At that time Jerusalem was controlled by the Roman King, Heraklitus, who in 636 AD declared surrender to the Abu Ubaidillah Commander bin Jarrah. The Roman King handed Jerusalem over to Abu Ubaidillah bin Jarrah who is the warlord of Umar.

The handover of Jerusalem is planned to be carried out by signing the agreement. However, the condition is that the agreement must be signed by Umar directly. Although the commander of Abu Ubaidillah had refused, Umar instead agreed and went to the agreement.

What was surprising was that during his arrival, Umar only came riding a camel without a large escort. He was only accompanied by an aide. Many do not expect that Umar, who is a great Khalifah and is feared, looks simple but has great courage.
