Omar bin Abdul Aziz... his justice, asceticism and wisdom

Within two years, five months and approximately four days - the period of his caliphate - Omar bin Abdul Aziz was able to write an educational miracle in the history of Islam. In this short period, he was able to lay the foundations and goals for educating the Muslim community in accordance with the prophetic approach in which deception, lying, bribery, and corruption are forbidden to the subjects. That approach depends on the conjunction of knowledge with work, knowledge of application, and personal knowledge of the lives of the righteous predecessors who came before us. In order to emulate them and adhere to their understanding - in his leadership, administrative and educational behaviour. Caliph Omar bin Abdul Aziz assumed a lofty position in human history that was only attained by the most distinguished leaders, conquerors, imams of knowledge, and genius writers and poets. Your astonishment increases when you learn that he occupied this position in a short time, while other caliphs and leaders spent decades without history paying attention to them. Because the years of their rule were a void in the history of their nation, so people did not feel a change in their lives, nor a rise in their state, nor an improvement in their livelihood, nor a sense of security and stability pervading their country. Politics did not prevent him from taking his seat among the scholars and sages, as he competed with them, and the translators agreed on Omar bin Abdul Aziz that he was one of the imams of his time.
