevate their morals;
He is the All-Hearer, the All-Answerer.

In constructing the book, the unit-based approach has been adopted.


Each unit is comprised of a variety of subjects, representing, in an
integrated manner, the curriculum’s fields and themes, including:
the divine revelation; the Islamic creed; Islamic values and moral
teachings; Islamic rulings and purposes; the Prophet’s biography;
Islamic personalities; national identity and modern issues.

The book has sought to translate the curriculum standards into


comprehensive content, identifying the learning outcomes at the
beginning of each lesson under the heading: ‘This lesson teaches
me to.’

Each lesson consists of an introduction entitled: ‘I take the initiative


to learn’; a presentation under the title: ‘I use my skills to learn’; and
a conclusion entitled: ‘I organize my concepts’.
The students’ activities focus on three specific types: general activities
for all students under the heading: ‘I answer by myself’; enrichment
activities for distinguished students titled: ‘Enriching my experience;
and applied activities entitled: “I assess myself”.

The book strikes a balance between religious knowledge and


educational activities by providing students with the necessary
Islamic knowledge and concepts. At the same time, it has provided
them the opportunity of enriching and broadening their knowledge
through class learning activities.

The book aims to realize the attributes of Emirati students, strengthen


their loyalty and belonging to their homeland, protect them from
the ideas of extremism and terrorism; develop the skills of thinking in
particular, and those of the 21st century in general; and achieve the
requirements of sustainable development.

The book focuses on the religious knowledge and concepts that


students need to acquire. It links them to contemporary life issues
in accordance with the teachings of Islam, which are based on the
concepts of moderation, balance, tolerance, love, peace, cohesion,
harmony, respect for human dignity, renunciation of violence and
hatred, positivity, and individual and communal responsibility.
Moreover, the book attaches importance to developing performance
skills that relate to Islamic education and has given special emphasis
to Islamic values in order to build conscious personalities that adhere
to their religion, and take pride in their heritage, contribute to nation
building and open new horizons of cooperation to promote common
human values.
Moreover, the book comprises multiple and diverse learning
activities that contribute to developing critical thinking to learners.
This is a pressing contemporary requirement that fortifies students
against aberrant ideas and imprudent imitation. The book also
aims to develop creative and innovative thinking, which the UAE
seeks to achieve by 2021 through its vision entitled “United in
Ambition and Determination”, and to become one of the best
countries in the world. In addition, the book seeks to develop the
skills of problem-solving in real life and making the right decisions
in a timely manner. It helps to hone students’ capabilities and raise
their awareness of investing material and human potential and
preserving and developing the nation’s wealth.

We hope that the method of presenting topics will help our


students to utilize their learning methods of observing, thinking,
experimenting, applying, self-learning, researching, investigating,
and drawing evidence-based results.

As we present this book to our students, we pray to Allah that


the planned and sought benefits will be realized, by realizing the
learning criteria of Islamic education and developing thinking
and performance skills with a view to building a creative and
innovative generation, facing challenges and elevating the status
of its homeland.

May Allah grant success!

I take the initiative to learn


It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them

They are great creatures whose numbers only Allah, (‫)تعاىل‬, knows. He, , created
them from light, made heaven their abode and assigned to them the affairs of
His servants. Some of them are responsible for rain and disposing it to wherever
Allah wills, some are responsible for blowing the Trumpet (of the Hereafter), some
are responsible for taking souls out of bodies, some are responsible for keeping
a person safe while staying or moving, awake or sleeping, and some others are
responsible for keeping record of people’s deeds, both good and evil.

I reflect and answer:

govern the event (in this world by the Command of their Lord), 6. On the day when the first

dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof. 30. And after that He spread
the earth, 31. And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof, 32. And He
made fast the hills, 33. A provision and convenience for you and for your cattle. 34. But when

The verses include several topics, namely:

1 – The truth about the Day of Judgement:


In these holy verses, Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬swore by the angels to confirm to people the
truth of the Day of Judgement. He (‫ )تعاىل‬mentioned some incidents of the Hour
(preceding the Day of Judgement), including the First Blow of the Horn, when all
.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher

creatures die, followed by another blow at which they are returned to life and
gathered to be brought to account by Allah. Therefore, we must hasten to do
useful acts by which we obtain reward in this worldly life and be successful on the
Day of Judgement.

