Birth<br />

20/22 April, 571 C.E.: (9th Raby-al-awal) <strong>The</strong> <strong>Prophet</strong><br />

<strong>Muhammad</strong> [bpuh] was born in Makkah on Monday<br />

morning. His father, Abdullah Ibn Abdul Muttalib, died<br />

two months before his birth.<br />

His mother immediately sent someone to inform his<br />

grandfather Abdul Muttalib <strong>of</strong> the happy event.<br />

Happily he came to her, carried him to Al Kabah,<br />

prayed to Allah and thanked Him. Abdul Muttalib<br />

called the baby <strong>Muhammad</strong>, a name not then common<br />

among the Arabs. He circumcised him on his seventh<br />

day as was the custom <strong>of</strong> the Arabs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first woman who suckled him<br />

after his mother was Thuwaibah, the<br />

freed slave <strong>of</strong> Abu Lahab, with her<br />

son, Masruh. She had suckled<br />

Hamzah bin Abdul Muttalib before<br />

and later Abut Salamah bin Abdul<br />

Asad Al Makhzumi.<br />
