When was Umar ibn al-Khattab martyred?

Explanation

Umar ibn al-Khattab (R.A), the second Caliph of Islam, was stabbed by a Persian slave named Abu Lu'lu'a Firoz while leading the Fajr (dawn) prayer in the Prophet's Mosque in Madina. He succumbed to his wounds three days later in 23 AH (644 CE). His martyrdom marked the end of a remarkable era of justice, expansion, and administrative excellence in Islamic governance.

Good to know

Umar (R.A) ruled as Caliph for about ten and a half years (13-23 AH), during which the Islamic empire expanded to include Persia, Syria, Egypt, and Jerusalem. He was the first to be given the title "Ameer-ul-Momineen" (Commander of the Faithful). Before his death, he appointed a six-member committee (Shura) to choose the next Caliph, which ultimately selected Usman ibn Affan (R.A).
