وكانت مفاجأة أخرى لكثير من الناس اختيار مايكل هارت لعمر بن الخطاب من بين 100 شخص مؤثر،
Another surprise to many people was Michael Hart's choice of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab among the 100 influential persons,
ويقول أيضا أن قيادة عمر الرائع كان مسؤولا عن التوسع في الأراضي الإسلامية (الفتوحات )
He further says that Umar's brilliant leadership was responsible for the expansion of the Islamic territory
تحت قيادة بن عمر بن الخطاب انتشر الإسلام على نطاق واسع ليس بالسيف ولكن بفضل جمالها، وبساطتها وصراحتها وشفافيتها والقيادة التي حققها لها .
Under the leadership of Umar ibn Al-Khattab Islam spread widely not by the sword but by virtue of its beauty, simplicity, transparency, openness and the leadership provided by him.
في زمن عمر بن الخطاب، يتمتع غير المسلمين حرية الدين. فلقد كانوا أحرارا في ممارسة شعائرهم الدينية،
During the time of Umar ibn Al-Khattab, the non-Muslims enjoyed freedom of religion. They were free to perform their religious rites

قد ذكر ابن الجوزي في "صفة الصفوة" قصة إسلامه، فعن أنس بن مالك رضي الله عنه أن
عمر خرج متقلدًا السيف فوجده رجل من بني زهرة فقال: أين تعمد يا عمر؟ قال: أريد أن
أقتل محمدًا، فقال: وكيف تأمن من بني هاش ٍ م وبني زُهرة وقد قتلت محمدًا ؟ فقال له عمر:
أراك قد تركت دينك الذي أنت عليه، فقال الرجل: أفلا أدُّلك على العَجَب؟ إنَّ أختك
وخَتَنَك (أي صهرك) قد تركا دينك.
The story of how Umar embraced Islam was mentioned by
Ibn al- Jawziyy in his book named “Sifatus-Safwah”. In it, he says that
Anas Ibn Malik related that one day Umar was heading out with
his sword when he met a man from Bani Zuhrah (the family of
Zuhrah). This man asked ^Umar: “O Umar where are you
heading?” Umar said: “To kill Muhammad.” He said: “How could
you feel so safe from Bani Zuhrah and Bani Hashim if you are to
kill Muhammad ?” Umar said: “I see that you have left your
traditional religion.” The man answered: “Shall I tell you what is
more wondrous than that? Your sister and her husband have left
their traditional religion too.”
فأتاهما عمر وكانا يقرءان سورة طه، فسمع شيًئا من قرءاة القرءان من خلف الباب وكان
عندهم أحد الصحابة وهو الخبَّاب فطرق عمر الباب وفتحوا له، فقال: أسمعوني، فقالوا: هو
حديث تحدثناه بيننا، ثم قال عمر لصهره: َأتَبعْتَ محمدًا؟ فقال له صهره: أرأيت يا عمر، إن
كان الحق في غير دِينكَ؟ فبدأ يضرب صهره ضربًا شديدًا فجاءت أخته تريد أن تدافع عن
زوجها فضرﺑﻬا فقالت بقل ٍ ب ثابت متوكل على الحي الذي لا يموت: أرأيت إن كان الحقُّ في
غير دِينكَ؟ أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأنَّ محمدًا رسول الله. توقف عمر عن ضرب صهره
وقال: أعطوني هذا الكتاب الذي عندكم فأقرأه فقرأ (طه) حتى انتهى إلى قوله تعالى:
. ( ِإنَّني~ َأنَا اللهُ لآ ِإَلهَ ِإلآ َأنَاْ َفاعبُدِني وَأقِم الصَّلاَة لِذِكرِي) طه / 14
فانشرح صدره للإسلام وقال: دلوني على محمد، فلما سمع الخبَّاب قال له: أبشر يا عمر
فإني أرجو أن تكون دعوة رسول الله ليلة الخميس لك، اللهم أعزَّ الإسلام بعمر بن
الخطاب أو بعمرو بن هشام (أي أبو جهل)".
وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم في بيت الأرقم في الصفا، فذهب عمر إلى هناك وضرب
الباب، وتقدم نحو النبي فأخذه الرسول الأعظم صلى الله عليه، أشجع خلق الله، أخذه
بمجامع قميصه وقال: أسلم يا ابن الخطاب، اللهمَّ اهده. فما تمالك عمر أن وقع على
ركبتيه فقال له النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم "ما أنت ِبمُنْتَهٍ يا عمر" فقال: أشهد ان لا إله إلا
الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أنَّ محمدًا عبده ورسوله، فكبَّر أهل الدار تكبيرة سمعها أهل
المسجد الحرام. وكان إسلامه سنة ست من النبوة، وقيل سنة خمس.

قال عبد الله بن مسعود رضي الله عنه : ما زِلنا أعزَّةً منذ أسلمَ عمرُ

عمر خرج متقلدًا السيف فوجده رجل من بني زهرة فقال: أين تعمد يا عمر؟ قال: أريد أن
أقتل محمدًا، فقال: وكيف تأمن من بني هاش ٍ م وبني زُهرة وقد قتلت محمدًا ؟ فقال له عمر:

Umar then went to them, and as he approached their home he
overheard them reciting some verses of the Qur’an. Al-Khubab
–one of the Companions– was at their place at that moment, Umar
knocked on the door and they opened for him. He said to them what
means: “Repeat what you were saying.” they said: “It was some
talk between us.” Umar then said to his brother-in-law: “Did you
follow Muhammad already?” His brother-in-law replied: “O Umar
did you search to see if the truth is in other than your religion?”
^Umar jumped on him and beat him severely. When his sister
rushed to defend her husband, he beat her too. She said with a firm
heart relying on Allah: “O Umar did you search to find out
whether the truth is in other than your religion? I testify that there is
only one God Allah and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger
of Allah”. Umar became disheartened and stopped beating his
brother-in-law he said: “Give me your book, I want to read it”. He
read Surat Taha till he reached the Ayah which means: “I am Allah
there is no God but Me, so worship Me and perform the prayers”.
Umar felt a high euphoria towards Islam, he said: “Take me to
Muhammad”. When al-Khubab heard that he said: “Good for you
Umar, I am hoping that the supplication of the Messenger of Allah
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam on the night of Thursday was for you,
he said: (O Allah glorify Islam by Umar Ibn al-Khattab or Amru
Ibn Hisham known as Abu Jahl).”

He went to Dar al-Arqam in as-Safa, where the Prophet was at that
time. Umar knocked on the door and approached the Prophet. The
Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who is the bravest
human grabbed Umar from his shirt and said: “O son of
al-Khattab embrace Islam, O Allah guide him.” Umar was
weakened by that and fell to his knees. The Prophet sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam said: “O ^Umar aren’t you going to quit?”(i.e.
isn’t it about time for you to leave blasphemy?)” To that Umar
uttered the Testification of faith: “Ashhadu alla ilaha illallah, wa
ashhadu anna Muhammadar-Rasulullah” and became a Muslim.
All those who were present at that time cried out: “Allahu akbar” in
such a loud voice that all people who were in Masjid al-Haram
heard them.
