Who was Umar Mukhtar

Umar Mukhtar was a Libyan mujahid who was executed by the Italians during Italy’s colonial occupation of Libya. A quran teacher by profession, his courage, perseverance and strategy in leading the rebellion have inspired generations of Muslim mujahids. He led the rebellion for 20 years until his capture and execution at the age of 70.
“He was a legend who was firm in his religion at a time when the leaders of his country emigrated (as they do today ) to surrender to the Italians. The biggest scholars of his time from the Sanusies, who previously fought with him against the French and British, did not come to his aid in time. Instead, many of them became loyal to the Italians by giving them Muslim lands in exchange for clemency, montly salaries, and free taxation from the latter. Such is true for Muslims today.
On the contrary, this man took out his Qur’an, held it, he gave an oath to Allah that he would not stop fighting the occupying oppressors even if it meant fighting them alone until victory had been attained or he becomes a martyr. In the last twenty years of his life, he led and personally fought in 1000 battles. ”

Jadi dari sini lah nama Umar Mukhtar tu mami ambil, muga semangat juangnya yang tinggi terhadap agama ALLAH akan meresap kejiwa anak mami yang sorang ini, aaamin
