Childhood of Prophet Muhammad

Date of Birth

According to various scholars, the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is stated as 8, 9, 12, and 17 Rabi’ul Awwal.

However, most of the scholars agree that it is 12 Rabi’ul Awwal. According to the Islamic calendar, this date is 20 or 22 April, 571 A.H. When the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, came into this world, there were the lunar months, i.e. Muharram, Safar, Rabi’ul Awwal, etc. However, there was no Islamic calendar for years.

Since there was no Islamic calendar, it was said to state the birth of any child, that such and such child was born after such and such event. The meaning of Aam-ul-Feel is the year of elephants. This is the year when the king of Yemen, Abraha, attacked the Kaaba with an army of elephants.

Abraha and his army were destroyed by the army of Abaweel sent by Allah. According to the scholars, the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was born 45 days after this event.

How the Hijri year began?

During the reign of Hazrat Umar Farooq, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, all the companions of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, gathered at Masjid-e-Nabwi on Friday night, 30th of Jamadi-ul-Thani, 17 Hijri. He gave a great sermon on the importance of Islamic history and age. At that time, four types of dates were famous and well-known in the world.

Kambri date, i.e. to see the date according to the moon. Eeswi date, which is also called the English date. Tarikh-e-Ibrani, which is the date of the Jews.

And Tarikh-e-Juliani. Hazrat Umar said that the Islamic year should be according to the moon. Now tell me where should the beginning of Islamic history be? Some companions, may Allah be pleased with them, said that the birth of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, should start with blessings.

Hazrat Umar said, In this way, there is similarity with the Christians. Because the beginning of their year starts with the birth of Jesus Christ. Some companions said that when the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, received prophethood, the beginning of Islamic history should start from that day.

He said that the early period of prophethood was a period of injustice and injustice on Islam and Muslims. Some companions said that the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, should start with the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. Hazrat Umar also rejected this opinion.

And said that the death of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was a major incident and a great loss for the Muslim Ummah. The beginning of Islamic history is not suitable for this. Then Hazrat Umar himself said that the beginning of Islamic history should start with the migration.

Because from the migration, there was a difference and distinction between right and wrong. And from the migration, Islam was victorious. Now the question arises that the beginning of Islamic history should start from which month? Some said that the Islamic year should start from Ramadan.

Hazrat Usman-e-Ghani said that the month in which the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, migrated, the Islamic year should start from that month. The Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, migrated in the month of Rabi-ul-Awwal. But he had decided to migrate in the month of Muharram.

Therefore, the beginning of the Islamic year should start from Muharram-ul-Haram. Therefore, the beginning of the Islamic year was decided to be from Muharram-ul-Haram. Therefore, the Islamic year was given the name of the Hijri year.

Background of Prophet Muhammad

The name of the father of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is Hazrat Abdullah. And the name of his mother was Hazrat Aamina bint Wahab.

Before the birth of the Prophet, the father of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was passed away. And he was only six years old when his mother, Hazrat Aamina, also passed away. After this, until the age of eight, his upbringing was done by his grandfather, Hazrat Abdul Muttalib.

At the age of eight, his grandfather’s shadow was also removed from his head. And then, from the age of eight to his youth, he was under the care of his uncle, Hazrat Abu Talib.

The night he came into the world, Allah Almighty showed many miracles to the world.

The fire of Persia, in which the fire had been lit for a thousand years, and the Persians worshipped that fire, was suddenly extinguished. The palace of Kisra was divided into two parts and fourteen domes were broken and fell on the ground. The Sawa River, which had been dry for centuries, water was released into it.

And the Samawa River, in which water had always been released, once the water in it dried up. All the idols in the world, the idols present in them fell on the ground. And all the kings’ thrones in the world fell on the ground due to the breaking of the feet.

All the magicians, sorcerers, sorcerers and sorcerers, their knowledge was answered. Those who told the news of the unseen with their tongue were dumbfounded for a night. Especially those sorcerers, whose relatives brought news for them from the heavens, their and their relatives’ meetings were over.

