Muadh ibn Jabal is considered in Islam a sahaba (a person who knew the Islamic prophet Muhammad during his lifetime, believed in him and died upon the believe in Muhammad).

Muadh was a young boy when Muhammad started preaching the message of Islam. He was a native of Medina and was there during most of Muhammad's lifetime. He was noted for his intelligence, quick wit, potency in speech, and for his prominent standing between people.^{[clarification needed]} He was also described as a very attractive looking individual with dark eyes and eyelashes. His teeth were extremely white and he had an afro . Books referring to his physical appearance say that the onlooker would be stunned by his good looks.

He became a Muslim at the hands of Musab bin Umair, who was sent to Medina as a missionary before the Hijra. He traveled to Mecca to participate in Bayatul Aqabah with 71 other people. In the Bayaa, he embraced Muhammad and pledged to uphold the religion of Islam. When he came back from Mecca, he formed a small posse of youth from his community and they vowed to destroy the idols that were kept in Medina. It was because of him and his posse that one of the most respectable people of Medina converted to Islam. That person was Amr ibn al-Jamuh, and he was one of the leaders of the tribe of Banu Salamah.

"The Greatest Generation" is a term coined by journalist Tom Brokaw to describe the generation who grew up in the United States during the deprivation of the Great Depression, and then went on to fight in World War II, as well as those whose productivity within the war's home front made a decisive material contribution to the war effort. The generation is sometimes referred to as the G.I. Generation (a term coined by authors William Strauss and Neil Howe who are known for their generational theory). It follows the Lost Generation who fought in World War I and precedes the Silent Generation who did not come of age until near the end of the war. Baby boomers are mostly the children of the Greatest Generation, although some are also silent generation. Their grandchildren are mostly of Generation X and Generation Y. The youngest members of the Greatest Generation may have Generation Z grandchildren.

The Greatest Generation is generally agreed to have begun in 1901, as those people would have turned 18 after World War I ended. However, people born from 1901-1909 came of age during the 1920s and identified more with the culture of that decade than the 1930s and 1940s. The core of the Greatest Generation consists of those born in 1914-1924, with 1925-1927 forming a bridge to the Silent Generation.
