Marwan I chooses Abd Al-Malik Ibn Marwan to be his successor, with Abd Al-Aziz being second in line to the throne. Abd Al-Aziz embarks on a trip to Cairo as he becomes its ruler.

Abd Al-Aziz asks the wise shepherd to help him run Egypt. When Marwan I falls ill, Abd Al-Aziz goes to see him. Marwan I passes away, and Abd Al-Malik Ibn Marwan becomes the caliph.

Abd Al-Malik Ibn Marwan sends his army to Africa to get things under control and spread Islam. Young Umar clashes with Al-Hajjaj Ben Yusef.

Al-Hajjaj Ben Yusef takes advantage of Abd Al-Malik and Abd Al-Aziz's absence to impose his control. But when he imprisons Anas, young Umar stands up to him.

As Umar becomes a young man, Abd Al-Malik gets attacked by a man who tries to kill him, but Umar saves him.

As Abd Al-Malik investigates his assassination attempt, he discovers that Khubayb Ibn Al-Awan is behind the attempt on his life. Khubayb accuses the caliph of killing his father.

Umar discovers that the caliph has a huge fortune in Bayt Al-Mal (the treasury). Abd Al-Malik pardons Ibn Al-Muhallab and sets him free. When Umar suggests starting the minting of Arabic coinage to replace the Persian coins, Abd Al-Malik heeds his counsel.

As Al-Hajjaj Ben Yusef tries to drive a wedge between Abd Al-Malik and Umar, Abd Al-Malik takes notice of his true intent. As Umar asks to marry Abd Al-Malik's daughter Fatima, Abd Al-Malik approves the marriage.

Abd Al-Malik's wife opposes Umar and Fatima's marriage, insisting that Abd Al-Aziz and his family covet the throne. Fatima insists on wedding Umar.

Umar rebukes Abd Al-Malik for allowing Al-Hajjaj Ben Yusef free reign, which enabled the latter to slaughter people and rob Bayt Al-Mal. As rumors abound that Abd Al-Malik intends to get rid of Umar, the confrontation instead increases Abd Al-Malik's trust in Umar.

As Shu'aib is relieved from his post, Abd Al-Malik makes Umar the governor of Khanaser, Aleppo. Atikah grows mad when she learns about Umar's appointment and warns Al-Walid that Umar might replace him as his father's successor

As Umar arrives in Khanaser, he begins his reign by enacting reforms, asking for Bayt Al-Mal to be audited and the wrongfully imprisoned to be set free.

Umar orders the arrest of Amer Ath-Thaqafi, the treasurer of Bayt Al-Mal. Fearing that Umar will be betrayed, Layla asks Abd Al-Aziz to convince Umar to leave his office as governor, but Abd Al-Aziz refuses to heed her.

As Umar cuts down the salaries of the soldiers and the court's entourage, they all abandon their posts and leave Khanaser, with Amer Ath-Thaqafi managing to escape with them. Umar gives back the usurped rights to their rightful owners.

Umar appoints Dirham as the treasurer of Bayt Al-Mal. Al-Hajjaj informs Abd Al-Malik that Umar has released all the prisoners without seeking permission from the caliph.

When Al-Hajjaj's sons kidnap Dirham's sons, Dirham informs Umar about the incident, receiving a promise from Umar to have his children released. Umar decides to relieve Dirham from his post.

As Abd Al-Aziz falls ill, his condition quickly deteriorates till he passes away. Umar asks Abd Al-Malik not to make him the second in line in the succession, prompting Abd Al-Malik to appoint Sulayman as Al-Walid's successor.

Umar welcomes his first son, whom he names Abd Al-Malik. As Abd Al-Malik Ibn Marwan passes away, Al-Walid succeeds him and becomes the caliph. Fearing that Umar might rebel against him, Al-Walid relieves Umar of his post as the governor of Khanaser.

As Al-Hajjaj poisons Al-Walid's mind against Umar, Umar declares his innocence of Al-Hajjaj's accusations and tries to convince Al-Walid to dismiss Al-Hajjaj to put an end to his evil machinations.

As Umar gets close to Al-Walid, he suggests for Al-Walid to build a big mosque in Damascus. Al-Hajjaj informs Al-Walid that a rebellion is brewing as people want Umar to replace him as the caliph.

When Sheikh Al-Halabi gets arrested, Umar defends him in front of Al-Walid, but the latter sentences Al-Halabi to life imprisonment. As an attempt is made on Umar's life, Dirham saves him, leaving him injured as he takes an arrow to the back.

Out of sadness over Al-Hajjaj's death, Al-Walid falls ill and soon passes away. As Sulayman becomes the caliph, he appoints Yazid Ibn Al-Muhallab to replace Al-Hajjaj. Umar petitions Sulayman to release Al-Halabi, but Sulayman refuses his request.

Sulayman makes alliances as he gets ready for a potential war against Byzantium. Umm Al-Banin discovers that Sulayman wants to make his own son heir apparent instead of her son. Sulayman passes away after falling ill.
