Hazrat Umar ibn al-Khattab led the Muslim empire from 634 to 644 CE as the caliph. During his reign, the empire expanded significantly through military conquests. He established key administrative reforms, including formalizing the treasury system, introducing new tax systems, and establishing government departments for the military, taxation, education, police, and finances. Hazrat Umar is praised for his self-accountability, prohibiting private business for officials, and applying laws equally to all. His leadership and administrative skills transformed the early Muslim community into a major world power.
