What did umar say? What can we learn from umar? What was the advice of umar ibn khattab?
Umar (r.a.):
- From the question of a man, I understand his mental level.
- Nothing is more shameful than to see a fault that you do not like in somebody else but not being able to realize that you actually have the same fault.
- Do not be taken in by the fame or appearance of a man. Do not look for only the prayer or fasting of person. Look for his wisdom and righteousness.
- I seek refuge in Allah from the laziness of pious believers, and from the zeal and diligence of the sinners.
