Umar Al-Khattab was an independent merchant from Mecca who opposed Islam initially but converted after hearing the Quran. As a young man, he herded goats and traded goods between Mecca and Syria. After converting, he boldly migrated to Medina when others went secretly at night out of fear. As Caliph, he established a Shura Council and divided the expanding Islamic territories into provinces with officers, reformed taxes and improved slaves' status. He was known for being independent, vigorous, loving, brave, smart and responsible.
Umar was the second caliph who succeeded Abu Bakr after his death in 634 CE. During his caliphate, Umar advised Abu Bakr to compile the Quran. He also oversaw the release of the Al-Aqsa mosque. Umar was later assassinated by Abu Lulu'ah, who was angry about taxes imposed on him. Before his death, Umar asked that Uthman lead the prayers and said that anyone who neglects prayers is not a Muslim. He was buried in the Mosque of the Prophet alongside Muhammad and Abu Bakr.

Imam Malik was born in Medina in 715 CE to a family originally from Yemen. Living in Medina gave him access to early Islamic scholars, and he studied under scholars like Imam Jafar al Sadiq. He was known for his extreme care in verifying hadith, only accepting narrations from trustworthy sources. Imam Malik's chain of narrators for hadith, passing down from the Prophet Muhammad, was considered the most authentic. He wrote Al-Muwatta, regarded as one of the soundest books on Earth after the Quran.
The Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan
In 1979, Soviet paratroopers landed in Kabul to support the communist government of Afghanistan against Muslim rebels. However, the government, led by Prime Minister Amin, had tried to reduce Muslim traditions, angering many Afghans. Thousands joined the Mujahideen rebels fighting the government and now Soviet forces. By 1982, despite fighting the powerful Soviet military, the Mujahideen controlled 75% of Afghanistan through their guerilla tactics and knowledge of the terrain.
Benjamin Prince founded the private military company Blackwater USA in 1997 using funds from his inheritance. He saw Blackwater as a way to provide "relief with teeth" to dangerous areas around the world. However, Blackwater contractors killed 17 civilians in Iraq in 2007, leading to the company being expelled from Iraq in 2009 and severe financial losses. This, along with other controversies, damaged Blackwater's reputation and led Prince to resign as CEO in 2009.
This document contains a series of essays examining Israel's foreign policy and actions. The author argues that Israel has pursued a three stage master plan to realize a messianic destiny of ruling the world from the Holy Land. The first stage involved British colonial wars that liberated Palestine and established Israel. The second stage was American dominance and protection of Israel. The current stage involves Israel recklessly pursuing nuclear attacks on Iran and Pakistan to destroy any threats and ignite a new world order with Israel in control. The author believes Islam alone offers resistance to Israeli oppression and that a prophecy foretells Israel's eventual punishment at the hands of Muslims.
Prophet Muhammad is considered the perfect example and ultimate role model for humanity based on several criteria. As an individual, he displayed honesty, generosity, modesty, purity, moderation, and humility. As a husband and parent, he treated his family with compassion and care. As a leader, judge, and da'i (preacher), he used persuasion, impartiality, and respect for human rights. His life and teachings are documented historically and provide guidance for all aspects of human life, making him the most comprehensive and practical role model by universal standards.
The Quraysh pagans in Mecca imposed a 3-year economic and social boycott on the Banu Hashim clan in an attempt to pressure Abu Talib into withdrawing his protection of Muhammad and the Muslims. Abu Talib moved the Banu Hashim clan, including Muhammad, to a ravine for safety. Conditions were difficult, as food and water were scarce. A few friends risked their lives to secretly provide supplies, while the Quraysh intercepted other attempts. Abu Talib took great precautions to protect Muhammad throughout the boycott.

Imam Ali Al-Ridha was the eighth Imam of the Shia Muslims. He was born in Medina in 148 AH and martyred in 203 AH in Iran at the age of 55. Mamoun, the Abbasid caliph, wanted Imam Al-Ridha to be his heir apparent in order to please the large Shia population. However, Mamoun grew distrustful of the Imam's popularity and had him poisoned with grapes. The Imam was buried in a village that later became the city of Mashhad in Iran.
