He is strong, brave and stern upon his believe. The Prophet (SAW) prayed for his acceptance of Islam. He is one of the 10 companions given the glad tidings of Al-Jannah from this world.
He is a man that the Prophet (SAW) said if there supposed to be a Prophet after me, it would be this man. The Prophet also said if there are Muhaddathun (people who were inspired, though they were not prophets) it would be this man.
He is a man feared by Shaytan, the Prophet was reported to swear by Allah and tell this man that never does Shaytan find you going on a way, but he takes another way than yours.
When he suggests anything to the Prophet or sees something in a Dream. His wills are usually supported by verses of the Holy Quran. He was reported to say my Lord agreed with me in three things which are on making Maqam Ibrahim as a place of Solat, ordering the Mothers of the believers to cover themselves with veil and on the correction of the Mothers to stop troubling the Prophet (SAW). All his advises to the Prophet (SAW) were supported with verses of the Holy Quran.
He is a man who combines high level of piety laying between fear of Allah and wishful to him. He was reported to have said: "If a caller from heaven calls, O people, indeed all of you will enter the Paradise but one man. Indeed I fear that it is me, if that caller calls, O people, indeed all of you will enter the Hell but one man, indeed I wish it is me''.
He was of the first Sahabah to publicly proclaim his believe in Islam. When the Muslims were ordered to migrate to Medinah he again publicly proclaim his emigration. There giving him the nickname Al-Farooq (the distinguisher).
His khilapha as the second Khalipha of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), is highly exemplary. And he is also an exemplary leader and judge. He combines his braveness and strength with high sense of humility.
He is Umar Ibn Khattab, born 13 years after the year of Elephant I. E. The birth of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW). He was stabbed several times by Abu Lu'Lu' when he was about leading the Muslim in Solat which later lead to his death.
May Allah be exceptionally pleased with UMAR Ibn Khattab. And all the Companions of the Rosul their household and those that follow them with goodness.
