Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

A just and humble caliph who loved people, spread justice and mercy, and lived simply to support the poor and needy.

Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz was the pious Umayyad caliph often remembered as the fifth of the Rightly Guided Caliphs for his profound justice and humility. Assuming office, he restored misused properties to the treasury, abolished tribute on new Muslims, and appointed upright governors, fostering widespread prosperity where charity could hardly find anyone in need.
