In a notable piece of Islamic history, it is documented that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was born an orphan. His father, Hz Abdullah ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him), passed away approximately six months prior to the Prophet’s birth. This early loss of his father meant that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) entered the world without a paternal figure.
The Prophet’s mother, Amina bint Wahb, provided the initial care and support. After her passing when the Prophet was just six years old, he was then cared for by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and later by his uncle, Abu Talib. Despite these early adversities, the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) grew to become a figure of profound compassion and leadership, with his experiences of loss and hardship deeply influencing his character and mission.
This historical context underscores the Prophet’s remarkable resilience and the profound empathy that would later define his teachings and leadership.
