The last prophet in the world, last prophet in the world, last prophet in the world To show how to be closer to Allah He is Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam Family Background Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam's family tree started from Prophet Ibrahim through Ismail. The Prophet was born in the most respected tribe in Arabia, the Quraysh. His family name was Hashim after his great grandfather. Hashim was very respected and generous. He used to take care of the people that came to Mecca for Hajj and distribute food to them.
He was a businessman. For his business, during the winter he used to travel to Yemen and during the summer he used to go to Syria. He had a very good connection with these two countries.
One summer at Medina, he married Salma in his business trip and Salma got pregnant. But after a few days, Hashim died in Gaza, Palestine. Salma's baby boy was born in Egypt.
boy was Shaiba. Hashim's family did not know about Salma. After eight years, Hashim's younger brother, Muttalib, knew about his brother's wife and son. So Muttalib brought them to Mecca.
People called Shaiba Muttalib's slave or known as Abdul Muttalib. He was very smart, handsome and generous just like his father Hashim. Later, Abdul Muttalib or Shaiba Muttalib was the son of Muttalib. Shaiba became the leader of Quraysh.
Do you remember the miracle water of the Zamzam well, which was discovered during the time of baby Ismail and his mother Hajar, peace be upon them? Yes! The people of the Zurham tribe started to live in that area. After many, many years, the people started to worship idols as their gods. So, as a punishment, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala decided to dry the miracle water of the Zamzam well.
Day by day it was covered with stone and sand. After some time, everyone forgot about the Zamzam well. It was lost for many years. One day, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala showed the location of the Zamzam well to Abdul Muttalib in his dream.
He started to dig that place with one of his sons. The miracle water of the Zamzam well was found. At that time, Abdul Muttalib promised to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala that if he had ten sons, he would sacrifice one of his sons to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
Finally, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala gave him ten sons. One day, Abdul Mutalib remembered his promise to sacrifice one of his sons. But he did not know which son he would choose. So, he drew a lottery. His youngest son, Abdul Mutalib, won the lottery.
His son Abdullah, the Prophet's father, was selected. Everyone loved Abdullah very much. So, they offered 100 camels to be sacrificed.
instead of Abdullah. Then Abdul Muttalib drew the lottery three times between Abdullah and the 100 camels. Every time Allah selected the 100 camels and saved our Prophet Muhammad's father, Abdullah.
Later on Abdullah got married to Amina, one of the most honorable woman in Quraysh. Her father's name was Wahab. Amina became pregnant after a few days. During that time, Abdullah went to Syria for a business trip.
However, about two months before Muhammad would be born, his father Abdullah died in Medina on his return journey. At that time, he was only 25 years old. So, did Abdullah see his son Muhammad at all? No, Abdullah could not see his son Muhammad, peace be upon him. But he knew his wife was pregnant.
During that time, Mecca was very famous for the house of God and it became a very big business center. The governor of Yemen, Abraha, became very greedy to take over the house of God. control of Makkah. At one excuse he was ready to attack Makkah with a very big army.
With him he had sixty thousand soldiers and around around 13 big elephants. Abraha used the biggest elephant for himself. The people of Makkah became scared.
Abdul Mutalib had a very strong sense of faith in Allah. He knew the house of Allah would be saved in a miracle way because they did not have enough strength to fight Abraha's army. He told everyone to take all the elephants. of their family members and hide in the mountain tops.
At that time, the Prophet's mother, Amina, was eight months pregnant. Then the miracle started to happen. When Abraha's army was close to Makkah, all of the elephants just sat there.
Nothing could stop them. Suddenly, all of the elephants started to run in the other direction. Meanwhile, Mawassabanathala sent lots of small birds with three stones. One was in their beak and the other two were in their claws. The birds dropped their stones on Abraha's name.
The stones cut their body parts right away and killed them instantly. Their body became like smashed corn. It was a... horrible moment for Abraha's army and every one of them died by Allah's punishment. Why did Allah save the Kaaba with that big miracle?
At that time, Rome and Persian empires were very powerful. That miracle was a big alarm to the whole world to warn them not to attack Makkah. It was a very big welcome sign for Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam coming to protect Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's house and law. Around 50 days later, our beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam was born on the 20th or 22nd of April in the year of 571. It was Monday morning and the Arabic date was 31st of April. was 9th Rabi al-awwal.
But, I thought our Prophet Muhammad was born at the 12th Rabi al-awwal. Yes, some scholars also think it was 12th Rabi al-awwal in the year of 570. But most researchers consider 9th Rabi al-awwal and the year 571 to be the most accurate. But let me clear up one thing. There are two different information here.
Rabi al-Awwal is the Arabic month from the Arabic calendar and year 571 is from the Christian calendar. So Allah knows the best about the correct birth date of Muhammad. Well, that's all for today. Inshallah, we'll see you next time. Assalamu Alaikum Alhamdulillah, we have finally reached Muhammad's story.
And this actually happens to be the first video of this series. Creating videos about Prophet Muhammad's life is a lot of work. And because of that, for this series, inshaAllah, there will be several videos in order to cover his entire life story.
