Born in 584 AD, He was the second caliph (in arabic خليفة, pronounced Kha-lee-fa, meaning successor) of the prophet Muhammad. The first was named Abu-Bakr. Umar ruled for about 10 years, and was killed in the mosque known as Masjid-Al-Nabawi (The Mosque of the Prophet) by a man named Abu-Lu'lua, who challenged one of his verdicts as a judge passed against him. Umar was originally a great enemy against the spread of Islam, but he later embraced it and is said to be the second-greatest man alive after the prophets, the first being Abu-Bakr. His reign was full of remarkable conquests, and he ended up conquering Byzantium and Persia- the superpowers of the day.
After the passing away of the last Prophet of Islam (SAW) his closest friend, father-in-law and the most trusted follower Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU) was chosen the Caliph by the Companions (RAU). Some of the tribes refused to pay Zakat (slamic Tax-2.5% of the annual saving). Some of the fake Prophets also revolted against the Central Governent. Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU) faced these challenges with great courage, skill, bravery and valour. He sent armies against these people and succeeded in mounted these, otherwise unsurmoutable challenges. Hazrat Khalid bi Waleed (RAU) was the chief commander of the Muslim forces fighting against the rebels. Hazrat Abu Bakr (RAU) was succeeded by Hazrat Umar (RAU) under whose reign Islam spread very rapidly far and wide.

Abu Bakr, Uthmann, Umar, the first three khalifas. What is meant by "escaped"? Abu Bakr died naturally, the other two by violence. None "escaped" in the usual sense.

As one of the Companions, he was on the Leadership Track after the death of Abu Bakr. His only real competition was Ali, based on the arguable bloodline connection to the Prophet (Ali's parisans became the Shiites; Umar's were the Sunnis). This is not to say the matters were handled cordially. Abu Bakr managed to die of natural causes, but beginning with Umar, the tradition of murdering caliphs was established.Answer 2He was not elected. he himself claimed to have a letter from Abubakr willing that Umar should be Caliph after his death. some scholars say this letter is made by Umar himself and Umar used stamp of Abubakr after death of Abubakr. Imam Ali a.s. never has any interest in power and said: the value of power that you are seeking it for me is less than the water of nose of a goat unless if I can take the right of a wronged using it or if I can establish justice using it.
They were very good friends. They shared the position as Muhammad's two closest advisers with no apparent jealousy. When Abu Bakr became caliph, Umar was his strongest supporter. They both understood that Umar was to be the second caliph after him.
