Umar b. al-Khattab: Part 1 - Early Life and Conversion to Islam ~ Dr. Yasir Qadhi

He once set out to kill the Prophet (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam)... today he's buried next to him!

Once a staunch enemy of Islam he became the man who brought victory and glory to the Muslims.

His name is Umar b. al-Khattab, his title is the 'Leader of the Believers', and his legacy of conquests of great empires amazes historians to this day.

The Muslims forever remained in honor when Umar was alive and Umar's honor was raised by becoming the son-in-law of the al-ahl bayt through marrying Umm Kulthum the daughter Ali b. Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them all).

Join Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi in this epic new series on the life and times of 'Umar b. al-khattab - The Leader of the Believers.
