At 10 years old, he became Muslim. At 23, he risked death sleeping in the Prophet’s bed while assassins waited. At 63, he was murdered while praying—his beard soaked with blood, still in prostration.
His blood fell on the verse “Allah will suffice you against them” as assassins killed him during Quran recitation. At 82, fasting, refusing to defend himself—Uthman’s final moments defined his entire life.
He set out with a sword to kill the Prophet ﷺ. Then one moment changed everything. Umar’s (RA) conversion to Islam was so powerful, the Prophet (PBUH) made dua specifically for him.
