Description
Omar bin Abdul Aziz by Ibn al-Jawzī, translated by Mahmoud Salami and published by Dar al-Kotob al-Ilmiyah, is a classic biography of one of the most revered and righteous caliphs in Islamic history — ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz (rahimahullāh), often referred to as the fifth rightly guided caliph. Written by the esteemed 6th-century scholar Ibn al-Jawzī, this work is more than a historical account; it is a moral and spiritual portrait of a man who revived the essence of the caliphate during a time of growing corruption and excess. The book highlights ʿUmar’s noble character, deep knowledge, humility, justice, and sincere devotion to the Qur’an and Sunnah. It details how he transitioned from the comfort of Umayyad royalty to a life of asceticism, accountability, and service once he assumed leadership. Ibn al-Jawzī presents vivid stories of ʿUmar's reforms — including returning unjustly seized wealth, dismissing corrupt governors, strengthening the judiciary, and raising the moral and spiritual standards of governance. His brief reign of just over two years left a profound impact, setting a timeless example of leadership based on taqwa, justice, and compassion. This translation by Mahmoud Salami makes the classical Arabic text accessible to modern readers, preserving its eloquence and spiritual depth. Through its rich narration and powerful lessons, Omar bin Abdul Aziz stands as both a historical masterpiece and a guide for righteous leadership and personal piety. A must-read for those seeking to understand what it means to lead with sincerity, fear of Allah, and unwavering justice.
