About this episode
Injustice and turning away from the guidance of Allah is the cause of the downfall of every nation, and usually it deteriorates from within, collapsing on itself. A people who accept an oppressive sovereignty constantly live in fear and insecurity and sooner or later, Allah sends upon them another power to rule them.

In this podcast, we take you on a visual journey through the streets of Jerusalem, recounting the historical background and significance of Umar (RA)'s entry into this sacred city. As we explore the story, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the role Umar (RA) played in shaping the course of Islamic history and his famous Pact, which outlined the rights and protections granted to the Christian and Jewish inhabitants of Jerusalem, setting a precedent for religious tolerance.
