Answers


Francis
- Umar was the 2nd caliph of Islam. He succeeded Abubakar in 634 AD
- When Abubakar was on his death bed, he called for the Shurah Council
- Abubakar wanted to avoid the confusion, like that which happened after the death of the prophet
- When the Shurah council met, Abubakar proposed for the name Umar
- The members of the Shurah council feared this, for Umar was known to be so tough.
- This was because of his bravery and earlier actions even before conversion to Islam.
- Abubakr convinced them that the leadership he was going to take up will soften him
- Also Uthuman bin Affan told them that Umar was a very different man from what the public knew about him.
- The above calmed down the Shurah council members and they accepted to have Umar as their leader
- He took an oath and accepted to lead the Muslims
- Abubakar briefed him about the situation in the Muslim empire before he died
- Umar ruled for ten years i.e. between 634 – 644 AD
