Hi to all here
I want to write here the story of prophet mohammad from his birth to his death
so you can have background about his personality ,, may be many of you don't interested about that but still there are few whom don't have any information about his life and personality .and many of those who have an idea about this ,,was get there information from bias sites.
The biography of the Prophet Muhammad r was chosen by Allah I to receive the divine revelation. We also learn t r is a very noble and exalted subject by which Muslims learn about the rise of Islam, and about the hardships the Prophet r and his Companions faced, and how they eventually succeeded with Allah’s I help. So, it is necessary to study the Prophet’s r life and follow it in all matters. I hope this study will help us to get a better understanding of the religion of Islam.
Allah I says in the Qur'aan:
“Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad r), you have a good example to follow, for him who hopes for (the meeting with) Allah and the last day, and remembers Allah much” [Q:33:21]
The Prophet Muhammad’s e Ancestors
Lineage was an important consideration in Arab society, the Prophets’e family tree is well documented. He was born into a family that traced its ancestry back to the Prophet Ibraaheem u (Abraham) through Ismaa’eel u (Ishmael). The Prophet’s lineage is as follows: Muhammad Ibn (the son of) Abdullah Ibn Abdul Muttalib Ibn Haashim. The Prophet’s mother was Aminah, daughter of Wahb Ibn Abd Munaf.
The Prophet’s r tribe
The Prophet r belonged to the tribe known as Quraysh, the most respected tribe in Arabia. The Quraysh enjoyed a position of honour in the peninsula.
Lineage
The Prophet’s e lineage is called Haashimi after his great grandfather, Haashim. The Quraysh were merchants by profession, and Haashim arranged trade journeys for them to Yemen each winter and to Syria each summer.In Surah Quraysh. Allah I reminds the Quraysh of their debt to Him for these important trade expeditions.
Haashim once passed by Yathrib (later known as Madinah) en route to Syria, and there he married Salmah bint Amr, a lady from the tribe Banu Adiy Ibn Najjaar. He halted there for a few days and then left for Syria. He passed away in Gaza, a famous city in Palestine. At the time of his departure, Salma was pregnant. She gave birth to a son whose hair had white streaks. She therefore named him Shayba, which means ‘one with grey hair’. None of Haashim`s relatives in Makkah knew about the birth of Shayba. Eight years later, however, Muttalib found out about his dead brother`s son and decided to bring Shayba to Makkah. When he entered Makkah with Shayba, the people thought the young boy was Muttalib`s slave and referred to Shayba as Abdul Muttalib, which means Muttalib’s slave. Thus, Shayba became known as Abdul Muttalib.
Abdul Muttalib grew up to be a very handsome man and became a leading figure of the Quraysh tribe. He was the chieftain of the Quraysh and oversaw the tribe’s trade caravans. Famous for this generosity, he was called ‘the Generous.’ He gave his leftovers to the needy, and even to animals and birds. For this reason, he was described as the ‘Feeder of men on Earth and of beasts and birds on the mountain-tops.’
Abdul Muttalib also had the honour of rediscovering the sacred well of Zamzam. This well had gushed forth when the infant Ismaa’eel u kicked at the dry sand while his mother, Haajirah (Hagar), searched for water. The location of the well had been forgotten ever since the tribe of Jurhum covered it when they were being exiled from Makkah. One night Abdul Muttalib had a dream in which he was shown where to dig the well. When he started digging next to the Ka`bah, the water of Zamzam began to flow again.
It was also during Abdul Muttalib`s time that the Ka’bah was attacked by the Ethiopian conqueror Abrahah and his men, whom the Qur'aan refers to as the Companions of the elephant. Abrahah advanced with an army of sixty thousand men, intent on destroying the Ka’bah. By destroying the Ka’bah, he hoped to divert Arab pilgrims to his church in Yemen.
Abrahah reached the valley of Muhassir, between Muzdalifah and Mina, ready to invade Makkah. As he advanced with his elephant, the beast that had terrified all of Makkah suddenly refused to move. As for the sixty thousand soldiers, Allah I, in defence of His sacred house of worship, sent flocks of birds to pelt the invaders with stones. The soldiers were repulsed, and they lay felled by the stones, their bellies resembling ‘mashed corn.’ Apart from the miraculous intervention of Allah I in defence of the Ka’bah, this episode in Makkan history showed the strength of Abdul Muttalib’s character. He stood up to Abrahah`s might in defence of his own property, unshakeable in his faith that Allah I would protect His sacred house, the Ka’bah.
Abdul Muttalib`s son, Abdullah, the father of the Prophet r, was a handsome youth. He was called “Dhabeeh” (the sacrificed) in reference to the rediscovery of Zamzam. When Abdul Muttalib was digging beside the Ka’bah in search of the old well, the Quraysh watched him idly. Once he began to reach wet soil, they insisted on sharing in his discovery, and they raised a great clamour. Abdul Muttalib vowed to Allah I that he would sacrifice one of his ten sons if he were allowed to uncover the well. In the end, Abdul Muttalib continued digging and discovered the old well.
Afterwards, he drew lots to determine which son he would sacrifice, and Abdullah was chosen. Abdul Muttalib took Abdullah to the Ka’bah and was prepared to sacrifice him, but the Quraysh, particularly Abdullah`s brothers and maternal uncles, were opposed to the sacrifice. Finally, it was decided that one hundred camels should be sacrificed in his place. Hence the Prophet r is called the descendant of the ‘two sacrificed ones’ (Ismaa’eel u and his own father, Abdullah). Similarly, he is referred to as the descendant of the ‘two elders held for ransom,’ for Ismaa'eel u was ransomed for a ram and his father for a hundred camels.
Abdullah was married to Aaminah, the daughter of Wahb, Wahb was a chieftain of Banu Zahra. Shortly after the marriage, Aaminah became pregnant, but before she could give birth to their child, Abdullah was sent by his father to Yathrib or Syria on business. Tragically, he passed away in Yathrib on the return journey and was buried in the house of Nabgha Dhabyani.
