This Sirah lesson tells the story of the birth of our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ the Best Man, the last Prophet sent by Allah to guide all of mankind.
Years had passed since Prophet ʿIsa عليه السلام. The people of Makkah had drifted far from the teachings of Prophet Ibrahim عليه السلام. Allah, the Most Kind, did not leave them without guidance. He sent Muhammad ﷺ. One Monday morning, baby Muhammad ﷺ was born to his mother Aminah, who held him close with love. His father, ʿAbdullah, had passed away before he arrived.
Following the custom of Makkah, baby Muhammad ﷺ was sent to the desert to grow up strong and healthy. Allah chose a gentle woman, Halimah as-Saʿdiyyah, and her family to care for him. From the day she took him home, blessings followed her goats gave more milk than before and her home felt different.
When Muhammad ﷺ was six, he travelled with his mother Aminah to visit family in Madinah. On the way back, Aminah became ill and passed away. Her kind maid, Barakah, brought him safely home to Makkah. He then lived with his grandfather, ʿAbdul-Muttalib, who loved him deeply. When Muhammad ﷺ was eight, his grandfather too passed away. His uncle, Abu Talib, and his wife took him in and raised him with great love.
He lost so much, so young. And yet Allah took care of him at every moment.
