Umar Umar ( ), also spelled Omar ( ; Arabic: عمر بن الخطاب‎ , "ʿUmar ibn Al-Khaṭṭāb ", 'Umar, Son of Al-Khattab' ‎ , born c.584 CEdied 3 November 644 CE), was one of the most powerful and influential Muslim caliphs in history. He was a senior companion of the Prophet Muhammad. He succeeded Abu Bakr (632–634) as the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate on 23 August 634. He was an expert Muslim jurist known for his pious and just nature, which earned him the epithet Al-Farooq ("the one who distinguishes (between right and wrong)"). He is sometimes referred to as Umar I by certain historians of Islam, since a later Umayyad caliph, Umar II, also bore that name.
