Umar Last moments. In the closing chapter of Umar ibn al-Khattab's life, the devoted caliph's commitment to prayer faced a grave challenge. One morning, as Umar led the Fajr prayer, a Jewish slave wielding a specially crafted knife made a targeted assault, stabbing Umar multiple times. Despite the brutal attack, Umar steadfastly continued his prayer until he eventually collapsed. As he lay injured, the wounds were severe, and when offered milk, it flowed not just from his mouth but also from the inflicted injuries. In his moments of consciousness, Umar's unwavering concern was whether he had performed the Fajr prayers. Each time he regained awareness, he insisted on completing this vital act of worship. Even in his weakened state, Umar's plea to place his head in the dirt revealed a deep humility and a profound desire for Allah's mercy. This poignant episode reflects Umar's extraordinary faith and resilience, leaving an enduring legacy in Islamic history. #islam #umaribnalkhattab #fyp
