"Umar" is an intriguing Malaysian drama that premiered on Astro Oasis on March 2, 2025. Directed by Hadith Omar and produced by Suhan Movies & Trading, it is adapted from the novel "Umar" by Fariesya Fauzy. 

Plot Synopsis

The story revolves around Umar, an orphan raised by his aunt, Damia. Despite his mischievous nature, Damia fiercely defends him from the villagers who want to expel him. The plot thickens with the arrival of Firaz, the twin brother of Umar's father, who comes to claim custody of Umar. 
 

Firaz and Damia often clash over Umar's custody, as Firaz is determined to fulfill his late twin brother's last wish. Meanwhile, a man named Qamarul shows interest in Damia, causing Firaz to worry that Damia will claim custody of Umar if she marries Qamarul. Damia, on the other hand, doubts Firaz's suitability as a guardian due to his friendship with Kay, a gentle man who is often misunderstood. 
 

Despite their frequent arguments, Firaz and Damia are caught in compromising situations several times, forcing Daud to marry them off. Umar hopes that Firaz and Damia's marriage will bring happiness, but various conflicts arise, including Qamarul's attempts to win Damia over. Umar and Kay work together to unite Firaz and Damia as a married couple. The situation becomes more complicated with the arrival of Firaz's parents, who bring old family issues. The story explores whether Firaz's family can accept Umar as the heir of his late father, who was disowned by the family before his death.
