This intellectual biography of 'Umar comprises detailed description and discussion of some aspects of his religious thought. These aspects, especially the spiritual-moral vision of 'Umar, which forms the very core of his thought--as has emerged particularly in the middle chapter--, are central and fundamental to any fresh, meaningful study not only of 'Umar's political thought--which seems to be firmly grounded in his religious thought--but also of his policies and activities as caliph and, more directly, of his political objectives and motives. / Being a deeply religious man 'Umar sought primarily to ensure the safety of his soul. He strove to approximate to the letter and spirit of the personal and social teachings of the Prophet. The religious ideology as crystalized in the Qur'an and such other sources seems to have established both the outer limits and a great many inner details of his theoretical constructions.