A light appeared from the earth of Mecca, whose light was so far away that the people of Mecca sat in Mecca and examined the palaces of Syria with their own eyes. And all night the stars fell with such force that people were worried and were asking each other what had happened tonight. Amr bin Umaiyyah, who was a famous poet, was asked by the people why these stars were constantly breaking.

He said, those famous stars with whose help people know the way, know the conditions of summer and winter. Go and see if those stars have broken, then understand that this night is the last night of this universe, because it is a sign of the Day of Judgment. And if those stars are still in their place and other stars are breaking, then understand that today a very strange and strange event has occurred in the world.

When the people saw that those famous stars were still in their place, they were convinced that tonight some great event had occurred. History also tells that angels were coming from the sky, singing songs of praise and glory to the earth. Seeing these extraordinary events, where humans were surprised, there the devil was also worried and amazed.

He gathered his disciples and told them to find out what the matter was. The disciples of the devil went around the world and returned unsuccessful in the morning and told the devil that they could not find out anything. After this, the devil himself decided to leave and thought that I will go to the sky and see what is going on in the angels.

Devil Role;

At that time, the devil had access to the fourth heaven, but today the angels stopped him in the first heaven and drove him away with fiery weapons. After this, the devil went out for a walk on the ground and tried to enter the ground of the temple, but there too the angels stopped him. After this, he reached the back side of Mecca, Jabal-e-Noor, where the cave of Hira is and where the first revelation was revealed to the Prophet.

There he transformed himself into a small bird and then tried to enter the temple. This time, Hazrat Jibrail recognized him and drove him away from there. The devil asked Hazrat Jibrail, O Jibrail, what incident has happened today that I have been stopped from going to the heavens and now I have not been allowed to enter the temple even in the form of a bird.

Hazrat Jibrail said that today is a very holy night. Today is the night of the birth of the government of the Prophets, the Prophet Muhammad. Today is the night of the birth of the government of the Prophets, the Prophet Muhammad.

They are about to be born, so you have been stopped from entering this place. The devil asked Hazrat Jibrail, O Jibrail, at least tell me whether I will be able to control this child or not. Will I be able to mislead them or not? Hazrat Jibrail said that you will not be able to control this light.

You will not be able to control this light. Then the devil asked, O Jibrail, will their reciters be misled by me or not? Hazrat Jibrail said, O devil, the Messenger is the Messenger. You will not be able to control their reciters until the love of this world is born in his heart.

When the love of the world is born, the devil will make him his slave.

During the pregnancy.

The mother of the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said, During the pregnancy, I never felt any discomfort or pain. And there was never a feeling that the common women of Arabia used to describe at the time of the birth of the first child.

Time of Birth

She said that I and Fatima bint Asad were sitting in the room, Suddenly there was an increase in the light of the room. And it seemed that this room was getting covered with eyes. Mr. Fatima bint Asad was nervous to see this scene.

She got up from her place to go and tell the men of the house. She called out to Hazrat Abu Talib and said what she had seen. Hazrat Abu Talib said, Fatima, do not worry.

This whole scene is because of the light that is going to come into this world. Hazrat Amina says that Hazrat Fatima bint Asad came out here. A white bird began to be seen there.

The strange thing is that the roof of the house has also disappeared. And there is so much light everywhere that it has covered everything around me. And now I am watching up to the seventh sky.

Mr. Amina says that a white bird came at that time. He rubbed his body with my forehead. As soon as he rubbed his body with my forehead, All the light around me was condensed and accumulated in my forehead.

Mr. Amina looked at the sky. And after that he began to see his room again. Mr. Fatima bint Asad had also come again at that time.

Mr. Amina says that four women came to me at that time. Who had glasses and mirrors in their hands. They greeted me and said that we are the fairies of heaven.

And by the command of the Lord, we have come to you. This is the sherbet of heaven, enjoy it. When Hazrat Amina drank that sherbet, she became oblivious to the world for a moment.

