Saudi Arabia announces rock inscriptions bearing the name of the Hazrat Umar, the second of the Rashidun Caliphs.
"God is the guardian of Umar Ibn al-Khattab in this world and the hereafter, and there is no god but God. Muhammad is the Messenger of God"
Dr. Muhammad Al-Douri, a specialist in drawing the Qur’an, also commented on the inscription, saying that he studied the nature of the Hijazi (or Northern) script that appears in the writing, and concluded that the calligraphic features support its attribution to the time period in which Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with.
He explained that among these features is the writing style that appears in leaving part of the word at the end of the line and writing it at the beginning of the next line, a style known in some old manuscripts, especially the thousand-verse Qur’an manuscripts.
