Memoirs from the life of Imam Ahmad
Filed under NewsMar 19In an interesting book, Wada Ar-Rasul li Ummatihi, Sheikh Al-Qahtani recalls the final words that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said on his deathbed.
After living a life of ibadah, dawah, and jihad, the Prophet (peace be upon him) gathered the people around him on his deathbed and said, “I have left two things and you shall not go astray after them so long as you stick to them: the Book of Allah and my Sunnah.”
After the Prophet (peace be upon him) passed away, the Ummah was tested with people who tried to corrupt, discredit, or amputate the Sunnah from Islam. So, Allah – from His Mercy to this Ummah – raised up warriors that would stand in the face of the most vicious enemies of the Sunnah. From those people that Allah raised was a young boy named Ahmad.

JEDDAH – Over 10,000 young Saudi men and women have applied for job training at the Saudi Labor Market Exhibition in Jeddah since its start on Saturday.
The exhibition held workshops to educate job seekers on work ethics and available future careers with companies based in the Kingdom, said organizers.
“Participating companies are sincere in their efforts to provide job security for young Saudis,” said Nada Al-Olaqi, director of human resourses at a national company. But this depends on the qualifications of job seekers, she said. “Some of them just dont have the necessary qualifications to get our jobs,” she added. However, she encouraged the youth to at least join up for crash-course training sessions so that they can at least have an entry level qualification.
