Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Ethics of The Prophets The Ethos Of ================================= The Personality Of The Holy Prophet The holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad Ibn-Abdullah was born in Mecca in the Year of the Elephant (A.D.570) 6163 years after the Fall of Adam. His father was Abdullah Ibn -Abdul-Muttalib Ibn -Hashim Ibn -Abd Munaf and his mother was Amina daughter of Wahab Ibn -Abd Munaf.

When Amina was only one month pregnant, Abdullah made a trip to Medina but became sick after fifteen days and passed away. His body was buried in Darolnabeqa. It was Friday night of the 17th of Rabeeul Awwal when Amina went to a chamber to weep over her husband. When birth-pangs overtook her, there was a split in the ceiling of house and four beautiful ladies came down saying: Fear not, for we have come to serve you. Each took a seat near her and a secret voice called: O Amina!

Several women in heavenly garments too came with crystal bowls of sherbet giving her the glad tidings of Muhammad who was born at dawn on Friday while falling in prostration before Ka’ba with both hands raised towards heavens saying: There is no god but Allah. It was a custom among the Arabs to entrust their children to nurses so that their wives will give birth to more children. Most of these nurses were from among the Bedouins. This made children more valiant and eloquent.

They were taken to Amina’s house where Muhammad was given to her. Halima took him in her arms putting her breast into his mouth. Muhammad never sucked Halima’s left breast leaving it for his foster brother. The holy Prophet lost his mother at the age of six.
