In reality, the actual cause for Hazrat ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) accepting Islam was the du‘aa of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam).

Initially, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would make du‘aa saying, “O Allah! Give honor to Islam with either Abu Jahal or ‘Umar bin Khattaab, whichever one is more dear to You.”
