Hazrat Umar, the second Caliph, was an ideal and exemplary Muslim Ruler who discharged his duties remarkably setting a model and mould for an Islamic state. His policies and precepts were based on the principles and teachings of the Quran and Sunnah. All the pious Caliphs had a Consultative Assembly, called the Majlis-i-Shura, composed of some able and learned companions, who were consulted in all important affairs of the administration. During the reign of Hazrat Umar there were two such consultative bodies. One was a general assembly which was convened by making a general announcement and where only affairs of national importance were discussed. For the conduct of daily business, there was a separate committee on a smaller scale.
