BM119. �Umar the Great (Al-Faruq)
By Allamah Shibli Nu`mani. Translated by M. Zafar Ali Khan and Prof. M. Saleem
14 cm. x 21.5 cm. --- Vol.I, Pages 319.

For translation purposes the book has been split into two volumes. The first volume; besides the exhaustive Introduction, deals with events embracing the lifetime of Hadrat �Umar as well as the political conquests achieved by him. In the second volume is given a detailed record of his system of government administration, political and ecclesiastical, his intellectual attainments and his personal virtues and habits. The entire book is a masterpiece of research by Maulana Shibli, yet he devoted comparatively greater labour and research to the second volume.
Publication of the original Urdu work, Al-Faruq, by the late �Allama Shibli Nu�mani took the Muslim world by storm as it was considered a great literary event in the history of Islamic literature. It created an unparalleled enthusiasm and ran into several editions in a very short time.