I think carefully and answer:

It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them
4 What will happen to creatures on the Day of Judgement?

4 Why do the hearts of disbelievers tremble and their eyes look downward on
the Day of Judgement?

4 What is the relationship between the justice and wisdom of Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬and the
judgement on the Day of Judgement?

their deeds on the Day of Judgement?

2 – The consequence of wrong-doers:

The holy verses narrated the story of Prophet Moses son of Imran, , when
Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬addressed him while he was in the Holy Valley (Tuwa in Sinai) and
revealed to him the order to go to Pharaoh to call him to be obedient to
Allah. Pharaoh was too arrogant and exceeded the limits in his disbelief and
oppression of people. So, Moses ( ) showed Pharaoh the great sign of the
truthfulness of his message: the staff, which turned into a serpent by Allah’s
will. When Moses picked it up, it turned back into a staff as it was before.
Yet Pharaoh disbelieved Moses ( ) gathered his troops and brought the
It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them

magicians to refute the truth and drive people away from believing Moses
( ) He claimed that he was the lord of humankind, so Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬punished
him with Hellfire in the Hereafter, and with drowning him in his worldly life.
Thus, he became a lesson for others.

I cooperate and explain

4 the method of Moses ( ) in calling Pharaoh.

4 the proof that was used to convince Pharaoh of the truthfulness of Moses
( ).

4 the reasons that caused Pharaoh to gather people and claim that he
was the Higher Lord.

I study the general meaning of the verses:

The holy verses include three topics, namely:


1 – Allah (‫ )تعالى‬is the Creator of heavens and the earth:

In these verses, Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬addresses those disbelievers who deny resurrection,

.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher
drawing their attention to the fact that the creation of heavens is greater than
the creation of man. Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬raised the ceiling of heaven and made it into
multiple layers to preserve life on earth. He made its night dark and its daytime
bright with light; spread forth the earth and brought forth springs and rivers from
it; produced plants and pastures from it for people and animals to eat; and
stabilized it with mountains to be suitable for human life.
It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them

I think and expect

what would happen if:

4 all days were nights?

4 the mountains disappeared from the earth’s surface?

Surat An-Nazi’at

2 – Allah’s just reward on the Day of Judgement:

Then the holy verses described the justice of Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬in His judgement of
people. They explained that on the Day of Judgement people will be divided
according to their deeds that they had done in the worldly life. Allah will then
bring everyone to account for their acts. Thus, people will be divided into two
.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher

parts:

The first part: those who exceeded the limits ordained by Allah by disbelief and
preference of this life over the Hereafter; their end will be in Hellfire, because they
had done evil deeds in their worldly life and did not believe that they would be
punished in the Hereafter.

3 – Only Allah (‫ )تعالى‬knows the time of the Hour.

The holy verses described for us the condition of the Qurayshi disbelievers who
asked the Prophet ( ) to make fun of him, “When is the Day of Judgement?”
Allah ( ) answered them that Muhammad ( ) had no information about it
because it is part of the unseen which is known only to Allah (‫)تعاىل‬. The Prophet’s

task is to remind them of it and alert them to the need to get ready for it. It will be
a horrible day abounding with horrors that make human beings think that their
past worldly life was only an hour length.

I read and reflect:

A Bedouin asked the Prophet ( ) about the time of the Hour. The Prophet ( )
asked him, “What have you prepared for it?” He answered, “Love for Allah and
His Messenger.” The Prophet ( ) said to him, “You will be with those whom you

4 What should a Muslim do to be ready for the Hour?

4 How do you show your love for the Prophet ( )?

I reflect and justify:

4 Allah ( ‫ )تعاىل‬reminds people of the favors He has given to them.

4 Allah ( ‫ )تعاىل‬has hidden the time of the Hour, so no one other than Him knows
its time.

Mu’awiya bin Al-Hakam As-Sulami said: While I was praying with the Prophet ( )a
man sneezed. I said, “May Allah give mercy to you!” The people looked hard at me,
so I said: Woe be upon me, why is it that you stare at me? They began to strike their
hands on their thighs. Then I saw that they were trying to make me be silent, so I was
silent. When the Messenger of Allah, ( ), had finished the prayer (may my father
and mother be his ransom, I have never seen a better teacher before or after him);
by Allah, he did not rebuke me or hit me or abuse me. He merely said, “Speaking
is not allowed during prayer. It is only glorification and proclaiming Allah great and
reciting the Qur’an.” (Muslim)

