Our Caliph Omar Ibn Alkhatab died
Real Stories from his life:
Historians have reported that Omar Ibn al-Khattab, though known for his strength and toughness, was used to preparing food for the people in Madinah. One day, he saw a man eating with his left hand. So, he went to him and said, "O servant of Allah, eat with your right hand !
The man said, "O servant of Allah, my right hand is busy."
But Omar insisted and ordered him again.
The man repeated the same answer!
So, Omar asked him, "Why is it busy?"
"It was injured in Muatah (it was a battle between Muslims and non-believers) and since then I couldn’t move it.", replied the man.
Omar sat down beside him sobbing his heart out, asking, "How can you perform your ablution?"
And “Who washes your clothes ?”
And “Who washes your head?”
And Who…? Who…? Who?
He was asking him while tears were streaming down his face.
Immediately after that, the Caliph, Omar, decreed that the man should be given a servant to help him, a camel, and food. Moreover, Omar begged the man’s pardon for his hurting question.
Based on this incident, an Act for the war- wounded was issued.
Second story
One day, while Omar was walking around, he saw an old man carrying stones. He asked him, "Why are you doing this hard work?"
The man replied, "I am a Jewish man, and I have to pay tribute"
Omar assured him saying, "You paid us tribute in your youth. Now, it is our duty to take care of you in your old age.” And, he allocated a monthly salary for him."
Al-Farouq returned back home and issued a decree to adopt all similar cases under what is called
“Social Security Law”.
