Abstract:

The content of this study includes Umar’s methods of learning and understanding of the Qur’an and the effects of these methods in sharpening Umar's understanding of the Qur’an. Living in a sacred geography with the prophet and a community such as his distinguished companions, this experience has added greater importance to his perception and knowledge of the Qur’an. There are some methods which Umar followed to learn and understand the Qur’an. Accordingly, it has been seen that Omar had read the Qur’an many times, repeatedly, placing great importance on memorizing it and understanding it. Whenever there was a verse Umar did not completely understand, he asked people who knew, of which the prophet was his priority. He considered spreading the learning of the Qur’an, over time appropriate. It has also been seen that he has given special importance to Arabic poems to better understand verses.
