WE ARE GOING ON A JOURNEY WITH THE GREATEST MAN BIOGRAPHY, IT’S FULLING OF ADVENTURE AND MIRACLES
IT’S A BIOGRAPHY ABOUT THE GREATEST LEADER, FATHER, HUSBAND AND FRIEND.
IT’S ABOUT Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)
HIS Birth
He is known as Abul-Qasim (father of Al-Qasim) Muhammad, the son of Abdullah, the son of Abdul-Mutalib. His lineage traces back to the Prophet Ishmael, the son of the Prophet Abraham, may God praise them all. His mother is Aminah, the daughter of Wahb.
Muhammad was born She’eb Banu Hashim in Makkah. fifty to fifty-five days after the Abraha’s failed attack on the Ka’bah. In Arabic, the word for an elephant is “Feel,” and hence the year came to be known as ‘Amm Al-Feel, (the year of the elephant).
Abdullah was married to Amina, the daughter of Wahb.
Wahb was a chieftain of Banu Zahra. Shortly after the marriage, Amina became pregnant, but before she could give birth to their child, Abdullah was sent by his father to Yathrib or Syria on business. Tragically, he passed away in Yathrib on the return journey .
While Amina was pregnant, she had a dream that a light was emitted from her lower body that illuminated the places of Syria. Abdul Muttalib received the news of his grandson’s birth with joy. He took the new-born to the Ka’bah and invoked Allah’s blessings and gave thanks.
Believing his grandson would grow up to be highly praised.
Abdul Muttalib named him Muhammad, which means “he who is praised.” In keeping with Arab tradition, he then shaved the baby’s head and circumcised him on the seventh day. Afterwards, he invited his fellow-Makkans to a feast.
Muhammad was first nursed by his mother, and then by Umm Ayman, his father’s slave. An Abyssinian whose name was Barakah, she embraced Islam and migrated to Madinah, where she died six months after the Prophet’s death.
Foster Brothers
Thuwaybah, the slave of Muhammad’s uncle Abu Lahab, also nursed the infant. At that time, Thuwaybah was also nursing her own child, Masrooh, as well as Hamzah bin Abdul Muttalib and Abu Salamah bin Abdul Asad Makhzoomi. Hence, these three men became foster brothers because they were nursed at the same breast.
In the care of Haleemah Sa’diya
It was customary among the citizens of Makkah to put their new-borns in the care of Bedouin women who would raise them for a couple of years in the desert. The Makkans believed that the unspoiled, rugged desert environment would make their children strong and hardy.
Furthermore, an upbringing among the Bedouin ensured that the children would learn the purest form of Arabic language spoken throughout Arabia. Abdul Muttalib was looking for one such Bedouin woman who would serve as a wet nurse and take his grandson to the desert. Some women from the Banu Sa’d bin Bakr bin Hawazen came to Makkah to offer their services to local families. Abdul Muttalib asked each of them to take his grandson Muhammad , but all of them declined the offer when they were told the child’s father was dead. They felt the family of a fatherless child would not be able to reward them handsomely.
Haleemah bint Abu Dhuwayb had also come to Makkah that day.
While all the other Bedouin women had found children to nurse, she was not so fortunate. She saw Abdul Muttalib with an infant in his arms and took pity on the child who had been rejected by the other women. She and her husband took the infant Muhammad back to the desert. Haleemah was happy she was not returning empty-handed. Haleemah and her husband, Harith bin Abdul Uzzah, both belonged to the tribe of Sa’d bin Bakr bin Hawazen. Their children became the Prophet’s foster brothers and sisters. Their names were Abdullah, Anisa, and Judhama, who was better known as Shayma. Judhama also nursed the Prophet .
But Amazing things happened to Halima and her husband after they took Muhammad (ﷺ) home.
