Fazl-e-Umar — Page 338
Fazle Umar 338 tH e f az L e u mar One of his prophetic titles was Fazle Umar , indicating his spiritual affinity to Hadhrat Umar [ra] , the Second Successor of the Holy Prophet [saw]. The Khalifatul Masih not only became the Second Successor of the Promised Messiah [as] , the spiritual reflection of the Holy Prophet [saw] , but several of the projects undertaken by him, and his achievements in diverse spheres, bore a close resemblance to the achievements of Hadhrat Umar [ra] , even the almost fatal tragedy to which he was subjected by his assailant was identical with the tragedy that brought the Second Khilafat of the Holy Prophet [saw] , to a sudden and premature end. Hadhrat Umar [ra] was also attacked in the middle of the Prayer service that he was leading by a non-Muslim who had worked up some grudge against him and who inflicted with a dagger severe injuries upon him which proved fatal.
