He passed away 6 months before the birth of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) .The prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) mother’s name was Hadrat Aamina (PBUH) . When his mother passed away, he was left under the care of his grand father, Abd al-Muttalib, When his grandfather passed away, he was left the under of his uncle, Abu Talib. Respectable Arab families usually gave their newborns to
nannies to be raised into strong healthy children. At the age
of two, they were returned to their parents but Hadrat Aamina (PBUH) allowed the nanny to keep Muhammad (PBUH) for more time. Muhammad’s (PBUH) nanny was Hadrat Halimah Sa’adiyah. Revelation with Allah
At the age of 40, the prophet Muhammad got
tired of the statue gods of Mecca and retreated to
the cave Hira in the Mountain Jabal al-Nour.
Here Allah sent an Angel Jabriel to Muhammad
(PBUH) . It was then that he was informed of Allah and Islam.
On that day, Allah made Muhammad (PBUH) a
prophet AND a messenger for all Human Kind
Islam in Mecca After his revelation with Allah, Muhammad (PBUH)
came back to Mecca to preach the message of Islam.
The people of Mecca believed so much in their statue gods that refused to believe in Allah.
Only a few, who were friends of the prophet from
childhood believed him. To protect their statue gods, the people of Mecca planned on killing Muhammad (PBUH) . When the prophet learned of this plan he collected his followers and they migrated to Medina. This is called The Hijjrah.
The Muslim calender is based on the date of Hijjrah
Migration to Medina
After finding that Islam was in danger in Mecca,
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did Hijjrah. When his
followers and the prophet (PBUH) got to Medina they tried to preach Islam there. Surprisingly, it worked.
All the people in Medina started believing in Allah.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and Allah had an
army/society of Muslim at their command.
People of Madina started practicing Islam and set
an example for all other countries.
Conflicts with Mecca
After confirming Muhammad’s whereabouts,
Mecca declared war on Medina. But with faith in Allah, Allah was always on the side
of the Muslims to help them to win. No matter how
big in numbers or well equipped with weapons, there were always defeated by Muslims. Some of famous and historical wars are : 1. Battle of Badr 2. Battle of Uhud 3. Battle of Khandaq Expansion of Islam
The most AMAZING expansion in the history
of mankind is the expansion of Islam. Due to Prophets all around the globe it spread rapidly but then lay forgotten but I think that The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did the biggest role in this expansion. He spread a whole religion of Islam around the world, in just 23 years. None could have done it in the time our prophet had. MUHAMMAD ( PBUH ) >> 99 NAMES Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi Sadly at the age of 63, in the year 10 A.H. / 633A.D., Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) passed away. A mosque was built in honour of the Prophet
and called ‘Al-Masjid Al-Nabawi’.
Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) tomb lies there. THE END
