Hazrat Muhammad(Sallahu Alaihi Wasallam)- biography... ----------The people of ancient Arabia were misguided and misled. They disobeyed Allah and worshipped idols. Then Allah Taala favoured mankind by sending them the best creation of Allah; the Master of humankind and jinns; the greatest personality on earth; the beloved of Allah, Prophet Muhammad Mustafa Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam. Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) was born in the month of Rabi Awwal in the year 571 C.E. He was a descendant of Prophet Ismail Alayhissalam. His father, Abdullah, died several weeks before his birth. His mother, Amina died during the return journey from Madinah, at a place called Abwa. He was raised by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, until the age of eight. After his grandfathers death, his uncle, Abu Talib, took care of him. Abu Talib treated Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) very kindly. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) would sleep in his uncles bed and eat with him. Under the guidance of Abu Talib, Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) began to earn his living as a businessman and a trader. At the age of twelve, he accompanied Abu Talib with a caravan as far as Syria. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) was popularly known as al-Ameen (the trustworthy) and al-Sadiq (the truthful) for his good deeds. His name, Muhammad means the praised one. After hearing about Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam)s impressive character, Sayyidatna Khadijah (Rady Allahu Anha), a rich business woman, offered Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) money to take some goods for trade to Syria. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) set out for Syria along with Maisarah, a slave of Sayyidatina Khadijah (Rady Allahu Anha). After the trip, Maisarah told Sayyidatina Khadijah (Rady Allahu Anha) all about the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam). Sayyidatina Khadijah (Rady Allahu Anha) was fascinated by Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam). Therefore, she married him (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam). Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and Sayyidatina Khadijah (Rady Allahu Anha) were blessed with two sons and four daughters. Their first son, Qasim died at the age of two while their second son, Abdullah, died during his infancy. Prophet Muhammads (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) four daughters were Zainab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum and Fatima (Rady Allahu Anhunna). Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) usually went to a cave in Mount Hira for meditation. Sometimes, he would remain in the cave for a month. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) was forty years old when Jibril (peace be upon him) appeared before him and revealed the first five verses of Surah Al-Alaq of the Quran. After the revelation, Sayyidatina Khadija (Rady Allahu Anha) became the first woman to accept Islam. Jibreel (peace be upon him) visited Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) and revealed verses of the Quran over a period of twenty-three years. Sometimes, Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) would receive some parts of a chapter or a whole chapter. They were memorized as soon as they were revealed. These verses were collected in a book, known as the Quran. The first few people to accept Islam were his cousin Hadrat Ali, his servant Hadrat Zayd ibn Harithah, his friend Hadrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Rady Allahu Anhum) and his daughters. They accepted Islam by testifying that There is no deity except Allah. Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) is Allahs Messenger. In the first three years of Prophet Muhammads (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) mission, forty people accepted Islam. He then began to preach Islam in public. The leaders of the Quraish did not accept the new religion. Some of them tried to bribe Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) with money and power, including an offer to make him a king. But our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) refused to abandon Allahs message
