The Last of the Prophets of Allah

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.)
Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) was born on the
seventeenth of Rabi ul- Awwal in the town of Meccah to
parents named Abdullah and Aminah. He had not yet been
born when his father `AbduIlah passed away. His mother
remained alive until Muhammad was six and then she too
passed away.
After the demise of Aminah he was looked after by his
grandfather. Abdul-Muttalib.
After the demise of Aminab he was looked after by his
grandfather Abdul-Muttalib.
Abdul-Muttalib loved Muhammad very much and was
very affectionate towards him. He had heard from the Jewish
and Christian scholars that a great Prophet would be raised in
Meccah. and in Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) he saw those signs.
`Abdul-Muttalib was very respected among the Arabs.
He would sit beside the Ka'bah and the people would sit
around him. Muhammad was the only person who used to sit
next to him. Sometimes. when they wanted to stop Muhammad
from approaching his grandfather. Abd ul Muttalib would tell them:
'Let my child come. I swear by Allah, there are great
signs evident on his face. I can see the day when he will be
your great leader and deliver you from degradation, injustice
and oppression."
Abdul-Muttalib would place Muhammad beside himself
and pat him on the back. And because he knew about
Muhammad's future. he would always be with him, eating
with him. attending to him. and was only separated from him
when necessary
From his childhood Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) was very alert
and intelligent. His uncle Abu Talib said of him.
Whenever Muhammad would start to eat he would say
Bismillah'. and after finishing his meal he would thank
Allah. saying al-hamdu lillah'
"I never heard Muhammad tell a lie. nor did I ever see
him do anything wrong. Never did he laugh out loud and his
laughter was a smile. He was kind to the other children and
never called anyone by bad names."
