Here is Umar,
Umar (Arabic: عمر ابن الخطاب; Transliteration: `Umar ibn al-Khattāb, c. 586–590 – 7 November 644), also known as Omar, was the Prophet Muhammad's friend, one of his companions and the second Muslim ruler after Muhammad's death for 10 years.[1]
Converting to Islam in the 6th year of its establishment, he spent 18 years in companionship of Muhammad, during which he was not assigned to any civil or military authority[2][3] and his role in Islam is significant when he succeeded Caliph Abu Bakr on 23 August 634 as the second Caliphate. Under Umar the Islamic empire expanded at an unprecedented rate ruling the whole Sassanid Persian Empire and more than two thirds of the Eastern Roman Empire.[4] His legislative abilities, his firm political and administrative control over a rapidly expanding empire and his brilliantly coordinated multi-prong attacks against the Sassanid Persian Empire that resulted in the conquest of the Persian empire in less than two years, marked his reputation as a great political and military leader.[5] He was killed by a Persian captive.
Sunni Muslims view him as the Second Rashidun and know him as Farooq the great[citation needed]. On the other hand, Shia Muslims view him doing Coup d'état against Ali's right to successorship[6] and directly being responsible for Fatima's death.[7]
Umar is regarded as one of the most influential figures in Islamic history. He was in a true sense the architect of the Islamic Empire. As a leader, 'Umar was known for his simple, austere lifestyle. Rather than adopt the pomp and display affected by the rulers of the time, he continued to live much as he had when Muslims were poor and persecuted. 'Umar was vigorous, robust and a very tall man, in markets he would tower above the people. The front part of his head was bald, always A'sara Yusran (working with two hands),[64] both his eyes are black, with yellow skin, however, ibn Sa'ad in his book The Book of the Major Classes (Tabaqat al-Kubra) stated that he never knew that 'Umar had yellow skin, except if the people took into criterion a certain part of his life where his color changed because he always ate oil at that part of his life,[65] Others say he has reddish-white skin. His teeth were ashnabul asnan (very white shining). He would always color his beard and take care of his hair using a type of plant.[65][66]
