Get to know the man i love :)
MUHAMMAD, peace be upon him, was born On Monday, the twelfth day of the month of Rabi al-Awwal in the year 570 A.D in the city of Makkah (Mecca).
Muhammad's full name was " Abu Al-Qasim, Muhammad Ibn Abdallah Ibn Abd Al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim. " which means ( The father of Al -Qasim, Muhammad son of Abdullah son of Abd Al-Muttalib son of Hashim )
He was the last prophet of the religion of Islam.
His name, Muhammad means " the praised one " . When 'Abd al-Muttalib told the leaders of Quraysh what he had named his grandson, many of them asked, 'Why did you not choose the sort of name that is used by our people?' At once he replied, 'I want him to be praised by Allah in the heavens and praised by men on earth.
Muhammad's father, Abdallah, died several weeks before his birth and his mother, Aminah, died when he was six years old.
In keeping with Meccan tradition Aminah entrusted her son at an early age to a wet nurse named Halima from the tribe of Bani Sa'd .
Muhammad (pbuh) returned sadly to Mecca with his mother's maid He was now six years old and had lost both his father and mother .After six year old Muhammad returned to Mecca the orphaned boy was placed in the protection of his paternal grandfather, Abdul Al-Muttalib. In this man's care, Muhammad learned the rudiments of statecraft. Many times 'Abd al-Muttalib was heard to say: 'This boy will be very important one day.'
Mecca was Arabia's most important pilgrimage center and Abdul Al-Muttalib its most respected leader.
Two years later 'Abd al-Muttalib became ill and Muhammad (pbuh) stayed by him constantly.
Upon his grandfather's death in 578, Muhammad, aged about eight, passed into the care of a paternal uncle, Abu Talib.
Abu Talib had many children of his own, Muhammad grew up in Abu Talib's home and remained under his protection for many years. Muhammad (pbuh) immediately became part of his family and the favorite child.
Chroniclers have underscored Muhammad's disrupted childhood. So does the Qur'an in (93:6-8)
"Did God not find you an orphan and give you shelter and care? And He found you wandering, and gave you guidance. And he found you in need, and made you independent" Quran (93:6-8).
Here is the full chapter :

Young boy, Muhammad worked as a shepherd to help pay his keep (his uncle was of modest means).
In his teens he sometimes traveled with Abu Talib, who was a merchant, accompanying caravans to trade centers. On at least one occasion, he is said to have traveled as far north as Syria.
Older merchants recognized Muhammad's character and nicknamed him Al–Amin, " the one you can trust " . There are many stories told about Mohammad's youth. Some tell of how he used to take the family's sheep to graze and was always kind to them. While they grazed he would sit thinking about the mysteries of nature.
Unlike those around him, Muhammad never worshipped the idols and never swore by them. He also wondered why people were always struggling for power and money, and this saddened him and made him feel lonely . But he kept his feelings to himself. He was a quiet, thoughtful boy, and rarely played with other boys of his age. On one occasion, however, Muhammad (pbuh) went with some of the boys to a wedding in Mecca.When he reached the house he heard the sounds of music and dancing but just as he was about to enter he suddenly felt tired and, sitting down, fell asleep. He didn't wake up until late the next morning and thus missed the celebrations. In this way Allah prevented him from doing anything foolish for He was keeping Muhammad (pbuh) for something much more important.
By God's wisdom, Prophet Muhammad pbuh in order to console the hearts of all orphans as he, the seal of the prophethood was an orphan.
Prophet Muhammad, pbuh, said: “He who looks after a widow and a needy person is like a fighter for the Cause of Allah.”
He also said: "Like someone who stands up the night in prayer and worship and someone who is always fasting." (Bukhari)
Also,
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet Muhammad, ( may God bless him and grant him peace ), said, "The best house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are well treated. The worst house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are ill treated. I and the guardian of the orphan will be in the Garden like that," indicating his two fingers.
May Peace be upon you my Beloved :)

MUHAMMAD, peace be upon him, was born On Monday, the twelfth day of the month of Rabi al-Awwal in the year 570 A.D in the city of Makkah (Mecca).
