Certain youth had the fortunate opportunity of being raised in the city of Al-Madinah during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). They witnessed Islam grow from its first days and were instilled with strong faith at very young ages. One of these auspicious personalities was Abdullah bin `Umar (R) the son of `Umar bin Al-Khattab (R.A). His close accompanying of the Prophet and memorization of the Prophet`s sayings and actions eventually led to his attainment of great scholarship, even amongst the Prophet`s Companions.
