You Need To Know Why This Woman Sold Her Complaint To The Muslim Caliph
Classy attitude and Spectacular Judgment
We don't need a nuclear bomb to make a catastrophe.
And we don't need solid things to hit the earth to announce the apocalypse.
Catastrophe could come from just one person, and the apocalypse will come from one decision.
It has been thirty years since the world started running on the wild thing from satellite to the mobile phone and the internet, but we lose our land.
When we move toward supporting the individuals and forget the land, we walk moving toward a dictatorship.
Dictatorship and the pain that we see for many years from leaders that use their position to bring harm and pain to societies, with all that darkness they have created in this world, they succeed in divesting us of the simple meaning of humanity.
The irony is, this Dictatorship happened in the new century, but in the past that didn’t exist.
In the past, they built the true meaning of leadership from taking people's opinions and living in serious ways.
For more than a thousand-year, that was a leader for most vast countries in the world. He teaches us how to be genuine leaders and make justice and equality for every single person in the world.
This leader is Omar Ibn Al-Khattab.
Omar Ibn al-Khattab was the second caliph of the Rashidun Caliphate (632–661 CE, as the first four caliphs, are referred to by the Sunni Muslims.)
Omar was walking daily around the country to know the people’s needs and search for those people who have a tough life.
One day Omar was walking around town, and suddenly he heard a voice from an old woman that looked angry. With an Angrily voice, the woman shouted Omar’s name in response to a complaint about her miserable life.
When Omer reached this woman's house, he said, “Who’s that person who makes you angry and you complain because of him?.” The woman didn’t know how Omer looked like, but she said, “I am angry because of Omar.”
Omar says, “How can Omar know what is happening to you, if you live in a desert far away?” She looked at him and said, “He rules us and overlooked us.”
Omar did not order to imprison that woman or execute her because she said this about him. Omar kept on that hidden character to help that woman.
Omar returned from that desert to Al-Madinah. When he reached, tells his assistant to put the flour on his shoulder. Omar was in his 70s, and he told his assistant to put the flour on his shoulder.
Omar’s assistant was shy about putting that much flour on the Prince of the Muslims. The man told Omar, “You are the prince of Muslims; I can’t put this flour on your shoulders.”
With an angry voice, Omar shout-out to him and said, “put this flour on me, do you will carry mine sins on the judgment day.” So Omar carries the flour and walks from Al-Madinah to that woman’s house.
When he arrived, Omar started cooking for that woman and her children. When Omar was cooking, that woman looked to Omar and said, I swear you are worth the succession more than Omar.
Omar told the woman, “When the morning comes, go to Omar’s house and don’t be afraid, I will tell him your story.”
The next day, the woman went to Omar’s house and sees the man who cooked for her and helped her the night before.
At that moment Ali and Uthman (The caliph for Muslims after Omar) were in Omar’s house, and when that woman came, Ali said, prince of Muslims.
When the woman heard this, she felt scared cause she said terrible things about him. So she tried to turn back before Omar made anything.
Omar said, “Wait, you’re here because I want to give you a little compensation for your pain.” he continued, “How much can you sell me your complaint?.”
The complaint here means the hard days and painful moments that let you angry because of someone.
The woman responded, “The number that you want.” Omar offered her 40 dinars, and she agreed.
Omar ordered to write the following on a piece of paper: “I bought from this woman her complaint about 40 dinars and testified to that (Ali and Othman.)”
Afterward, Omar gave the money to that woman and took that paper to his friends, saying, “Put this piece of paper with my body, when I die and that maybe be merciful to me on judgment day.”
Omar was afraid of God, and that was what made him justice and fair with people.
The actual leaders lead their countries to success until — make them lands a great place to live in.
We get used to seeing inequality and injustice from many leaders.
These people didn’t even reach the lower levels of humanity.
These days, leaders fight for positions and vast wealth.
Omer fought hard to make the Muslim countries and the world safer for people. He made this world a place for equality and justice.
The true leader who gives a hand to the people and walks alongside their needs and dreams.
Leaders listen and feel the needs of people, they search for ways to keep that connection with people, they must take the people’s opinion seriously and try hard to affect it.
A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. — John Maxwell
We need leaders to light our ways to success, we need leaders that take our hand to achieve our dream, we need leaders who know the perfect for us and for the entire world.
We need smart leaders to direct us to success and give hand when we fall.
“Since when you have taken people for slaves and they were born free”
― Umar ibn Al-Khattab
When leaders announce rules or make terrible responses without caring about other peoples’ opinions, that’s how we become slaves.
We’re not slaves, and we are born to make a difference regardless of our skin color, religion, or gender.
When dictatorship is a fact, revolution becomes a right — Victor Hugo
The Dictatorship must end and the solution between our hands (That call a revolution.)
If we let these dictators leaders do what they want, that will be an Apocalypse.
Let’s put all those murderers who committed these massacres in prison.
If we keep supporting these leaders and we forget our lands, that will have devastating effects because the leaders are variable and the land constant.
Let us dominate the dictators. Let’s support the land and ourselves because the countries thrive on the people’s power and on how effortless they are to make their land better.
