" Discover key lessons of Islam as narrated by Umar Ibnul-Khattab and the angel Jibril. Learn about Islam, Iman, Ihsan, and signs of the Doomsday "

From, Umar Ibnul-Khattab r.a, he said: "While we were sitting in a meeting with Rasulullah SAW, one day suddenly a man appeared in the meeting dressed in all white, with very black hair, there was no sign that he was a traveller, and none of us recognized him, then he sat with the Prophet SAW, and his knees were found with the two knees of the Prophet SAW and he placed his palms on the two thighs of the Prophet SAW, and said : 

The young man : " Tell me about Islam ?"

Rasulullah SAW : " Islam, that is to say the syahadah - that there is no God but Allah Ta'ala and that Muhammad is the Messenger, and to pray, give zakat, fast in the month of Ramadan and perform Hajj to Baitullah when able to go there "

The young man : " You are right "

 ( Umar r.a said : " We were surprised by the young man's behavior, he asked and he said yes ") 

The young man: " Tell me about Iman ? "

Rasulullah SAW : " You should believe in God, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day and you should believe in God's good or bad destiny "

The young man : " You're right !  Tell me, about Ihsan ?"

Rasulullah SAW : " You should worship God as if you saw Him. If you can't see Him, God can always see you "

The young man : " Tell me, about the Doomsday ?"

Rasulullah SAW : " No one who is asked knows more than the one who asked "

The young man : " Tell me, about the signs ?" 

Rasulullah SAW : " When a slave girl gives birth to her own master; When you see a barefoot, unclothed person, a goatherd ( proudly ) builds a tall building "

( Then the young man walked out of the meeting )

Rasulullah SAW : " Do you know, Umar, ' who is the young man who asked the question earlier ? '"

Umar Al-Khattab r.a : " Only God and His Messenger knows "

Rasulullah SAW : " That is Jibril a.s. who has come to me to teach you the lessons of your religion "
