Today, in Pakistani newspapers there are a lot of articles praising Umar Ibn Khattab as first person who made:
1. Army System, their salaries, their holidays system, etc
2. Police System,
3. Prison System
4. New cities
etc.
They are totally wrong and telling a lie. Umar Ibn Khattab was not the first one who introduced these things, but the truth is this that:
Muslim simply followed the superior rulings of Byzantine Empire; as they had already all kind of set rules for armies, jails, and courts, post offices, Trade rules, Taxation system, freeing slaves, new calendar, and new churches and finally building new cities. If someone remembered the short time of Alexander, 60 new cities were built with the name of ''Alexandria''. It was approximately 900 years before the arrival of Islam.There was nothing new, all these things were already happening in Byzantine Empire. Let’s see how a Muslim historian, Masudi, praised the Sassanian administration of Persia: "excellent administration of the Sassanid kings, their well-ordered policy, their care for their subjects, and the prosperity of their domains." All agricultural reforms in Arabia were brought from Persia. This was old stuff for world.
