Moreover, he also married two daughters of Prophet (PBUH) which gave him the epithet of Zunnurain. He took the seat of Ameerul Momeeneen after Ummar Bin Khattab. During his reign the Muslim empire expanded to Iran and Afghanistan. Moreover, his reign is also known for the economic prosperity and reforms along with the compilation of Quran in the form of a single version by eradicating all the stylistic differences recited in different areas at that time.
