Holy Prophet (PBUH) was born on 12th Rabi-ul Awwal, the 50th day of the year of Elephants. His birth took place in the Arabian city of Makkah. Prophet’s (PBUH) father name was Abdullah, and his mother name was Amina. Prophet’s (PBUH) mother sent him to live the early life in the desert to learn pure Arabic. He stayed with his foster-mother, Halima Sadia for first two years of his life.
He belonged to the clan of Hashim, a weak yet respected branch of the prestigious tribe of Quraish. After his mother’s demise, Abdul Muttalib brought Prophet (PBUH) up but after his death too, his uncle, Abu Talib, looked him after. Under the guidance of his uncle, he became a shepherd. Prophet (PBUH) began to show signs of intelligence and inquisitive mind at a smaller age. He loved solitude and would not involve in playful activities with his age fellow children. Once, in his childhood, Prophet (PBUH) was among the company of kids, and Angel Jibrael (R.A) isolated him. Then Jibrael took his heart and cleaned it with Zamzam. Thus Nafs-e-Amara and the evil instinct vanished forever from his heart.
