THE CHILDHOOD OF PROPHET

MUHAMMAD(S)


2/13

People of Quraysh were keen that

their newborn babies live with theBedouins in the desert for a healthyatmosphere. They used to have an

agreement with the Buni Sa3d tribethat raised their children for two

years in exchange for money


3/13

Prophet Mohammed was an orphan so

the Buni Sa3d nurses didnt want to

breastfeed him because they feared ofnot getting paid however one nurse

named Halimah didnt get a child to

care for so she took him Hilimah tookcare of the Prophet for 2 years and saw

him grow at a fast rate, she said Mytribe lived in a barren desert, and our

herds used to graze in the desert but

return with stomachs empty of milk.


4/13

When Mohammed PBUH arrived,

my herd went out to graze and was

the only one among all the herds tocome back full of milk from which

Mohammed PBUH and my sonwere able to drink. When thishappened the other herd keepers

used to follow my herd to get theirshare of the blessings. Mohammed

PBUH brought us prosperity."


5/13

When the Prophet was 6 years old his

mother (Aminah bint Wahab) decided

to take him to Al Madinah to visit hisfathers grave and on their way back to

Mekkah she suddenly became sick and

died. The prophet saw his mother die infront of his eyes and observed his maid

Um Ayman burying her in the ground.This journey was engraved in theProphets memory because he lost the

most precious person in his life.


6/13

Prophet Mohammed went to live with

his grandfather Abdul Mutalib who wasabout 90 years old and one of the

leaders of Quraysh. The Prophet lovedhis grandfather dearly because his

mother Aminah bint Wahab believed he

had to have a strong bond with hisfathers family


7/13

Abdul Mutablib and the leaders of Quraysh

used to meet everyday in the Ka3ba and

discuss politics, news and economy ofMakkah. The Prophet used to attend this

meeting with his grandfather instead of

playing with the kids of Mekkah. AbdulMutalib used to lay down his gown on the

ground and let Prophet Mohammed sit on it.

He always said This son of mine will be agreat man!. Abdul Mutalib had a feeling

Prophet Mohammed was going to be a

great leader.

When the Prophet was 8 years old his

grandfather Abudl Mutalib died and he was

orphaned for the third time. Abdul Mutalibtold his son Abu Taleb the Prophets uncle

to take care of him and his uncle treated

him as his own son. Abu Taleb had 10children so the Prophet was brought up

illiterate.

The Prophet learned many skills in his

childhood from all the jobs he had and

different events that took place


9/13

Prophet Mohammed worked as a shepherd at theage of 8 because he wanted to help his uncle AbuTaleb since he wasnt rich and had a big family.

He then decided to become a trader at the age of15 and join his uncle on their trade trips to AlSham (Syria). Becoming a trader helped the

Prophet learn how to communicate and deal withall types of people. He also learned how to fightat the age of 15 when he fought with Quraysh in

the Battle of Fojar. In this experience he learnedthe art of being a strong fighter and theimportance of negotiating for peace sinceQuraysh decided sign a peace treaty with theother tribe

The Prophet lived in 4 houses-Mothers House (Aminah bint Wahab)-Abu Sa3ds in the desert (Halimah Al Sa3deya)-Grandfathers House (Abdul Mutalib)-Uncles House (Abu Talib)

Ya'qub (AS) Jacob who went blind from sadness

for his son, Yusuf (AS) Joseph who lost hisfather and was thrown in a well, Musa (AS)Moses who had to leave his country, Isa (AS)