And as soon as she regains consciousness, she sees that her child is in such a state of prostration with her that his left hand is on the ground and his right hand is high towards the sky. His identity is on the side of the house of God. And as soon as he got up from prostration, such light appeared from his identity that I and my sister Fatima saw the red palace of Yemen on one side in the light of the same light.

Then I saw the area of Basra and Sham on the other side. And the neighborhoods of Iran on the third side came before our eyes. Hazrat Amina says that my child was born.

And I did not even know when this child appeared in the world. After this, the sounds of people’s greetings began to come in my ears. As-salamu alayka ya Muhammad, as-salamu alayka ya Ahmad.

I asked those four horses who are these people who are greeting. They said that these are the groups of angels who are coming to greet. After this, those four horses said that we are returning this trust in the hands of Gabriel and Michael.

One of those four horses took the child in his hands and then put it in the lap of a young man coming. I was told that this is Hazrat Gabriel. Hazrat Michael is with him.

And both had pots filled with the water of heaven in their hands. They started pouring this water on the child. And said, O Amina, this child does not need this water.

Because it is pure. There is no need to wash it. But we are washing it with this water to increase in light and purity.

Mr. Amina says that I saw that the child is dangerous. The naaf is cut and pure. Hazrat Gabriel and Michael had just finished bathing.

Suddenly a white cloud appeared from the sky. And he hid this child. After this, someone said in my ear to take it and show it to the mountains and forests of the world.

And tell everyone that this is your master and leader. You have to obey him. After a moment, the cloud that had covered the child moved.

And the child was seen lying in a green pot. I do not know where this pot came from. The child has three keys in his hand.

And someone said loudly, One of these keys is of victory and help. The second key is of the benefits of the world. Whoever walks with it will benefit.

And whoever turns away from it will suffer. The third key is the key of prophethood. So he sealed the chain of prophethood.

After this, no prophet will come. Suddenly I saw that another cloud came down. And he hid this child again.

Then someone said in my ear to take it and show it to all the birds, animals, saints and pious people in the world. And tell them that this is your master and leader. You have to obey him.

After a while, that cloud also moved. And my child is lying in the pot in the same way. And now there are three men standing at his head.

One of them has a mirror in his hand. The second has a square table made of pearls. And the third has a white handkerchief.

At the same time, my gaze went to my child. So I saw that my child also had a white handkerchief in his other hand. That is, one hand has three keys and the other hand has a white handkerchief.

And someone is saying that now the world is in his possession. He can deprive anyone in the world of the world. Then those three men went ahead and presented the pot of pearls to the child.

And said that you can take any part of it you want. The child put his hand in the middle of the pot, which is completely against the child’s nature. Because there are white pearls all around.

And the middle part is empty. The caller called out that he has chosen the house of the Kaaba from the world. Then the child was put in the same pot.

And one of them washed the child with the same water once again. Which Gabriel had brought. Then I saw that the third man opened that white handkerchief.

A ring came out of it. He put that ring between the two ears of the child and pressed it. And when he removed the ring from there, the seal of prophethood was fixed there.

At that time, the caller called out that this is Rizwan-e-Jannat. Who had come to give a bath to the Prophet at this time. One by one I saw that all three of them disappeared from this house.

Reaction Of Peoples

Mr. Aminah says that during this time when such miracles were happening in my room. Some strange and strange incidents also occurred on the land of Mecca. It is the time of the morning.

The disbelievers of Mecca are resting in their homes. And by the command of the Lord, four flags were sent from heaven to this world. The first flag was put on the Cave of Kaaf.

The second flag was put on the Cave of Abu Qubais. The third flag was put on the roof of the Kaaba. And the fourth flag was put on the Holy House.

At that time, Gabriel brought a candle, a candle holder and a lamp from heaven. And it was hung on the door of the Kaaba. And a tent made of red rubies from heaven was sent to Hazrat Abdul Muttalib by the Lord.

