Who is the Messenger, Muhammad s?
His Lineage:
He is Abul-Qasim (father of Al-Qasim) Muhammad, son of
Abdullah, son of Abdul-Mutalib. His lineage traces back to
the tribe of Adnan, son of Ismael [the Prophet of Allah, the
son of Ibraheem, the one whom Allah chose for His love] may
Allah exalt their mention. His mother is Aminah, daughter of
Wahb.

enemy of Islam before he became Muslim, attested to this fact
in front of Heraclius, the Ruler of Rome.

victory over the Persian forces. So, when the letter of the
Messenger of Allah reached Caesar, he said after reading
it, "Seek for me anyone of his people, (Arabs of Quraish
