Review # 1 was written on 2010-01-21 00:00:00 Patricia Curtis An excellent introduction into the life and times of the second Caliph of Islam, Umar, may Allah be well pleased with him, presenting him within his capacity as a Just Ruler, highlighting the various reforms and policies adopted by him vis-à-vis his administration and in particular a section of the book deals with his treatment of non-Muslim subjects. The text is designed to be read as a first point of contact for readers/researchers and leaves the reader with an annotated further reading list - the aims and objectives of the series - Makers of the Islamic Civilisation - means the text is limited in its scope and coverage and fails to bring out all aspects of Umar's varied and complex personality Furthermore, cursory mentions are made on various issues, which need in turn to be further researched into and examined.