Muhammad's full name was " Abu Al-Qasim, Muhammad Ibn Abdallah Ibn Abd Al-Muttalib Ibn Hashim. " which means ( The father of Al -Qasim, Muhammad son of Abdullah son of Abd Al-Muttalib son of Hashim )
He was the last prophet of the religion of Islam.
His name, Muhammad means " the praised one " . When 'Abd al-Muttalib told the leaders of Quraysh what he had named his grandson, many of them asked, 'Why did you not choose the sort of name that is used by our people?' At once he replied, 'I want him to be praised by Allah in the heavens and praised by men on earth.
Muhammad's father, Abdallah, died several weeks before his birth and his mother, Aminah, died when he was six years old.
In keeping with Meccan tradition Aminah entrusted her son at an early age to a wet nurse named Halima from the tribe of Bani Sa'd .
Children in their early years were sent to the desert where it was more healthy & they would learn the Pure Arabic from the nomads .
Women from the desert used to come to Mecca to collect the new babies and they would then keep them until they developed into strong children, for which they were well paid by the parents.
Among the women who traveled to Mecca to fetch a new baby at the time Aminah's son was born, was a Bedouin woman called Halimah. With her was her husband and baby son. They had always been very poor but this year things were harder than ever because there had been famine. The donkey that earned Halimah on the journey was so weak from hunger that he often stumbled. Halimah's own baby son cried all the time because his mother could not feed him properly. Even their she-camel did not give them one drop of milk. Halimah did not know what to do.
She thought to herself, 'How can I possibly feed another baby when I haven't got enough milk even for my own son?'
At last they reached Mecca. All the other women of the tribe to which Halimah belonged, the Bani Sa'd, found a child to take back with them, but not Halimah. The only baby left was Muhammad (pbuh). Usually the father paid the wet-nurse but Mohammed's father was dead. So no one wanted to take him, even though he was from one of the noblest families of Quraysh. Halimah did not want to take him either, but she did not want to be the only woman to go back to her tribe without a baby to bring up. She asked her husband whether she should take Muhammad (pbuh) or not. He advised her to do so, adding, 'Perhaps Allah will bless us because of him.' They started on the return journey and as soon as Halimah began to feed Muhammad (pbuh) her milk suddenly increased and she had enough for him as well as her baby son. When they were back home, everything began to change.
The land became green, and the date palms , one of their main sources of food, gave lots of fruit. Even the sheep and their old she-camel began to give plenty of milk.
Halimah and her husband knew that this good fortune had come because they had the new baby, Muhammad (pbuh), whom they had come to love as if he were their own son.
When Muhammad (pbuh) was two years old, Halimah took him back to his mother. She pleaded with Aminah, however, to let her keep him for a little longer, and to her great joy the mother agreed. During his time with Halimah's family in the desert, Muhammad (pbuh) played with her children and together they would take the sheep out to graze. At other times, however, Halimah would often find him sitting alone.
When Halimah finally took Muhammad (pbuh) back to Aminah, he was a healthy, strong boy. Later he would look back with joy on the time he had spent with Halimah, and he always thought of himself as one of the Bani Sa'd.
When Muhammad was six his mother Aminah decided to take him to visit his uncles in Yathrib. Yathrib was an oasis town a few hundred miles north of Mecca. She told her maid, Barakah, to prepare everything they would need for the long journey, and then they joined one of the caravans going there. They stayed in Yathrib a month and Muhammad (pbuh) enjoyed the visit with his cousins. The climate there was very pleasant and he learned to swim and to fly a kite.Try to imagine how six year old Muhammad felt while standing by his father’s grave! & after a month he would see his mother's too. On their way back to Mecca, however, Aminah became ill and died She was buried in the village at al-Abwa not far from Yathrib. Prophet Muhammad's mother died in the desert, there was no one to bury her .So her maid had to dig her grave & bury her in front of her 6 year old son, Muhammad . Visualize how the Prophet saw those scenes while he was just 6 years old Muhammad (pbuh) saw his mother being buried!, he was so much attached to his mother.
