إسلام عمر بن الخطاب Islam of Umar ibn al-Khattab
حديثنا اليوم علي علم من الأعلام الإسلامية الذي أثرمروره في الإسلام أن أعز الإسلام به، والذي كان يسأل يوما ما حذيفة رضي الله عنه عن حديث يحفظه من رسول الله عن الفتن العظمي فقال حذيفة: قال حذيفة: إن بينك وبينها بابا مغلقا، يوشك أن يكسر، قال عمر: أيكسر لا أبا لك! فلو أنه فتح لعله كان يعاد، قلت: لا بل يُكسر، وحدثه ان الباب يكسر بموت أحد وقيل ان هذا الشخص سيكون عمر نفسه رضي الله عنه، وبالفعل بعد وفاة عمر بن الخطاب بدأت الفتن بقتل عثمان رضي الله عنه ولم تغلق حتي الآن. هيا بنا نتعرف علي هذا الصحابي الجليل، لماذا كان باباً مغلقا لهذا الدين، وما هذه القوة؟ وهل القوة ممكن تتحول إلي ضعف بسبب المشاعر؟ دعنا نتعرف علي ذلك سويا من خلال هذا الفيديو... فهيا بنا
كان عمر شديد الشكيمة، قوي البنيان ، يهابه كل أحد في قبيلة قريش ، وكان يكره سماع قصص المسلمين الجُدد والإسلام وحتي رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم كرها شديدا ، فما الذي حدث ليقلب هذه الكراهية وهذه الشكيمة لإنسان رقيق يبكي من سماع آيات من القرآن؟
الرواية الأولي (اسمع قول عمر نفسه رضي الله عنه)
قال: خرجت أتعرض رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فوجدته قد سبقني إلى المسجد ، فقمت خلفه ، فاستفتح سورة الحاقة فجعلت أعجب من تأليف القرآن ، فقلت : هذا والله شاعر ، كما قالت قريش ، فقرأ : ( إنه لقول رسول كريم وما هو بقول شاعر قليلا ما تؤمنون الآيات ، فوقع في قلبي الإسلام كل موقع .
التعليق علي القصة الأولي
غريب أمر القرآن، قد سمعنا في فيديو سابق عن تأثير القرآن الكريم علي النفس البشرية، فلو وجدت عمر بن الخطاب هذا القوي الشجاع الذي لا يستطيع احدهم أن يلعب بعقله بشكل من الأشكال، يقف عاجزاً علي ان يدخل الإسلام كل موقع منه بحسب كلامه، لا لشيء إلا أن القرآن وكأنه يخاطبه هو هو وليس غيره، ومن له علاقة بالقرآن الكريم يفهم ذلك جيدا.
الرواية الثانية
قال عمر رضي الله عنه: "جاءت أختي إلى المخاض ليلًا، فخرجت من البيت واستظلت بستائر الكعبة في ليلة باردة. فجاء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فدخل الحجر (الساحة المجاورة للكعبة) وصلى ما شاء الله. ثم خرج، فسمعت شيئًا لم أسمعه من قبل. فخرج فتبعته. فقال: من هذا؟ قلت: عمر. فقال: يا عمر، إنك لا تتركني وحدي لا ليلًا ولا نهارًا. فخشيت أن يلعنني، فقلت: أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأنك رسول الله. فقال: يا عمر، احتفظ بهذا لنفسك. فقلت: لا، والذي أرسلك بالحق، لأعلنته كما أعلنت شركي." «خشيتُ أن يدعو عليّ بلعنة الله». من أخبر عمر بن الخطاب، الذي كان كافرًا آنذاك، أن دعاء النبي سيُستجاب من الله عز وجل؟ هل تخشى الطبيعة البشرية من هو قريب من الله عز وجل؟
الرواية الثالثة
خرج عمر رضي الله عنه ذات ليلة، متقلدا السيف ، فلقيه رجل من بني زهرة (أي من اهل أم رسول الله) فقال له : أين تعمد يا عمر؟ قال : أريد أن أقتل محمدا . قال : كيف تأمن في بني هاشم وبني زهرة ، وقد قتلت محمدا ؟ فقال عمر : ما أراك إلا قد صبوت، أي تركت دين آباءك، فقال الرجل : أفلا أدلك على العجب ، إن ختنك وأختك قد صبوا وتركا دينك: أي زوج اختك واختك هما من تركا دين آباءك، فمشى عمر فأتاهما ، وعندهما خباب ، فلما سمع بحس عمر توارى في البيت، أي سيدنا خباب اختبأ خوفا وهلعا من سيدنا عمر، فدخل فقال : ما هذه الهينمة ؟ وكانوا يقرءون سورة طه ، قالا : لا شيء حديثا تحدثناه بيننا . قال : فلعلكما قد صبوتما ؟ فقال له ختنه أي زوج اخته: يا عمر إن كان الحق في غير دينك . فوثب عليه فصرعه صرعا شديدا ، فجاءت أخته لتدفعه عن زوجها ، فنفحها نفحة بيده فدمى وجهها ، فقالت وهي غضبى : وإن كان الحق في غير دينك إني أشهد أن لا إله إ لا الله وأن محمدا عبده ورسوله
فماذا كان رد فعل عمر؟ لعلنا نعرف بعد قليل
