BIRTH: The birth of prophet pbuh was an event of the greatest magnitude in human history. Muhammad (pbuh) was born in Mecca (Makah), Arabia, on Monday, 12 Rabi' Al-Awal (2 August A.D. 570). His mother, Aminah, was the daughter of Wahb Ibn Abdu Manaf of the Zahra family. His father, 'Abdullah, was the son of Abdul Muttalib. His genealogy has been traced to the noble house of Ishmael, the son of Prophet Abraham in about the fortieth descend. Muhammad's father died before his birth. It was customary in those days that that the children of rich and noble houses were sent out to the country side to be nursed in a free atmosphere, in pursuance of this custom some women belonging to the tribe of Banu-Hawazin cane to Makah four days

after the birth of the holy prophet. Halima al-Sadiya was one of them. By chance she couldnt procure any child. When the mother of the prophet asked him to take her baby, she hesitated thinking that it would not benefit her to take care of an orphan but however she had no choice and she agreed to take Muhammad. She kept him about for 6 years. During that span they were blessed with so many things and they used to think that if child was any miracle. Journey to Madina: When the prophet was six years old. Her mother took him to his maternal relations; they belonged to the tribe Banu Najjar, Aminah stayed with them. On a journey back she died at a place known as alAbwa .She was buried there and Umm Aimen(the prophets nurse at home) brought the holy child back to Madina. Guardianship of Abd Al-Muttalib and Abu Talib: After the death of His mother, Abd Al-Muttalib took Holy Prophet under his own guardianship. , Abd AlMuttalib died at the age of 82 and was buried at a place known as al-Hajun.

The holy prophet was eight then he accompanied the dead body to the grave and was all along shedding tears. Before his death, Abd Al-Muttalib had entrusted his son Abu Talib with the guardianship of the orphan. He loved his nephew so dearly that forsake he would his own sons. He shared his bed with him and whenever he would go out, the nephew was sure to accompany him. When the Messenger of Allah [pbuh] was twelve years old, he went with his uncle Abu Talib on a business journey to Syria. When they reached Busra they met a monk called Bahira (his real name was Georges), who showed great kindness, and entertained them lavishly. He had never been in the habit of receiving or entertaining them before. He readily enough recognized the Prophet [pbuh] and said while taking his hand: "This is the master of all humans. Allah will send him with a Message which will be a mercy to all beings." Abu Talib asked: "How do you know that? He replied: "When you appeared from the direction of Aqabah, all stones and trees prostrated

themselves, which they never do except for a Prophet.1 CONSTRUCTION OF KABA: When the Messenger of Allah [pbuh] was thirty five, Quraish started rebuilding Al- Kabah. That was because it was a low building of white stones no more than 6.30 meters high, from the days of Ishmael. It was also roofless and that gave the thieves easy access to its treasures inside. It was also exposed to the wearing factors of nature because it was built a long time ago that weakened and cracked its walls, tribes jointly started work on the reconstruction of Kabah, then time came to put out the sacred Black Stone in its proper place. Then strife broke out among the chiefs, and lasted for four or five days, each contesting for the honor of placing the stone in its position. Luckily, the oldest among the chiefs Abu Omaiyah bin Mugheerah AlMakhzumi made a proposal which was accepted by

all. He said: "Let him, who enters the Sanctuary first of all, decide on the point." It was then Allah s Will that the Messenger of Allah [pbuh] should be the first to enter the Mosque. On seeing him, all the people on the scene, cried with one voice: "AlAmeen (the trustworthy) has come. We are content to abide by his decision." Calm and self- possessed, Muhammad [pbuh] received the commission and at once resolved upon an expedient which was to conciliate them all. He asked for a mantle which he spread on the ground and placed the stone in its centre. He then asked the representatives of the different clans among them, to lift the stone all together. When it had reached the proper place, Muhammad [pbuh] laid it in the proper position with his own hands. This is how a very tense situation was eased and a grave danger averted by the wisdom of the Prophet [pbuh]. When the building of Al- Kabah had finished, it assumed square form fifteen meters high. The side with the Black Stone and the one opposite were ten meters long each.

Prophet Takes Trade as profession: The Arabs and Quraish in particular had been carrying trade long before the advent of Islam. Abu Talib, the uncle of Holy Prophet also carried on trade when prophet looked for means to living he could go for no better option than trade. People did not use to entrust their money to everyone that time, but Prophet (Pbuh) had a reputation for fair & honest dealings. He was true to his words and this moral excellence made him won the title for TRUSTED TRADER OF MAKKAH.The prophet made several journeys to Syria, Busra and Yemen. WEDDING WITH KHADIJA (R.A): Khadija was a respectable lady, for her pure and noble nature she was known as tahira or the chaste. Prophets excellence in trade and his true and fair dealings commended her, and she asked him to proceed with her goods to Syria. Nearly three months after his return, she asked Him her hand.

A day was fixed and Abu Talib along with Hamza R.A accompanied the Prophet to Khadijas house, Abu Talib read the khutba (of their Nikah). Miscellaneous Facts: Prophet (p.b.u.h) took so many journeys to far off places for trade purposes. To Syria, Busra, Jarash in Yemen and some other places too. Prophet (Pbuh) abstained from idolatry, he never worshipped any idols, etc

PROPHETHOOD: MUHAMMAD S.A.W.W came to this world when people were all barbarians and were in darkness. They had no sense of living and had no particular religion to follow. Prophet (pbuh) never worshipped any other thing in his entire life, he used to keep busy in worldly affairs ( before prophet hood) i.e. he had to look into his business affairs, he had to trade journeys, etc.But Allah has planned much more higher than this.

There was a cave named HIRA, prophet used to go there and used to meditate. He used to take his food along with him and stayed for weeks and then come back. One day while meditating, an Angel (Hazrat Jibrael A.S) came to him and said:
