large;\">Umar ibn Al-Khattab, the second caliph of Islam, was stabbed by a Persian slave Abu Lu\u2019lu\u2019ah, a Persian Magian, while leading the Fajr Prayer.\u00a0 As Umar was lying on his death bed, the people around him asked him to appoint a successor.\u00a0 Umar appointed a committee of six people to choose the next caliph from among themselves.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">This committee comprised Ali ibn Abi Talib, Uthman ibn Affan, Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf, Sad ibn Abi Waqqas, Az-Zubayr ibn Al-Awam, and Talhah ibn Ubayd Allah, who were among the most eminent Companions of the Prophet, may God send His praises upon him, and who had received in their lifetime the tidings of Paradise.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The instructions of Umar were that the Election Committee should choose the successor within three days, and he should assume office on the fourth day.\u00a0 As two days passed by without a decision, the members felt anxious that the time was running out fast, and still no solution to the problem appeared to be in sight.\u00a0 Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf offered to forgo his own claim if others agreed to abide by his decision.\u00a0 All agreed to let Abdur-Rahman choose the new caliph.\u00a0 He interviewed each nominee and went about Medinah asking the people for their choice.\u00a0 He finally selected Uthman as the new caliph, as the majority of the people chose him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">His Life as a Caliph<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Uthman led a simple life even after becoming the leader of the Islamic state.\u00a0 It would have been easy for a successful businessman such as him to lead a luxurious life, but he never aimed at leading such in this world.\u00a0 His only aim was to taste the pleasure of the hereafter, as he knew that this world is a test and temporary.\u00a0 Uthman\u2019s generosity continued after he became caliph.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The caliphs were paid for their services from the treasury, but Uthman never took any salary for his service to Islam.\u00a0 Not only this, he also developed a custom to free slaves every Friday, look after widows and orphans, and give unlimited charity.\u00a0 His patience and endurance were among the characteristics that made him a successful leader.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Uthman achieved much during his reign.\u00a0 He pushed forward with the pacification of Persia, continued to defend the Muslim state against the Byzantines, added what is now Libya to the empire, and subjugated most of Armenia.\u00a0 Uthman also, through his cousin Mu&#8217;awiyah ibn Abi Sufyan, the governor of Syria, established an Arab navy which fought a series of important engagements with the Byzantines.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Of much greater importance to Islam, however, was Uthman&#8217;s compilation of the text of the Quran as revealed to the Prophet.\u00a0 Realizing that the original message from God might be inadvertently distorted by textual variants, he appointed a committee to collect the canonical verses and destroy the variant recensions.\u00a0 The result was the text that is accepted to this day throughout the Muslim world.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Opposition and the End<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">During his caliphate, Uthman faced much of hostility from new, nominal Muslims in newly Islamic lands, who started to accuse him of not following the example Prophet and the preceding caliphs in matters concerning governance .\u00a0 However, the Companions of the Prophet always defended him.\u00a0 These accusations never changed him.\u00a0 He remained persistent to be a merciful governor.\u00a0 Even during the time when his foes attacked him, he did not use the treasury funds to shield his house or himself.\u00a0 As envisaged by Prophet Muhammad, Uthman\u2019s enemies relentlessly made his governing difficult by constantly opposing and accusing him.\u00a0 His opponents finally plotted against him, surrounded his house, and encouraged people to kill him.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Many of his advisors asked him to stop the assault but he did not, until he was killed while reciting the Quran exactly as the Prophet had predicted.\u00a0 Uthman died as a martyr.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: times new roman,times;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Anas ibn
