MOSQUE OF OMAR (KHANDAQ)

The Post of the Faruq.

Umar in Defense of Medina

This mosque, within the complex of the seven mosques of Khandaq, marks the position of Umar ibn al-Khattab during the siege.

Umar had such a reputation as a formidable warrior that his mere presence on a section of the trench was enough to deter enemy cavalry attacks.

The Hadith about Umar and Satan

The Prophet ﷺ said: "By Him in Whose Hand is my soul, if Satan were to meet you on a path, O Umar, he would take another path." (Sahih al-Bukhari no. 3294 · Sahih Muslim no. 2396)
