A Study on The First Khutbah of Amir-Al-Mumineen Umar Bin Khattab(RA)

Abstract

Umar bin Khattab's (RA) first Khutbah is a powerful example of his priorities, values, and character as the second Caliph of Islam. The sermon, that was given after taking over the office as the Amir al-Mumineen, includes self-examination, supplication, and a request to Allah for direction in governance. Umar (RA) emphasises his profound understanding of leadership duties by praying for humility, strength, wisdom, and justice. This article examines the sermon's linguistic beauty, textual and thematic depth along with the supplications and moral values it contains.