That is, tonight is the adornment of Mecca. Mecca is being adorned. In the morning, the people of Mecca get up and are surprised that at night.

We had seen strange and strange incidents in the sky. But now where did this candle come from in our city? Where did such a beautiful candle hanging on the door of the Kaaba come from? Who put these beautiful flags? And when they saw a tent made of red rubies in the courtyard of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib’s house. Often the leaders of Mecca were enraged with envy.

That whatever is, Abdul Muttalib is getting it. Whatever is a blessing, he is getting it. So the series of enmity that started while digging the swamp, it increased further.

The point is that when the night ended and the Prophet of God was born. The whole of Mecca was shining. And Hazrat Abdul Muttalib is waiting in his house.

What message do I get from my daughter-in-law Amina? On the other hand, the whole of Mecca is gathered outside the Kaaba. A Jewish scholar is walking outside the house of God in a state of restlessness and anxiety. And he is asking one by one that did you not give birth to a child yesterday? Everyone thinks he is crazy that what is the purpose of this question? He said that my knowledge is witnessing that a child was born in Mecca yesterday.

So the prophethood has ended with the Israelites. The eternal humiliation for the Jews has become their destiny. This is what worries me.

He is walking with restlessness that my tribe is going to be humiliated forever. The prophethood is going to end with us. He comes again and again and asks everyone to tell God.

Did any of you give birth to a child? Everyone answers in no. In the end, he gets nervous and says that no one is left to come here. People said to wait.

The leaders of Mecca are about to come. When they come, ask them. The rest have all arrived here.

The Jewish scholar found out that the grandson was born to Hazrat Abdul Muttalib. He is restless and says to Hazrat Abdul Muttalib that I want to visit that child once. So that the purpose under which I have left my country and been living in Mecca for so many months, may be fulfilled.

And I find out if the same child has really been born or not. Seeing the restlessness of that scholar, Abdul Muttalib brings the Prophet of Islam to a gathering. The Jewish scholar looked at the child and screamed helplessly that this is the child after which the kingdom of the Israelites was over.

Prophethood from the Israelites is over. This is the child who will be the ruler of the whole world. And because of this, the Arabs will leave their land and spread all over the world.

The people of Mecca, who were already jealous of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib, when they saw that the priest is coming to their house, the priest is coming to give good news to them, the magician is coming in search of them, and every visitor gives some good news, someone is making predictions. People are getting more and more jealous of Abdul Muttalib and this child. What kind of child is this? Hundreds of children were born on the land of Mecca, but in this way, no one got freedom.

This jealousy, which was born from the beginning, later turned into religious opposition. The Jewish scholar screamed helplessly that I have recognized this child. I came to Mecca in search of him.

Mr. Abdul Muttalib, who is on the religion of Abraham and is aware of all the secrets, when he heard this sentence, he immediately took the Prophet of Islam back home and buried him. The Prophet of Islam was kept buried for four days. However, when the fourth day passed, an extremely educated and famous person from Arabia, whose name was Sawad ibn Qarib, came to the service of Hazrat Abdul Muttalib and said that I have learned that a child has been born in your family.

I would like to visit him once. Mr. Abdul Muttalib had seen that due to fulfilling the desire of the Jewish scholar, the whole of Mecca or at least the opponents of the Banu Hashim family were jealous of hearing this news. This Sawad ibn Qarib has more respect in Mecca.

If they say anything about the child, then the jealousy of the people of Mecca will increase. Therefore, Mr. Abdul Muttalib refused that he could not bring his grandson to Majma-e-Aam at this time. Sawad ibn Qarib became restless and said that then do something to take me to that child.

Mr. Abdul Muttalib said that yes, this can be accepted. There will be no one other than me. Its purpose will also be fulfilled and there will be no problem of jealousy.

Therefore, they took him with them and entered the house of Mr. Aminah. As soon as they reached near the well and removed the cloth from the child, a strange kind of light spread all over the room. Sawad ibn Qarib is an educated person.

