Sa'd bin Abdullah bin Ibrahim Al-Junaydil was born in 1915 in
Shaqra,
Emirate of Nejd and Hasa. He began his studies at the old schools and
kuttabs under
ulema, studied the Qur'an,
tafsirs and
hadith and obtained an elementary certificate in his hometown. He worked in agriculture and trade with his father. His father was also a poet and had a library, and Al-Junaydil benefited greatly
from his teachings. He started regular education late, as he was right-hand of his father in business. Al-Junaydil continued his education in
Dawadmi, southwest of his hometown, where his father had moved. In Dawadmi, he enrolled in the adult education system at the age of thirty, and obtained the intermediate certificate. One day he met his close friend and educator in
Riyadh, when he went there for commercial affairs. Abu Moati was at the time Director General of Education in
Najd, so he made Al-Junaydil an offer to become teacher in Dawadmi, which Al-Junaydil accepted. Although he was an assistant in the management of the school, he also taught there at the intermediate level. He also took over the task of teaching religious subjects, for lack of another teacher, and he also taught Arabic grammar for the sixth grade of primary school. At the time of the exams he sat with his students to take the exam with them, to complete the educational certificate, as he wanted it to fulfill the governmental requirements for teachers. Later, Al-Junaydil took over the management and supervision of the secondary school, in addition to teaching Hadith for the second grade of secondary school and history for the third grade of secondary school, until 1970. He passed several training courses, including the school principal's course, but he refused to be nominated for other courses in Egypt and at the
American University in Beirut, due to his family circumstances and his association with his merchent father. For the same reason, he rejected two nominations for the position of director of education in Al Atawilah in
Al-Bahah Province, and director of education in
Al Qunfudhah city in the Mecca Region. Al-Junaydil joined the College of Arts at
King Saud University in Riyadh, from which he obtained a Bachelor's degree in Arts from the Department of History in 1967. In 1972 he obtained a higher diploma in
general education from the Faculty of Education of the same university. He started writing poetry on special occasions at an early age, and now began writing essays in newspapers. His first article was titled "To the Tribune of Criticism" in the
Sawt Al-Hijaz newspaper. He published his first poem in
Al-Yamamah magazine in the same year, and he also published some of his writings in the ''Al-Ishaa'a
magazine before it was closed. After graduating, he published a number of geographical and historical researches in the Al-Arab
magazine, and he also published a number of researches about Islamic education in the Al-Da'wah'' newspaper in Riyadh. == Death ==
