Akhbar Umar, fully known as Akhbar ʽUmar wa-Akhbar ʽAbd Allah ibn ʽUmar (Arabic: أخبار عُمر وَأَخْبار عبد الله بن عُمر) is a biography of the Rashidun caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab and his son, Abdullah ibn Umar. The book is written by Ali Al-Tantawi, an award-winning Syrian Islamic scholar and historian, while an appendix at the back is written by his brother, Naji Al-Tantawi.
Mohammad Ali Al-Tantawi was an Islamic scholar, historian and professor. He was awarded the King Faisal Prize in 1990 for his efforts in Islamic scholarship and research.[1][2] Al-Tantawi later moved to Saudi Arabia where he lived the rest of his life until he eventually died in 1999, and was buried in Jeddah.[3]
