Hazrat Usman R.A Being Third Caliphate in the History of Islam

Being Third Caliphate in the History of Islam

At the time of death of Hazrat Umar (R.A), the second Caliph of Muslims, he appointed a committee of 6 of the most blessed companions of the Holy Prophet ﷺ and gave them task of selecting 3rd Caliph after him. Eventually, Hazrat Umar (R.A) was chosen as the next Ameer (the leader) of the followers of Islam.

Some of the milestones that he achieved during his reign are:

1. Continuation of the tradition of Hazrat Umar (R.A) and expanding the Islamic state to far off non Arab countries
2. Formation of Naval Muslim forces leading to more effective outreach to distant regions of the world
3. Winning an emphatic naval battle against Byzantine Empire consisting of 500 ships
4. Ultimate glorification of Islamic State through victories over Byzantine and Roman realms and capturing the North African territories

Throughout his time in power, he kept his tradition of kindness and generosity to fellow Muslims and never raised a war against own people despite stubborn and unjust opposition of a few group of so called Muslims.