The concept of kindness in Islam:

Islam called us to be kind and tender in all our affairs


to establish a cohesive community. Kindness is an
aspect of mercy which is enjoined by Islam. It has a
positive effect, since it strengthens the relations among
people and stabilizes their life. The Prophet, ( ), said,
“Whenever kindness is added to something, it adorns it;
and whenever it is withdrawn from something, it leaves
it defective.” (Muslim)

Kindness is: tenderness of speech and behavior,

The forms of kindness:

Kindness has several forms that we are instructed in the


Holy Qur’an and urged by the Prophet ( ) to adopt. The
Prophet ( ) said:
.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher

“Allah is Gentle and He loves kindness in all things.” (Al-Bukhari


and Muslim).

The following are some of these forms:

1 – Kindness toward family and relatives: A Muslim should deal gently with his/
her family and relatives. This helps to spread the spirit of love and cooperation
among them. The Prophet ( ) said,

“If Allah wills some good to a household, He guides them to kindness.” (Narrated by Ahmed)

It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them
Parents are the worthiest of kindness because Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬has ordered us to be

kind to them. Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬says,

He (‫ )تعاىل‬urged us to be gentle to our children by caring well for them and teaching
them gently in case they commit mistakes. The Prophet ( ) said,

“Those who are not merciful toward little children are not one of us.” (Tirmidhi)

The Prophet ( ) said,

“Your servants are your brothers whom Allah has

what he eats and clothe him from what he wears.

Islam has emphasized extreme care for orphans, indicating its excellence. The

4 - Kindness and kindness: It is realized by protecting it from any harm, like thirst,
hunger and illness. Man obtains great reward for kindness to animals. In a Hadith
narrated by Abu Huraira, the Prophet said, “While a man was walking on a road,
he became very thirsty. He found a well, went down into it, drank, and came out.
[Upon exiting he met] a dog panting and eating the
dirt out of thirst. The man said: ‘This dog has become
stricken with the same degree of thirst which had
stricken me.’ He went down into the well and filled his
shoe and then held it in his mouth until he climbed out
and gave the dog water to drink. Allah thanked him
(for his good deed) and forgave him.” They said, “O
Messenger of Allah, are we rewarded for taking care of
beasts?” He said, “There is a reward [for you] in every

established nature reserves and prohibited hunting
rare animals, like the Arabian oryx. The leadership

A man was driving his car on a journey to a far area to visit his relatives. He found
two ways that lead to his destination: a short road that would take only 5 hours,
but it was difficult and rugged among mountains, without lighting; and another
smooth and lit road, but it takes 8 hours to arrive his destination. The man chose
the short road. Two hours later, the sky became cloudy and rain fell heavily. It
was difficult to see things, so the man was obliged to reduce speed. Then rain
became heavier, so he was afraid to deviate from the road. He looked for a safe
place where he parked the car until it stopped raining. After that he resumed
driving and arrived at his destination safely.

Ease means an easy smooth action that is free from difficulty so as not to burden
the body and soul of the Muslim. This is a mercy from Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬for His servants,
since He built His Sharia on ease which brings them closer to Him without hardship
or unbearable duties and without losing or being downgraded.

Our Prophet, Muhammad ( ) instructed Muslims to facilitate out of mercy on


people. He said,

“Make things easy and do not make them difficult; cheer the people up by conveying glad
news to them and do not repulse (them).” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

reason for the official holidays, saying: Why
didn’t we go to school today?

Rashid: Ahmed, today is the Hijri New Year


holiday. This occasion reminds us
of the migration of the Prophet (
) from Makkah Al-Mukarramah to Al-
Madinah Al-Munawwarah.
It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them

Saif: Let’s go to my father to listen to him telling us about the Prophet’s migration.

Rashid: It would be good to listen to our father telling us about this episode from
the Prophet’s biography. I would like to give a speech on the school
radio tomorrow about the Prophet’s blessed hijra (migration).

