587, Muhammad the Divine Light destined to expel once for all the darkness, and destined to abide in his law with mankind for ever, had his birth in this physical world, in the seed of Abraham through Ishmael, in the fulfilment of the Covenant which the Lord had established with Abraham.

Heaven's Announcement of the Advent of the Last Apostle of God EVENTS RECORDED BY the historians relate that as the Holy was born in Mecca, there were heavenly signs announc- ing the great advent of the Promised Mercy to the Worlds, the Last of the Apostles of God, and the deliverer of the Lord's Final Word to humanity, i.e., the Holy Qur'an, the Final Code of Discipline for Mankind. I. The idols installed by the pagans in the Holy Ka'ba, themselves fell down striking their faces to the ground.

2.In the distant land of Persia, where Fire was wor- shipped, the fire burning continuously for a thousand years in the altar, got itself extinguished. 3. The palace of Naushirwan the Just, the Persian King was shaken to its foundation. 4. A quake shock shook the Earth. 5. There was an extraordinary issue of the shooting stars from heaven.

It is quite obvious that the above signs were given to awaken man from his slumber to know the arrival of the Promised Prophet with the Final Word of Guidance from the Lord, for mankind as a whole. The Immediate or the Nearest Ancestry of Muhammad the Promised Prophet, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Ghost THE QOREISHITES WERE the direct descendants of Abraham through Ishmael, and Abde Manaf had four sons, Hashim, Muttalib, Naufal and Abdush Shams.

Hashim died, away from home in one of his trade expeditions and a young son of his was left in the Caravan. Muttalib the brother of Hashim went and fetched the son of his late brother and brought him up along with his own children, and thus the son of Hashim was known as Abdul Muttalib. The children of Hashim through his son Abdul Muttalib were called the Hashimites. Abdul Muttalib had three sons, Abdullah, Abu Taleb and Jafar.

Abdush Shams, the son of Abde Manaf, had a clever, crafty and active Roman slave boy Omayya whom Abde Manaf had pur- chased and presented to his son Abdush Shams. Omayya, a heathen by birth, had spent his childhood among the Roman Christians. He was not only of questionable birth but was also evil hearted, mean by nature and vicious in temperament. His master Abdush Shams owing to his close attachment, held him as an adopted son.
