Al farooq

In this landmark work of Islamic literature, Shibli Nomani tells the epic story of Omar “The Great”, second Caliph of Islam. Regarded as the architect of the Islamic empire, Omar established a model political structure that would hold together the growing empire for centuries.

Nomani delves into Omar’s reputation as one of history’s great conquerors and political geniuses, while also examining his pious and just nature, which earned him the title Al-Farooq (“the one who distinguishes between right and wrong”).
