The Genius of Omar: Injaz Edition

About this book

Between this book's covers you read no mere historical narration of days gone by, but face a unique attempt to pierce time's wall and touch the essence of the "human" who changed history's face. Have you ever wondered what makes one man a balance of justice walking the earth? And how did that tough soul manage to combine a majesty shaking kings and a tear moistening the beard in mercy for an orphan or widow? Abbas Mahmoud Al-Aqqad, in his composed literary style and philosophical scalpel, does not content himself in "The Genius of Omar" with drawing the leader's image, but dives into "Omar ibn Al-Khattab's psychological makeup." He searches for "the secret"; that hidden thread linking pre-Islamic roughness with Islamic justice, between unyielding firmness and shura consulting young minds before old. Here you will discover how Omar was a "genius" not merely in combat and administration fields, but in understanding the human psyche, and in foreseeing events with the insight the Prophet called "inspiration." This book is an inspirational journey for every seeker.
