EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when the Muslim Caliph Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, a pivotal figure in Islamic history, entered the newly conquered city of Jerusalem in 637 AD. Omar's military campaign marked the end of Byzantine rule in the region and the beginning of Muslim control over the Holy Land. The print depicts Omar, dressed in traditional Arabian clothing and mounted on a horse, leading his army through the Jaffa Gate, which is considered one of the oldest and most significant entrances to Jerusalem. The city's ancient walls and towers can be seen in the background, while the crowd of soldiers and citizens follows closely behind, waving flags and banners. The conquest of Jerusalem was a significant milestone in Islamic history, as it solidified the Muslim presence in the region and marked the beginning of the Umayyad Caliphate. Omar's respect for the religious sites of Jerusalem, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, earned him the admiration of both Muslims and Christians, and his rule was characterized by religious tolerance and fair governance. The image offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in the rich history of Jerusalem and the Middle East, and serves as a reminder of the enduring significance of this ancient city to the world's major religions.
