Best Answer

Umar of Arabia (Umar bin Khattab) is known for his justice, wisdom, management, hardworking, and power.

He ruled the Islamic empire and was the 3rd ruler in Islam after prophit Muhammad and Abu Bakr.

During his 10 years as Khalifa (ruler), the Islamic empire doubled its size, siezed Sassanid empire and more than two thirds of the Byzantine empire which were the two most powerful and largest empires at that time.

Also, he established a lot of rules and a law which made his empire known of its justice and stability.

All kind of people and religions were there and lived in peace without problems, and as a result, the Islamic empire were able to expand much more later and to achieve the civil achievements it did later.