He knows what is going to happen in the last days. Unwillingly, they bow and kiss the feet of this child. They say to Mr. Abdul Muttalib that you be a witness.

I have already brought faith on this child. I know that I will not be alive until the time of the announcement of the Prophet. But you be a witness that I am still bringing faith on this child.

Because I know that he is the last messenger of Allah. Therefore, apart from Banu Hashim, after the birth of the Prophet, the first person to bring faith is Sawad ibn Qarib. This incident is of the fourth day of the birth of the Holy Prophet.

After 7th days of Birth

On the seventh day, Mr. Abdul Muttalib investigates his grandson and invites all the people of Mecca to the feast of Aqeeqah. At that time, someone asked Mr. Abdul Muttalib what is the name of the child. Mr. Abdul Muttalib and Mr. Aminah had already received the glad tidings of the name of the Prophet.

Therefore, they said that I have named it Muhammad. This name was new on the Arabian land. No one had named it until today.

The literal meaning of this is the person who is praised. The people of Mecca say to Mr. Abdul Muttalib that what name have you named, which no one has ever named in history. Mr. Abdul Muttalib says that my wish is that the whole world praises this child. That is why I have named it

At the age of 15th months

At the age of 15 months, he began to shoot arrows. And at the age of 30 months, i.e. at the age of two and a
half years, the Prophet used to wrestle with young men and defeat them. Such a rapid decline was on the one hand the miracle of prophethood and on the other hand, the concern was that the one who comes will look for the child who was born on the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal last year.

In his mind, it will be that he is a one-year-old child. He must have been able to walk now. Therefore, if his gaze is on the Prophet, he may ignore him.

Under the supervision of Bibi Halima

And when he was under the supervision of Bibi Halima, he was surprised that whenever our heart wants to bathe him and put oil on his head, we see that someone has bathed and combed before us. When ordinary children wake up after sleeping, they have acne in their eyes, etc. And when they wake up after sleeping, their faces are completely fresh and lively.

When we wanted to change their clothes, we found out that they had already worn a new dress. So much so that in terms of food, the house where they went, there was a risk due to the Prophet. The Prophet never took part in the food of the family.

So now whoever is going to raise them, they are surprised that we do not have to do any work. So much so that when the childhood was such an age that usually due to natural needs, the child’s clothes get spoiled. Mr. Aminah and Mr. Halima say that we have never seen the signs of those necessary needs on the Prophet’s clothes.

The point is that all the work is being done by the Lord of the world.

Death of Hazrat Muhammad Father

And at the time of the birth of Mr. Abdullah, blood began to come out of it. They thought that if Mr. Abdullah was killed before marriage, then the birth of the Prophet would not be possible. Therefore, they attacked.

But that attack also failed. And as a result, Mr. Abdullah was married to Mr. Aminah. Now after marrying Mr. Aminah, the Jews were even more worried about what to do now.

They had to stop the process of birth in some way and coincidentally they got a chance. Mr. Abdullah goes to Medina for some work and Medina is the home of the Jews. Therefore, it is known from the traditions that Mr. Abdullah was attacked in Medina and Mr. Abdullah was martyred Now the Jews were satisfied that the father of the Prophet was martyred.

Only one thing to find out is that if they have any children or not. If it is found that they were childless, then go home and sleep peacefully. And if it is found that they have any children, then they will have to arrange for their murder.

A group of Jews formed. These people came to Mecca from Medina for this work. When they came there and investigated, they were satisfied when they found out that they were childless.

Therefore, they went back to Medina with great satisfaction. After reaching Medina, from Medina to Sham, wherever the Jews were spread, everyone was given this good news that congratulations, the danger that was for us has been averted. The blood that was coming out of the jacket of Hazrat Yahya has now dried up, which made it certain that the father of the Prophet has passed away and he has no children, which means that the last Prophet has been born.
