In the words of Washington Irving, the whole history of ‘Umar shows him to have been a man of great powers of mind, inflexible integrity and rigid justice. He was more than anyone else, the founder of Islamic empire; confirming and carrying out the inspirations of the Prophet; aiding Abu Bakr with his counsels during his brief Caliphate; and establishing wise regulations of the law throughout the rapidly extending bounds of the Muslim conquests. In the simplicity of his habits, his contempt for all pomp and luxury, he emulated the example of the Prophet and Abu Bakr.
The Book: Publication of the original Urdu work, Al-Farooq, in 1898, took the Muslim world by storm as it was considered as a great literary event and it ran into several editions in a very short time. Soon its translations appeared in Turkish and Persian. No less warmer an appreciation was accorded to this English translation by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan when it was first published in 939 and so unceasing was the demand for it until today.
Tafsir 67 : A Commentary on Surah al Mulk (P/B)
The beauty of the Qur’an is such that its miracles cannot truly be understood until one contemplates every verse of every surah; this alone makes tafsir one of the most amazing sciences of Islam. Surah Al-Mulk is a chapter of the Quran which would be recited every night by the Prophet (peace be upon him), in its midst are deep meanings which highlight the purpose of our creation, as well as entailing the message of Islam. In this book, the author takes the reader on a wonderful journey through the gardens of the first surah in the 29th Juzz of the Qur’an.