Ahmed: Tell us, father, about the migration of the Prophet ( ), and his
Companions to Al-Madinah.

Father: The message of Islam conveyed by Muhammad, ( ) was


rejected by Quraysh. Only a few people believed in
his mission. Therefore, they persecuted the new

religious rites and tried to force them to give
up Islam. The Prophet ( ) allowed them to
migrate to Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah,
saying, “Allah ( ) has made for you brothers

was after he had agreed with the leaders of Al-Madinah to receive him
and his Companions there and protect them from the persecution of
Quraysh. So, they migrated in obedience to Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬and to protect
their faith.

Rashid: When did the Prophet ( ) migrate, father?


.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher

Father: in the month of Rabee’ Al Awwal, Rashid.

Ahmed: What did Quraysh do, father?

Father: Quraysh tried to prevent them from migrating and caused problems by
depriving them of their money, withholding back wives and children,
or threatening them. The Companions, however, were quite ready to
protect Islam with everything they possess.

It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them
I think and give reasons:

4 The Prophet ( ) ordered his Companions to migrate to Al-Madinah Al-

Munawwarah.

4 The Prophet ( ) chose Al-Madinah for his destination when he migrated.

The early migrants to Al-Madinah

Among the first to migrate to Al-Madinah:

4 Abu Salamah ( ) was the first to migrate to Al-Madinah. Quraysh prevented

.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher
his wife, Umm Salamah ( ) and her child from migrating with her husband
and held her son hostage. One year had passed before she could recover
her son and catch up with her husband.

4 Suhaib Ar-Roumi ( ) wanted to migrate, but Quraysh prevented him from


taking his wealth with him. He said to them, “If I leave you my wealth, will you
let me go?” They said, “Yes.” He said, “I have left my wealth for you.” He told
them about its hiding place and migrated. On hearing about this, the Prophet
( ) said,

“Your transaction has been fruitful, Suhaib; Your transaction has been fruitful.”
It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them

I read and imitate

the acts of the Prophet’s Companions ( ) that they did in the migration.

Allah (‫ )تعالى‬saves his Prophet, Muhammad ( ):

The leaders of Quraysh met in Dar An-Nadwa and conspired to prevent


the Prophet ( ) from migrating and agreed to kill him. Quraysh selected
from each tribe a young man with his sword to strike the Prophet ( )
all at once so that thee responsibility for his blood would be distributed
.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher

among the tribes. Nevertheless, Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬protected His Prophet and


disappointed them; He ordered him not to sleep in his house on that night.
So, the Prophet ( ) asked Ali bin Abi Talib ( ) to sleep in his bed,
and to return the deposits he was entrusted with to their owners.
Then he went out of his house while reciting the Holy Qur’an
and showering the faces of the conspirers in wait for him
with dust. Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬blinded their eyes so that they could
not see him. He headed for the house of Abu Bakr As-
Siddeeq to migrate with him to Al-Madinah.

It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them
I think and demonstrate:

4 The Prophet’s Companions loved him more that they loved themselves,
wealth and children.

4 The Prophet ( ) was keen to return the deposits even to to non-Muslims.

Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬ordered His Prophet ( ) to migrate to Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah

It was by the mercy of Allah that you were lenient with them
in the middle of dangers. Yet, he had unlimited confidence in the help of Allah,
so he put his trust in Allah and took all precautions that would guarantee the
success of the journey. Therefore, he chose his Companion Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq
to be his comrade on the journey. He prepared his riding camel, hired the
guide, Abdullah bin Oraiqit and asked Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬for care protection and success.
He headed south opposite of the direction of Al-Madinah and stayed with his
companion in Thawr Cave for three days until chase for them was less. Abdullah
bin Abu Bakr followed up the news of Quraysh and conveyed it to them at
night. Aamir bin Fuhairah herded sheep in the daytime and provided them
with the sheep milk at night, and also erased the traces of footsteps. Asmaa bint
Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq carried food bravely to them in the cave. When Quraysh
arrived at the cave and surrounded it, Abu Bakr said, out of fear for the safety
of the prophet ( ), “If any of them looked under his feet he would see us.” The
Prophet ( ) said to him,

“Abu Bakr, what do you think about two the third of whom is Allah.” (Al-Bukhari); thus,
Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬protected them from the plans of the disbelievers. PAGE

“40. If you help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth,
the second of two; when they two were in the cave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve
not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him
and supported him with hosts you saw not, and made the word of those who disbelieved
the lowermost, while Allah’s word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is All-Mighty,

way of mockery; therefore, the verses emphasized the truth of resurrection after
death, and judgement.

