was born in the noble family of the Banu Hashim of the Quraish tribe. After
he was born he was taken by a women Bibi Halima (R.A.) to her village where
he lived for four years in a clean environment. While he stayed with Hazrat
Bibi Halima (R.A.), she was never short of anything and her home was always
blessed. He was returned to his mother when he was four years old. His
mother took him for a visit to her families in Madinah when he was six
years old. She passed away when she was returning to Makkah, at a place
called Abwa and Muhammed
was brought back by a slave girl Umm-e-Aiyman.
After the demise of his mother, his grand-father Abdul Muttalib looked after him, but it was not long before his grandfather passed away too. Muhammed
was then eight years old. Then his uncle Abu Talib looked after him. At
a young age Rasulullah
used to go into the desert to watch the flocks of his uncle. As a young
boy he was truthful, well mannered and honest. He never wasted his time
playing games. He always helped other people.
