His Naming (s)

After the birth of the Prophet (s) he was taken to his grandfather, 'Abdul Muttallib. The latter was particularly fond of 'AbduLlah, the late father of Rasulullah. He once sacrificed 100 camels

1/10
as ransom over his oath to sacrifice his 11th son, which turned out to be 'AbduLlah, his favorite.

Abdul Muttallib was an eminent leader of the Quraysh. He was very handsome and upright. He had played an important role in the Battle of the Elephant, 30-50 days earlier.

2/10
He was indeed glad to see Rasulullah (s). He held him and took him into the Ka'bah and made du'a for him, while praising Allah 'azza wa jalla.

His mother, Amina (r) as well as Thuwaibah, the freed slave of Abu Lahab both suckled him,

7 days later, the aqiqa rights were performed for him. Abdul Muttallib prepared a great party. There was a lot to eat and drink, all the invitees (Quraysh) felt truly honored.

They remarked: we have been truly honored by you over this son, so what do you name him?

4/10
Abdul Muttallib responded: I name him Muhammad (s)
This was a rare name. It means "the Praise Worthy"

The Quraysh said: won't you name him after anyone from his clan?

Abdul Muttallib responded: I wish for him to be praised by his Lord in the heavens, & creatures on earth

5/10
Scholars say; indeed Allah inspired (ilham) Abdul Muttallib to thus name the Prophet. Amina had previously experienced visions instructing her to name him Muhammad.

His name is Muhammad, and he has always been Muhammad!

وشق له من إسمه ليجله
فذو العرش محمود وهذا محمد

6/10
His name is Muhammad in the Torah, Zabur (Songs of Solomon) and the Injeel (Gospel).

He also says (s): I am Muhammad, I am Ahmad, I am Mahy, by me Allah wipes infidelity, I am al Hashir, all men will be resurrected upon my front, I am 'Aqib.

7/10 Image
He said, responding to Umm Jamil and all else who insulted him at the beginning of his message:

ألا تعجبون كيف يصرف الله عنّي شتم قريش ولعنهم! يشتِمُون مُذَمَّماً، ويلعنون مُذَمَّماً، وأنا محمّد

8/10
"Do you not marvel at how God removed me from the insults and curses the Quraysh! They insult Muathammam and curse Muthammam, and I am Muhammad (s)!"

محمد سيد القوانين والثقلين
و الفريقين من عرب ومن عجم

9/10
The name of the Prophet (s).
The most honored name.
The most common name.
The most blessed name.

May Allah bless us by the honor of Muhammad bn 'AbduLlah salla Llahu' alayhi was salam

To be continued, in sha Allah.

PART 35 #BiographyOfRasul

Year 10 A. H.

The sharp and pungent proclamation read out by Ali during Hajj season of the ninth year of migration at Mina, on behalf of the Prophet (s) had a very deep and quick effect.

1/13
The tribes of different regions of Arabia, which had so far not submitted to Islam, on account of enmity and grudge, and rather persisted in the illogical rejection, became helpless and sent their representatives to Madinah.

2/13
No less than 72 tribes were sent, & the particulars of each discussion is recorded in history.
In less than 4 months, the entire Hijaz came under the banner of Islam and not a single idol-temple or idol or idolater was left in it.

PART 34 #BiographyOfRasul

Year 9 AH. Continued

While the Prophet was away in Tabuk, some hypocrites built a mosque, called Masjidul Zirar near Masjidul Qubah and started parallel prayers.

1/9
The Prophet ordered Masjid Zirar to be razed to the ground, its beams to be burnt, and its rubbish thrown there for some period.

This was a blow to the hypocrites who later broke up. Abdullah bin Ubayy, their sole supporter, died 2 months after the Battle of Tabuk.

2/9
The Prophet (s) was out with his business when he learnt about the condition of his son Ibrahim, so he returned home & took him from his mother, Mariya, placed him on his laps where little Ibrahim died. The Prophet (s) was very much saddened by his death.

PART 10 #BiographyOfRasul

A Brief Review of the Story so far

Since today is our 10th day, and the last part just before the main Prophethood, we will take a quick look at some issues so far.

1/14
The miracles of RasuluLlah (s) had started to manifest even before his earthly Prophethood. In fact, his miracles began before his birth. This is referred to as "Irhãsãt", which is differentiated from "Mu'jiza", with the latter occurring in the hands of a Prophet.

2/14
Some of these mind blowing miracles are:

• Protection of his ancestral lineage from sins and zina and their preservation upon the right path.
• Protection of the Ka'bah from destruction by the Yemenite King Abraha. This is mentioned in the Qur'an Sur Fil Q105.

PART 9 #BiographyOfRasul

The Dawn of Prophethood

Life in the eyes of the Prophet (s) seemed unreal. He was a unique jewel in the midst of mere gravels.

Ignorance was wide spread, and nearly everyone had abandoned honorable character.

1/10
It was an age of ignorance (Nahiliyyah) in which, generally speaking, moral rectitude & spiritual code had gone into oblivion.

Superstitious rites & dogmas had replaced the tenets of the Divine religion. Only a few (his ancestors) remained upon the religion of Ibrahim.

2/10
Arabians engaged in unnecessary fights, gambling, adultery and unfairness in all dealings.

The Qur'an informs us of their level of thinking; "And they say: There is nothing but our life of this world; we live and die and nothing but time annihilates us". (Qur'an, 45:24)

PART 8 #BiographyOfRasul

His Adulthood

Not just him, but everyone in the family in which he was born possessed
elements of heroism and bravery. He was strong, healthy and now rich.

1/14
He led a life of prudence and generosity. This was not the norm with most Arabians at the time. It made their home a center of cynosure, a beacon of hope for the poor and needy, who always hovered around them. He and his beautiful wife always kept the help coming.

2/14
There was a drought and famine during which the Prophet & his wife set a new pace for philanthropy.

His foster mother, Halima also came to visit during this time and he used to place his cloak beneath her feet and show her maximum love and care.

She loved him dearly too.

PART 7 #BiographyOfRasul

The Prophet Meets Nana Khadijah

After the incident of the Christian monk who advised Abu Talib not to go with Rasulullah to Syria, Abu Talib sold his goods at cheaper rate in Basra in order to return home.

1/14
Abu Talib inherited the acts of providing food/water for pilgrims from his father Abdul Muttallib, which costs him.

Additionally, the Quraysh battle attracted more spendings.

Now, the battles have subsided and trading resumed, but Abu Talib was in a financial crises

2/14
So, he suggested that the Prophet (s) introduces himself to one of the wealthiest people of Quraysh, a Lady, Khadija bint Khuwaylid.

Khadija always employed merchants for her business and was in search of an honest merchant.

She heard about the Prophet (s),
