This is a sub-article to Umar. The history of non-Muslim scholarship on Umar regards Umar as a pivotal figure in the history of Islam, since it was under his aegis that the Muslims expanded outwards from the Syro-Arabian steppe and fought the great powers of the time, the Sassanid and Byzantine empires. However the most recent studies on the succession to Muhammad portray his priority as political and not religious.