Good manners

I understand the significance of the Hadith:

The Hadith contains several manners which lead Muslims to Paradise if they
acquire them. They are as follows:

1 – Positive dialogue:

The Prophet ( ) guaranteed Paradise for all those who abandon non-positive
argument and discussion which is fruitless and may lead to dispute or enmity.
PAGE
Positive dialogue requires each one to listen to the other. An individual may

interfere politely to answer or comment, or he may keep silent if the way of
dialogue is not suitable for discussion, even if he is right. This helps them to avoid
bad consequences and be committed to civilized conduct in communication
and peaceful coexistence.

I reflect and find out

the ethics of dialogue from the following passage:

Bin Al—Muqaffa’ said, “Learn good listening as you learn good speech. Examples
of good listening include: waiting for the speaker until he/she finishes talking, rarely
look forward to the answer, face toward the speaker and understand what he/
she says.”

I explain and distinguish:

When to speak and when to be silent:

Compete with each other in righteousness


Siuation Speak Keep silent

When my teacher allows me to speak.

When my father is angry.

When I attend a lesson at mosque.

After my mother finishes her speech.

“119. O you who believe! Be careful of your duty to Allah, and be with the truthful.” (Surat
At-Tauba)

A Muslim knows that truthfulness is the best way to Paradise. The Prophet ( )
guaranteed Paradise for those who abandon lying in both seriousness and jest,
and adheres to truthfulness until it becomes a permanent attribuute of his. The
Prophet ( ) said,

“You must be truthful. Verily, truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to
Paradise. A man continues to be truthful and encourages honesty until he is recorded with
Allah as truthful.” (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

I classify and explain

the following kinds of truthfulness, pointing out the benefit of each kind:

(verification of news before conveying it; not to be hasty in telling news; not to
doubt or suspect others; abandonig backbiting (gheebah); meeting promises)

matters of Islam and life in general. The human mind helps to distinguish what is

Islamic Street Ethics


.All rights reserved. No part of this page may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system or transmitted in any form or by any means without prior permission in writing of the publisher

Islam requires us to have good manners and proper etiquette in our


life affairs, including street ethics. The Prophet ( ) said,

“Give the road its due.” [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

The road is a public utility for all people. They meet there to satisfy all
their needs and deal with one another.

Street ethics to be observed by Muslims include the following:

1 – Harm prevention and removal from the road

Islam urges us to avoid anything that hurts us and others, like playing

Compete with each other in righteousness


on roads, pushing through people in corridors and streets, or dropping
litter on the road. When the Prophet ( ) was asked about what is
due to the road, he said,

“… and do not cause harm.” (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)

The Prophet ( ) encouraged us to remove harm, like stones, glass


and dirt, from the road. He assigned great reward for those who do
this. He ( ) said,

“Your removal of stones, thorns and bones from the road is an act of charity.”

the humblest of which is the removal of harm
from the road.” (Muslim)

advised me.

to obtain the reward of those who go early to prayer.

Mohammed: Why all this concern with Friday.

Father: Friday is a great day in the sight of Allah (‫)تعاىل‬. The Messenger of Allah
( ) said,

“The best day on which the sun has risen is Friday; on it Adam was created. on it he was
made to enter Paradise, on it he was expelled from it.” (Tirmithi).

On this day every week, Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬brings Muslims together to perform


Friday Prayer to teach the ignorant and remind the negligent. Allah
(‫ )تعاىل‬distinguished this day by an hour during which Allah answers the
supplications of any Muslim who asks Him something.

Dhuhr Prayer?

Compete with each other in righteousness


Father: No, son. Friday Prayer must be performed in congregation in the mosque.
It only consists of two rak’as in which the Imam (leader of prayer) recites
loudly. It is preceded by two sermons (khutbas), during which you must
listen and beware of speaking lest you lose your reward. On entering the
mosque, you should be careful not to cross over the necks of worshippers
or hurt them.

