In this video you will know about Hazrat Umar's intention to kill the Holy Prophet & Complete Journey of Hazrat Umar How did Hazrat Umar Accepted Islam.

Umar ibn Al-Khattab, before embracing Islam, was known for his opposition to the Prophet Muhammad and his followers. One day, he set out with the intention of killing the Prophet, but along the way, he encountered someone who informed him that his sister and her husband had embraced Islam. This news shocked Umar, and he immediately went to his sister's house.

Upon arriving, Umar found his sister and her husband reciting verses from the Quran. Out of anger, he struck his brother-in-law, causing his sister to bleed. However, instead of retaliating, they continued to recite the verses with patience and resilience. Witnessing their steadfastness and the beauty of the Quranic verses, Umar's heart softened, and he asked his sister to show him the words they were reciting.

After reading the verses, Umar was deeply moved and realized the truth of Islam. He immediately went to the Prophet Muhammad and declared his acceptance of Islam. This pivotal moment marked a significant turning point for Umar, who later became one of the most prominent and influential companions of the Prophet.

Umar's embrace of Islam demonstrates the transformative power of faith and the ability for individuals to change their beliefs when faced with undeniable truth.


Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (Arabic: عُمَرُ بْنُ ٱلْخَطَّاب, romanized: ʿUmar bin Khaṭṭāb, also spelled Omar, c. 582/583 – 644) was the second Rashidun caliph, ruling from August 634 until his assassination in 644. He succeeded Abu Bakr (r. 632–634) as the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate on 23 August 634. Umar was a senior companion and father-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. He was also an expert Muslim jurist known for his pious and just nature, which earned him the epithet Al-Fārūq ("the one who distinguishes (between right and wrong)"). The title Amir al-Mu'minin was held by Umar ibn Khattab who was also the first one to be given this title.


In 610, Muhammad started preaching the message of Islam. However, like many others in Mecca, Umar opposed Islam and even threatened to kill Muhammad. He resolved to defend the traditional polytheistic religion of Arabia. He was adamant and cruel in opposing Muhammad, and very prominent in persecuting Muslims.[18] He recommended Muhammad's death.[19] He firmly believed in the unity of the Quraish and saw the new faith of Islam as a cause of division and discord.

Due to persecution, Muhammad ordered some of his followers to migrate to Abyssinia. When a small group of Muslims migrated, Umar became worried about the future unity of the Quraish and decided to have Muhammad assassinated.

On his way to murder Muhammad, Umar met his best friend Nu'aym ibn Abd Allah who had secretly converted to Islam but had not told Umar. When Umar informed him that he had set out to kill Muhammad, Nu'aym said, “By God, you have deceived yourself, O Umar! Do you think that Banu Abd al-Manaf would let you run around alive once you had killed their son Muhammad? Why don't you return to your own house and at least set it straight

Nuaimal Hakim told him to inquire about his own house where his sister and her husband had converted to Islam. Upon arriving at her house, Umar found his sister and brother-in-law Saeed bin Zaid (Umar's cousin) reciting the verses of the Quran from sura Ta-Ha.[22] He started quarreling with his brother-in-law. When his sister came to rescue her husband, he also started quarreling with her. Yet still they kept on saying "you may kill us but we will not give up Islam". Upon hearing these words, Umar slapped his sister so hard that she fell to the ground bleeding from her mouth. When he saw what he did to his sister, he calmed down out of guilt and asked his sister to give him what she was reciting. His sister replied in the negative and said "You are unclean, and no unclean person can touch the Scripture." He insisted, but his sister was not prepared to allow him to touch the pages unless he washed his body. Umar at last gave in. He washed his body and then began to read the verses that were: Verily, I am Allah: there is no God but Me; so serve Me (only), and establish regular prayer for My remembrance (Quran 20:14). He wept and declared, "Surely this is the word of Allah. I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." On hearing this, Khabbab came out from inside and said: "O, Umar! Glad tidings for you. Yesterday Muhammad prayed to Allah, 'O, Allah! Strengthen Islam with either Umar or Abu Jahl, whomsoever Thou likest.' It seems that his prayer has been answered in your favour."

Umar then went to Muhammad with the same sword he intended to kill him with and accepted Islam in front of him and his companions. Umar was 39 years old when he accepted Islam.
