It is difficult to imagine that any ruler who had a huge empire like Umar Farooq's رضي الله عنه would live like a simple common man. But that is exactly what he did. He wore clothes with many patches slept on the floor ate plain food and travelled to foreign lands with just one servant and a camel.

Umar Farooq رضي الله عنه had a strong sense of duty and justice. Throughout his rule everyone was treated equally and with justice. whether he wa a Muslim or a non-Muslim. He lived in the love and fear of Allah.

In the history of the world there was and still is no other ruler like him he was unique.