Mohammed: Well, but look, dad! This salesman is still selling though the time of
adhan (call to prayer) is near; he has not gone to Friday Prayer!

Father: Sale is forbidden during Friday Prayer for those who are required to attend
the prayer. It seems that this man does not know this.

Islam urges persistence, hard work and training Muslims to observe this good
attribute. Persistence is a praiseworthy characteristic that we must acquire
because it is one of the key factors of success in this worldly life and the Hereafter.
Islam considers belief and action inseparable twins because action is the
evidence of persistence in search for high goals. Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬says:

The attributes that indicate persistence and hard work include:

4 Seeking knowledge is a proof of persistence to attain high goals. Allah (‫)تعاىل‬


says:

“11. .. Allah will exalt those who believe among you, and those who have knowledge, to high
ranks. Allah is All-Aware of what you do.” (Surat Al-Mujadilah)

4 Patience; Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬praised persistent, patient prophets and messengers and


recommended His Prophet to follow their example:

[35 Fāşbir Kamā Şabara ‘Ūlū Al-`Azmi Mina Ar-Rusuli ]

“35. Then have patience (O Muhammad) even as the stout of heart among the messengers (of
old) had patience” (Surat Al-Ahqaf)

4 Keeping away from pessimism; there is nothing impossible. And persistence to


attain high goals knows pessimism. The dreams of yesterday are the facts of
today, and the dreams of today are the facts of tomorrow.

Introduction to the Character of Omar bin Al-Khattab ( )

He is Omar bin Al-Khattab bin Nufail bin Adi bin Ka’b bin Lu’ay Al-Qurashi Al-
Adawi. His ancestry meets with that of the Prophet ( ) in Ka’b bin Lu’ay bin
Ghalib.

He was born thirteen years after the Elephant Year. He was one of the early
Muslims, for he embraced Islam in the sixth year after Prophet Muhammad ( )
received the first revelations; at that time, he was twenty-seven years old.

He was a father-in-law of the Prophet ( ), who got married to Hafsa, daughter


of Omar bin Al-Khattab ( ), and Omar ( ) got married to the granddaughter
of the Prophet ( ), Umm Kalthoum bin Ali bin Abi Talib ( ). He was also one of
the ten Companions who were promised of Paradise ( ). PAGE

He narrated from the Prophet ( ) five hundred thirty-nine traditions (Hadiths). He


was also one of the scribes of the revelation (of the Qur’an). He was known for his
intelligence and wisdom.

His kindness and care for People:

Omar bin Al-Khattab ( ) was very keen to check the conditions of people
and provide the ways of stability for them. He constructed hundreds of cities.
Paved roads and reformed lands. He used to check the conditions of people at
night and when anyone needed help, he provided the help by himself. When
the border of the state expanded during his reign, he began to count people in
records that contained the names of those who needed financial aid, even if they
were non-Muslims. That was after he had consulted the Prophet’s Companions
regarding how to manage public finance. He accepted the advice of Othman
bin Affan ( ) regarding the establishment of offices and departments of the

Allah’s care for man:

The first manifestation of Allah’s grace for man is that Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬has created him
in the best shape, which is the current human image. The human look is the best
image and appearance for man. Therefore, Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬explained that it is the
greatest of the apparent bounties that require you to praise and thank Allah for
them. Other bounties include the human mind and all senses that make man
exercise his role in the universe in the best way. PAGE

The universe, with all its creatures and beings, of different species, volumes and

The earth is a resting place for man:

The earth is a roundish planet in space which performs its role perfectly as
willed by Allah (‫)تعاىل‬. He (‫ )تعاىل‬has made the earth suitable for cultivation and
inhabitation. Had the earth’s crust been thicker, oxygen would not have existed,
and plants would not have grown. Had the earth’s atmosphere been lighter
than it is, meteors would have penetrated the earth and destroyed everything,
making life impossible. Man on earth is protected with the laws and grace of
Allah (‫)تعاىل‬. Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬says:

Man’s duty in the universe:

Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬created man for a purpose, not in vain. As part of His wisdom, he
assigned man the task of construction of earth on the basis of goodness, justice
and happiness. Allah (‫ )تعاىل‬says:
