Muhammad {Pbuh} was a normal humanbeing like all of us. He was then bestowed with Prophethood, i.e was given the responsibility of conveying the message of Allah to all of us. He was finest human being, possessed very good character.

Muhammad was born in mecca, arabia, on monday, january 1, 570 A.D.
arabia is a dried, arid and lifless place, except for the few oasis around, where water and date palms can be found. To the north of arabia, is the syrian desert and to the east is iraq (persia), to the south is the indian ocean, and on the west is the red sea. According to your muhammadan lunar calendar, muhammad was born on the 12th of rabiy'ul awwal, in the year of the elephant. His parents name was aminya and abullat. Both of them were from the quraysh tribe, or baniy quraysh.

The quraysh tribe, whose symbol was "the fish/reptilian," and was the title of fihr bin malik. He was supposedly one of the most powerful and respected men in all of northern arabia, and lived in the 3rd century of the christian era (208 A.D.). In the 5th century a descendant of fihr bin malik by the name of qusayy bin kalb became ruler of mecca, uniting all of the qurayshan tribes. These tribes stayed united as one, until the authority was passed from abd shams bin abd manaaf to his younger brother, haashim after the death of abd shams, his son, umayyah envied haashim's position and initiated an open combat between the two men resulting with umayyah being banished from mecca for 10 years. This caused the famous rivalry between the "haashimites" and the "umayyahs." Haashim became as beloved a leader as his ancestor, fihr ibn malik.

When haashim died an early death, his brother, muttalib became leader of the quraysh. When muttalib found out that haashim had a son named shayba, living in yathrib, he was nicknamed abdul muttalib, for it was mistakened that he was muttalib's slave (slavery was very prominent back then in arabia amongs all the ethnicities moors, hindus, euro-arabs, and the various mixtures and still active today).

At muttalib's death, abdul muttalib became chief of banu haashim and in charge of various paganistic duties in the upkeep of the ka'aba. Again, the old enmity between the ummayads and haashimites resurfaced. When harb, son of umayyah saw that abdul muttalib had been chosen as chief, he challenged the decision as his father had done before him.

But the decision of the judges went against harb, just as they did in the case of his father, umayyah. This, no doubt caused jealousy betwwen banu haashim (haashimtes) and banu umayyah (umayyads) which increased day by day.

As before, the haashimtes surfaced as the victors. Abdul muttalib was well respected by the quraysh for his fairness and generosity. When abdullah became 25 years old, his father abdul muttalib accompanied him to the house of wahhab, the chief of banu zuhra, and the brother of the famous kosai, to claim his daughter, amiynah (530-576 A.D.) as his wife. Amiynah's mother was barra bint; bint means "daughter". Their union produced muhammad.

Muhammad was given the name muhammad by his grandfather, abul muttalib. The word muhammad comes from the ashuric/syriac arabic root word, hamada, meaning "to give praise." Now this word was stolen from the aramic/hebrew root word, khamad/chamad, meaning "to be delighting; beauty, greatly beloved, covet, delightable thing, delight, desire, goodly, lust." Remember saudi arabia was occupied with different religions, who had different so-called semitic dialects as: the jews, pagans, hanifs, sabians etc. who all influenced muhammad greatly.

A woman named thuwaybah, a bondswoman of muhammad's uncle, abu lahab suckled him for a few days, while his grandfather, abdul muttalib continued to look for a wet-nurse for his favourite grandson. Muhammad's father had passed on a little before his birth, at the young age of 25 years while travelling in caravan. It was customary in meeca to place the suckling babies in the care of a desert tribe, where the child grew up in the cleaner air, away from the cramped city and learnt the ways of the bedouins. As a bedouin, he was raised as a sheep's herder.

Later the orphan, muhammad was given to a woman named haliymah who was from the tribe of sa'adiyah. This tribe was known for the gracefulness of their speech. Haliymah weaned the baby when he was two years old, for it was customary after that period of time, to return the foster-children to their families. He was returned to his mother at four or five years old. However 1 year later muhammad's mother amiyna had passed on, therefore muhammad was given to his uncle, abu taalib, who looked out for him, for as long as he lived.
