wow umar radiallahu anhu was a really scary guy, and look what has happened to us since he left
:salam2:
brother it was power of his emaan and firmness on emaan... holy prophet used to say shaytan change his way with fear of umar .....
Umar ibn al Khattab used to say: "O Allah, make all of my actions righteous, and make them sincere for your Face, and do not make in them anything for anyone [else]."
It would be no exaggeration to say that the Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen ‘Umar bin al-Khattab رضي الله عنه was so much feared by the Muslims that once he heard a group of men talking about a certain lady. So ‘Umar رضي الله عنه wanted to know about this Muslimah and thus he summoned for her. This Muslimah was pregnant and when she saw ‘Umar رضي الله عنه and he saw her, she had a miscarriage!
Once ‘Umar رضي الله عنه was getting his hair cut suddenly he coughed and because of this the barber urinated on himself because of the fear. The other Sahabah رضي الله عنهم got to know about this incident and ‘Uthman bin ‘Affan, ‘Ali bin Abi Talib, ‘Abdur Rahman ibn ‘Awf, Az-Zubayr bin ‘Awwam رضي الله عنهم gathered to discuss this issue about the immense fear of ‘Umar رضي الله عنه in the hearts of the believers. They came up with the idea that they will choose from themselves a person who would go speak to ‘Umar رضي الله عنه about it and the boldest of them was ‘Abdur Rahman ibn ‘Awf رضي الله عنه thus he was sent. He went to ‘Umar رضي الله عنه and told him how much the believers feared him. ‘Umar رضي الله عنه responded, “O’ ‘Abdur Rahman, sometimes I feel that I am too strict so I soften whilst sometimes I feel that I am too lenient so I become strict I don’t know what will happen of me when I meet Allah سبحانه و تعالى!” Hearing this, ‘Abdur Rahman رضي الله عنه started weeping and he left saying, “Woe to you O’ Ummah of Muhammad, what will happen to you when you (‘Umar) will leave!”

Hello
Dear JenGiove, I think it would be better that you first learn about Allah, His Characteristics and His beautiful names,and to learn about His last Prophet Mohammed sallahu alayha wa salam,and other Prophets as well.And after to learn some other parts of Islaam, because the most importante is that you learn basic things in Islaam,and after you will learn other parts of Islaam easier.
For the begining you should start calling Allah with His beautiful names mentioned in the Quran, Allah, Al Rahman, Al- Raheem.Inshallah you can find all Allahs name in the Quraan.
May Allah guide you
Sister Asja,
I appreciate your kindness at directing me towards those things that I need to learn but since I doubt you know my history here or whom is already assisting me in learning, please allow me to learn at my own speed. It may seem erratic and unfocused but it works for me. I already use one of the 99 beautiful names, Creator, as is the tradition in my own faith and living practice.
BrotherInIslam is well acquainted with my style of learning as is Al-Kashmire, Sister's Seeking_Allah's Mercy, MaHa and Revert2007. If you would like to know where I am in my learning, here is a post that Sister revert2007 posted in regards to such a thing. Maybe it'll help you understand me a little better.
Salam.

I agree with sister Asja but still I would like to give you a little example of Umar-Ibn-Al Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) (As he is one of my most favorite of the Companions of the Prophet ). Though this is very vague in my mind, I will try to put up a summary and I welcome any brother or sister to correct me. During his caliphate he would go around dressed as a beggar from door to door to check on the ummah and how they lived. One day he was passing by a house, where a poor mother was consoling her children by stirring water in a bowl that the food will be cooked soon. Hoping that her children will eventually fall asleep, waiting for that food to be cooked. Seeing this, Umar (May Allah be Pleased with him) went and brought a sack full of grains (I am not sure but it was food) (If any brother or sister can remember this incident please correct me). So he, went and gave them that and when he was coming away. The women said I wish the ruler of this nation was as kind as you. He turned back, smiled and just walked away. This is just a very little example of his honesty, loyalty and love towards Allah and the Prophet .
May Allah forgive me for any mistake!

Brother Ahmed JazakAllahu Khair for sharing the exact story ( I seem to have got some of it wrong by weak memory) and sister Jeni JazakALlahu Khair (May Allah reward you).
