LEARNED MAN OF UMMAH
The khalifa umar ibn-al-khattab often sought his advice on important matters of state and branded him as “the young man of maturity”. He was not content to accumulate knowledge. He felt he had a duty to the ummah to educate those who are in search of knowledge.He turned to teaching and his house was a complete university. It was university in full sense with specialize teaching but with one difference that ‘there was only one teacher who was ‘Abdullah Ibn Abbas.’
Conclusion
He had genuine and abiding concern for people. He said ” after realizing the importance of a verse of God’s Book, “I would wish that all people should know what I know.” His service for ummah was incredible. May Alllah accept our deen and choose us among his best people, to convey his message to masses. Ameen ya Rabb !
