SAYYIDUNA 'UMAR FAROOQ RADÎ ALLÂHU ANHU
He was the Imâm of Imâms, the candle of the two worlds, the Commander of the Faithful, the great Faruq.
Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'ala spoke through his tongue: therefore it is that Faruq comes from Furqân.
When his heart saw Allâh in its sanctuary, it was united with the very essence of justice.
And when his heart and justice came together, both worlds were inundated by his justice.
When he closed the door of tyranny for ever, with his justice he opened a hundred doors to the Persians.
By him the cause of the Arabs was strengthened and the Persians converted to the Faith.
He that does not believe in this cause and effect is a foe of both the Persians and the Arabs.
Because of his firmness iron turned into wax: he undid the lock of Byzantium.
Two shirts would have been so harmful to his body that he had but one.
When he embraced the Faith he had one shirt, and when he took it off it was his winding-sheet.
So often did he patch it that it came to weigh seventeen maunds. And yet for his seventeen patches he rent to pieces eighteen thousand worlds.
And having conquered eighteen thousand worlds, why did he dress in rags weighing seventeen maunds?
Since his entire property was one shirt, all his joy was in his belief.
Because of his valor and might Nakir and Munkir did not dare to approach his grave
When the noble Faruq was the muhtasib, no evildoer would prowl about. As muhtasib he explained what was lawful and was famed for forbidding what was wrong.
The Prophet Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam called him his eye. How great an honor!
He also called him the lamp of Paradise. How high a title!
He is the lamp that lights the East and the West but whose oil comes from neither the East nor the West.
Since he is the eye and the lamp of God's Court, how wilt thou journey thither without eye or lamp?
If thou have neither eye nor lamp, thou canst not tell a garden from a furnace.
Thou must always have thy eyes and a lamp too in front of thee.
For if thou travel without eyes or lamp thou wilt not know the road from the pit not the pit from the road.
If thou set out with either, thou wilt in the end in thy blindness fall into a pit.
When Our Master Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam called Sayyiduna Umar radî Allâhu anhu his eye, his tongue acquired the speech of the Lord of the World.
If thou be not blind, take heed; give ear to such an eye and such a tongue.
He that has not this light in his brain would find no lamp even in Paradise.
The radiant sun in the lamp of the heavens; the great Faruq is the lamp of Paradise.
When the trumpet is blown on Judgment Day, the heavenly lamp will be extinguished.
But this other lamp which illuminates Paradise will shine brighter every day