فلما يئس عمر قال : أعطوني هذا الكتاب الذي عندكم فأقرؤه ، قال : وكان عمر يقرأ الكتب ، فقالت أخته : إنك رجس ولا يمسه إلا المطهرون ، فقم فاغتسل أو توضأ ، قال : فقام عمر فتوضأ ثم أخذ الكتاب فقرأ طه حتى انتهى إلى قوله : {إنني أنا الله لا إله إلا أنا فاعبدني وأقم صلاة لذكري} قال : قال لأخته وختنه أي زوج اخته ، دلوني اين محمداً صلي الله عليه وسلم الآن، فقالوا له عند جبل الصفا في بيت الأرقم بن ابي الأرقم، فذهب عمر متوشحاً سيفه، اليهم وطرق الباب ،
فقال رسول صلى الله عليه وسلم: ائذن له، فأَذِن له الرجل، ونهض إليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حتى لقيه في الحجرة، فأخذ بمجمع ردائه ثم جذبه جذبة شديدة، فقال: ما جاء بك يا ابن الخطاب؟ فو الله ما أرى أن تنتهى حتى يُنزل الله بك قارعة. فقال عمر: يا رسول الله، جئتك لأُومن بالله ورسوله وبما جاء من عند الله. قال: فكبر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم تكبيرة، فعرف أهل البيت أن عمر قد أسلم. فتفرق أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من مكانهم وقد عزوا في أنفسهم حين أسلم عمر مع إسلام حمزة، وعلموا أنهما سيمنعان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، وينتصفون بهما من عدوهم.
Our discussion today is about a prominent figure in Islam whose life and work strengthened the faith. He once asked Hudhayfah (may God be pleased with him) about a hadith he had memorized from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) concerning the great tribulations. Hudhayfah replied, "Between you and them is a closed door, which is about to be broken." Umar exclaimed, "Will it be broken, you fool! If it were opened, perhaps it could be closed again!" Hudhayfah insisted, "No, it will be broken." He then told him that the door would be broken by the death of someone, and it was said that this person would be Umar himself (may God be pleased with him). Indeed, after the death of Umar ibn al-Khattab, the tribulations began with the assassination of Uthman (may God be pleased with him) and have not ended to this day. Let's learn about this great companion, why he was a closed door to this religion, and what was the source of his strength. Can strength turn into weakness due to emotions? Let's explore this together in this video... So, let's begin.
Omar was a man of strong character and powerful physique, feared by everyone in the Quraysh tribe. He intensely disliked hearing stories about the new Muslims, Islam, and even the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). What happened to transform this hatred and strength into such a tender soul who wept upon hearing verses from the Quran?
The first narration
(listen to the words of Umar himself, may God be pleased with him): He said: I went out to meet the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and found that he had already reached the mosque. I stood behind him, and he began reciting Surah Al-Haqqah. I was amazed by the eloquence of the Quran, and I said: By God, this is a poet, just as the Quraysh said. Then he recited: “Indeed, it is the word of a noble Messenger, and it is not the word of a poet. Little do you believe.” (Surah Al-Haqqah 69:10). Islam then took root in my heart completely.
The Commentary on the first story
The Quran is truly remarkable. We heard in a previous video about the impact of the Holy Quran on the human soul. If you were to find Umar ibn al-Khattab, this strong and courageous man, whose mind no one could manipulate in any way, standing helpless to fully embrace Islam, as he himself put it, it was simply because the Quran seemed to be addressing him directly, and no one else. Anyone familiar with the Holy Quran understands this well.
