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 Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik 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]
