Umar Ibn Khattab and His Relationship With the Qur'an
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper discusses the role of Umar ibn Khattab in the process of Quranic revelation. Various books, especially Tarikh Khulafa by Jalaluddin as-Suyuthi, frequently depict Umar ibn Khattab as a figure actively involved in several stages of revelation through his words and actions. Avraham Hakim even considers this to be evidence of Umar ibn Khattab's active partnership with God in the process of revelation. With this background, the paper systematically examines the brief biography, involvement in the revelation process, and contextual interpretation of Umar ibn Khattab. The results and discussion reveal that Umar ibn Khattab was a brilliant, creative, and innovative companion of Prophet Muhammad, affirming his involvement in the revelation process not only due to his selectiveness but also based on his characteristics. Umar ibn Khattab's courage sets a good precedent for a critical stance and contextual interpretation of certain Quranic verses, such as those related to prisoners of war and hypocrites.
