Abstract

Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz was a handsome man. You were a scholar of your time. He had complete mastery over all sciences. During his reign, the personal government was transformed into a democratic government. He withdrew his nomination for the caliphate but accepted the caliphate after public opinion was expressed. His greatest wish was that Islamic democracy should remain permanent. Qasim bin Muhammad Abi Bakr, who was a non-Umayyad person, wanted to make him his crown prince. But it could not be done due to the strong opposition of Banu Umayyad. A short period of two and a half years was not enough for such a revolution. Therefore, he did not fulfill many intentions. Tried hard to remove the defects of personal government. Before him, the pioneers used to walk with the caliphs and they used to send greetings to them in the mosques like the Prophet. Abolished all these rituals. He was an example of Umar Farooq in every matter. And his example was in front of him. A just system was easy for Hazrat Umar Farooq because his tenure was close to Prophethood. And the Companions were also his supporters. But during the reign of Umar II, the situation was different. Earlier his family opposed him. He was completely alone in his environment. But despite these conditions, his government was of Islamic style. For this reason, the period of his reign is considered in the Rashidah Caliphate. Historians recognize him as the fifth Caliph after Hazrat Ali. He is also recognized as Majid-i-Aol. He was always aware of his responsibilities. He was always conscious of his responsibilities. Except for the stipulated stipend, he didn't take anything from Baitul-Mal. It was even considered a sin to heat water on the fire that burned in the official guest house, as he considered a sin to do so. At night, he would turn off the official lamp. His reign brought great happiness to his subjects. Poverty and bankruptcy ended. Civil war ended under your leadership. His style of government was liked by all kinds of people. There was peace everywhere.