The second narration
Umar (may God be pleased with him) also said: “My sister went into labor at night, so she left the house and sought refuge in the curtains of the Kaaba on a cold night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and entered the Hijr (the semi-circular area adjacent to the Kaaba) and prayed as much as God willed. Then he left, and I heard something I had never heard before. He came out, and I followed him. He said, ‘Who is this?’ I said, ‘Umar.’ He said, ‘O Umar, you do not leave me alone, neither night nor day.’ I feared that he would invoke God’s curse upon me, so I said, ‘I bear witness that there is no god but God, and that you are the Messenger of God.’ He said, ‘O Umar, keep it to yourself.’ I said, ‘No, by the One who sent you with the truth, I will proclaim it, just as I proclaimed my polytheism.’” Commentary: Consider the phrase, “I feared that he would invoke God’s curse upon me.” Who informed Umar ibn al-Khattab, who was an unbeliever at the time, that the Prophet’s supplication would be answered by God Almighty? Does human nature fear someone who is close to God Almighty?
The third narration
One night, Umar (may God be pleased with him) went out, carrying his sword. A man from Banu Zuhrah (the family of the Prophet's mother) met him and asked, "Where are you going, Umar?" He replied, "I intend to kill Muhammad." The man asked, "How can you be safe among Banu Hashim and Banu Zuhrah after killing Muhammad?" Umar said, "I think you have converted," meaning he had abandoned the religion of his forefathers. The man said, "Shall I tell you something astonishing? Your brother-in-law and your sister have converted and abandoned your religion." Umar went to them, and Khabbab was with them. When Khabbab heard Umar's approach, he hid in the house, fearing Umar. Umar entered and asked, "What is this murmuring?" They were reciting Surah Ta-Ha. They replied, "Nothing, just a conversation we were having." Umar said, "Perhaps you have converted?" His brother-in-law said to him, "O Umar, if the truth lies in a religion other than yours..." He leaped upon him and threw him to the ground. His sister came to defend her husband, but he struck her with his hand, drawing blood from her face. Angry, she said, "Even if the truth lies in a religion other than yours, I bear witness that there is no god but God, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger." What was Umar's reaction? Perhaps we will find out shortly.
When Umar despaired, he said, “Give me this book you have so I can read it.” Umar was able to read books. His sister said, “You are impure, and none but the purified may touch it. So, get up and perform ablution.” Umar got up, performed ablution, took the book, and read Surah Ta-Ha until he reached the verse: “Indeed, I am Allah. There is no deity except Me, so worship Me and establish prayer for My remembrance.” He said to his sister and his brother-in-law, “Show me where Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is now.” They said, “He is at Mount Safa in the house of Al-Arqam ibn Abi Al-Arqam.” So, Umar went to them, his sword drawn, and knocked on the door. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Grant him permission.” So, the man granted him permission, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, went to him and met him in the room. He seized him by the collar of his cloak and pulled him forcefully, saying, “What brings you here, son of Al-Khattab? By Allah, I do not think you will stop until Allah sends down a calamity upon you.” Then Umar said, “O Messenger of God, I have come to you to believe in God and His Messenger and in what has come from God.” The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, then said “Allahu Akbar” (God is Greatest), and the people of the house knew that Umar had embraced Islam. The companions of the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, dispersed from their place, feeling strengthened by Umar’s conversion along with that of Hamza, knowing that they would protect the Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, and that through them they would prevail over their enemy.
The Psychology
Why do people hold one belief and then change it?
The psychological aspects underlying religious conversion are complex and multifaceted. People may adhere to a particular religion seeking meaning, purpose, or belonging, then suddenly change it when they experience a moment of profound realization or are repelled by the actions or beliefs of others within that religion. This abrupt change may be driven by a combination of emotional factors, such as intense anxiety or guilt, and a desire to find a new identity or purpose. The conversion process can be sudden and emotional, often involving a radical shift in self and belief, followed by a change in behavior.
And the witness
This is Umar (may God be pleased with him), the strong and powerful man whom everyone he met feared. He embraced Islam, and when he did, he honored all the Muslims around him. When he embraced Islam, Muslims walked with peace of mind. And you, what talents do you possess? Are you a poet who strengthened Islam with poems that are pleasing to the mind and soul? Are you a doctor who treats people equally, without distinction between Muslim and non-Muslim, to teach people the tolerance of Islam? Are you a merchant? And so on? Tell us in the comments how you have promoted Islam with your talent?
