ruled for twelve years, the longest among the rightly guided Caliphs.
During his rule people became economically more prosperous and he
further undertook such activities and projects which also improved their
overall quality of life. He was a peace loving, liberal and kind
hearted ruler.
Uthman Ibn Affan (ra), had all the qualities of the good Muslim but his
generosity and modesty stood out. He was the richest person among the
Quraish but he spent most of his wealth in the well being of his people
and in the cause of Islam. In particular he helped the orphans and the
widows. In spite of being rich and powerful he was extremely humble and
lived a simple life.
Uthman Ibn Affan (ra), was very religious and a man of
principles and whatever might be the circumstances he
never compromised with his beliefs and principles. Thrice he received
the glad tidings of Paradise from the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
