"Abu Bakr was like that when I was more misguided than my family's camel"
Jubair ibn Nafeer related that group of men said to Umar ibn al-Khattaab,
“We have never met any man who judges more justly than you do; nor any man who speaks the truth more reliably and consistently than you do; nor a man who is more severe against the hypocrites than you are, O Leader of the Believers. After the Messenger of Allah you are the best of people.”
Awf ibn Maalik did not even give Umar a chance to respond to their praise instead he quickly interjected,
“By Allah, you are all lying. After the Messenger of Allah (died), we have indeed seen someone who is better (than Umar).”
“Who is that man?”
- someone asked.
Awf replied,
“Abu Bakr (radiyAllahu anh).”
Umar said,
“Awf has spoken the truth and the rest of you have lied. By Allah, Abu Bakr was better than the fragrance of al-Misk (the best kind of perfume) and he was like that at a time when I was more misguided than my family’s camel.”
Umar was referring to when he was still a polytheist for Abu Bakr embraced Islam six years before he did the same.
(Manaaqib Umar, by ibn al-Jawzi, pg. 14 and Mahd as-Sawaab, 2/586)
It is a sign of humbleness to show respect to one’s superiors. Umar as illustrated in the previous example paid respect not just to the living but also to the dead. With the passing of years, some people forgot about the best of the Prophet’s Companions, Abu Bakr. But Umar did not let them forget; instead he reminded them about Abu Bakr’s superiority and about his noble character. Umar’s response – “Awf has spoken the truth, and the rest of you have lied, By Allah, Abu Bakr was better than the fragrance of al-Misk – was a testimony both to his loyalty and to his strong faith.

The sea world is full of secrets, but scientists have discovered the existence of volcanoes that flow from the depths of the seas, they throw molten lava stones that are liquid stones with very high temperature, and these molten substances come out from the sea and raise the temperature of the sea water.
The Quran talked about this phenomenon as God says:
(And by the Burning sea)
[Surat At-Tur, verse: 6]
And the word (Al-Masjoor) means the burning and flammable, scientists say that this phenomenon (the phenomenon of the burning sea) exists in all the seas of the world..](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_sgGF6s26Fwo6Svn3Wm2C3IKYxFH9eP63haTd7op87TVHnvj0tQMPovMpgTBXSYBeS68Pw1XWsvyu6FEaaIuLo9vaTminI3GA9ZlX37tROE2126zGabaPSrEEbbKVa9KgI6mqhulwr-1wL0oI3TbppzCv0XtXc_RzkK2U1WEOSv3is6FS83WWnNyz6nw3sx=s0-d)
![Photo: "He (Jehoram) was 32 years old when he became king, and he ruled for 8 years in Jerusalem. No one was sorry to see him die. He was buried in the City of David but not in the tombs of the kings." [2 Chronicles 21:20]
"The people of Jerusalem made Jehoram's YOUNGEST son Ahaziah king in his place, because the raiders who came to the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Jehoram's son Ahaziah became king of Judah. Ahaziah was 42 years old when he began to rule, and he ruled for one year in Jerusalem."
[2 Chronicles 22:1-2]
◕ Now let's wait a minute and reason this !!
● Jehoram was 32 years old when he became king
● he ruled for 8 years then died .. so he was 32+8= 40 years
● In the same time his YOUNGEST son was 42 years old .. so Ahaziah the YOUNGEST son was 2 years elder than his father.](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_s0-H4R2icqR1_af4ofWvZJtSXbgedN3oFKeLADn5tFg8iLoSFxW64Eod-mSLCXSuSo0Lw4Hj4yM6ZlJsHp5UsQXYshXWPwMg7g63de6Mt4jQfOw59cq61S7hxi-3uijS1BTtgx-yKaxB5X-Avw8MfjErvaeSjoM6J63qVXtjkvhxMPEgyhwNGsDUCqy6g=s0-d)
