Al-Farooq (Arabic: الفاروق, "distinguisher") is the title given to one who distinguishes right from wrong.[1] It was a well-known historical title of the second caliph Umar.
Etymology
According to the Lisān al-'Arab (Arabic dictionary by Ibn Manẓūr) al-Farouq refers to making a distinction between two subjects, and is a person who distinguishes between right and wrong.[2] Al-Farooq is translated as "discriminator" by Gerald T. Elmore,[3] Richard F. Burton.[4]
View
Sunni
According to Sunni Muslims, Muhammad entitled Omar bin al-Khattab as al-Farooq.[1] The son of Kahn Jahan, the minister of Muhammad bin Tughluq claimed Omar bin al-Khattab got this title from the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[5] Also Umayyad caliph Sulayman called him discriminator (al-farooq)[6] It is mentioned in the History of Tabari, Taqabat ibn Sad, and Tahdhib "the people of the Book (Jews) were the first to call Umar 'al-Faaruq, we have never heard the Prophet make such reference."[7]
Shia
Among Shia sources there is a hadith attributed to Muhammad in which he entitled Ali ibn Abi Talib as al-Farooq.[8] Abu Dhar al-Ghifari and Salman the Persian narrated some of this Hadithes [9] There is some sources that emphasized that the people of the book called Omar bin al-Khattab as al-Farooq.[8][10]
