why he is also known as the Messenger’s wish (Murād-e-Rasūl).^[1]

When Sayyidunā ꜤUmar رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ became a Muslim, this further increased the honour and authority of Islam, and it inspired the believers. It was after his acceptance of Islam that the Muslims openly offered salah in the Haram. The Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم appointed him as his vizier. Sayyidunā ꜤUmar رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ always remained a special advisor to the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم when it came to making important decisions about Islam. He رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ spent his entire life in service to the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. In the year 13 AH (634 CE), at the age of 53, he became the second caliph of the Muslims.

Sayyidunā Ṣuhayb رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ عَـنْهُ led his funeral salah, and he was laid to rest at the blessed feet of the Greatest Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم.^[2]

Forgiveness and a great reward for Sayyidunā ꜤUmar رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ

Dear Islamic brothers, in the second verse of Sūrah al-Ḥujurāt, the Muslims have been commanded to take special care to not raise their voices above the blessed voice of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم when speaking to him. Otherwise, there is a risk of one’s salah, fasts, hajj and all their deeds being ruined.

It is mentioned in the renowned book of hadith Sunan al-Tirmidhī that when this verse was revealed, Sayyidunā Abū Bakr, Sayyidunā ꜤUmar and
