The last prophet of God and founder of Islam.

Before Islam Arabia’s condition:

The pre-Islam period of Arabia is known as the age of ignorance, because of social, religious, and political disorder that was common in Arabs before Islam. Arabia had fallen into the belief in multiple gods, and they worshiped idols. Kaba housed 360 idols. They believed in angels as daughters of Allah and did not accept the concept of the Day of Judgment. The society engaged in vices such as gambling and drinking, while women had no rights in property or inheritance. The birth of a daughter was considered shameful, leading to the practice of burying daughters alive. There was no government or legal system in place. Arabs had mostly desert areas so the Arabian people depended on trade none of agriculture.

Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) was born at 12th Of Rabi-ul-Awwal in 571 A.D Makkah (Saudi Arab). He belongs to a respectable and noble family Bani-Hashim tribe of Quraish. His father’s name was Abdullah and his mother was BIBI Amina.  before he came into the world His father had died and his mother died when Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W) age was six years old. His grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, known as a generous man, brought him up. Later, his uncle Abu Talib took on the responsibility. According to Arab tradition, when the Holy Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) was born, Halima Sadia (R.A) nursed and took good care of the child. She belonged to the tribe Bani-saad.

He wanted to shift to the Kaba center of Sana’a. When he reached the Makkah, he faced Abdul-Muttalib. Abdul-Muttalib was known as a kind and generous man. He was a monotheist and hated the idol worship. Abraha said to Abdul-Muttalib you have lost my respect so my army of elephants would destroy your city or house of your God. Abdul Muttalib replied bravely and said that God will protect the Kaba. God has not needed the help of any person for the safety of his city. So therefore the army of birds flew from the sky. The birds were thrown a stone at Abraha’s army and defeated them. So God had protected the holy Kaba.

She consoled him and accompanied him to a Christian scholar, Warqa-bin-no fil, who affirmed that Muhammad (S.A.W) was the messenger of Allah.
