How was Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz in his caliphate?

The biography of the righteous predecessors and the righteous caliphs is a commendable matter that motivates a Muslim to emulate them. The era of Omar ibn Abd al-Aziz was distinctive due to his biography resembling that of the Rightly Guided Caliphs. The Prophet, peace be upon him, referred to his era and praised it. Many scholars considered him one of the renewers of this religion. Omar ibn al-Khattab used to say that from his descendants there would be a man who would fill the earth with justice, and Nafi', the freedman of Ibn Omar, and Saeed ibn al-Musayyab attributed this saying to Omar ibn Abd al-Aziz. His biography was a great example in his justice, asceticism, and good character. He was Omar ibn Abd al-Aziz ibn Marwan, and his mother was Layla bint Asim ibn Omar ibn al-Khattab. He was a just ruler, a fair imam, and a devout, pious man. His uprightness and eagerness for knowledge became apparent from a young age, and he asked his father to send him to Medina to be educated in the manners of the jurists. Anas ibn Malik saw his prayer as being closest to the prayer of the Prophet, peace be upon him. If a difficult matter arose for him, he would gather the jurists of Medina to consult them. Signs of piety and asceticism appeared on him from the beginning of his caliphate, and he turned away from the luxurious conveyances and garments of the caliphate. He addressed the people, saying that his soul yearned for Paradise after the caliphate, and he emphasized that he was neither a religious authority nor a judge, but rather an executor and a follower, and that there is no obedience to a creature in disobedience to the Creator. During his short rule, he strived to redress grievances and enriched the poor, the needy, orphans, and others. His wife, Fatima, described his sadness and contemplation of the affairs of the Ummah, and his fear of accountability before Allah. Malik ibn Dinar described him as an ascetic who left the world gaping. He lived a life of extreme asceticism. He passed away on the 25th of Rajab in the year 101 AH, after two years, five months, and four days of his caliphate.
