    About this ebook

    The advent of the Prophet Muhammad SAW changed the face of the history of mankind in a manner that this world has never seen before. Since the first man and Prophet Adam Pbuh was sent down to Earth, Allah SWT sent many prophets and messengers to guide mankind to the Truth and to the Straight Path. Soon after the deaths of these prophets, their followers deviated from the teachings and corrupted the religion of Allah. He rejuvenated the Truth as taught by the previous prophets and messengers, and re-established the Law of Allah on Earth through the teachings of The Holy Qur'an and the practice of the Sunnah.

    At the time of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, two great prophetic religions were practiced in the environs of Arabia - namely Judaism and Christianity. Both of these religions were born from the basic teachings of Islam (Tawhid/Pure Monotheism) as taught by Prophet Musa Pbuh and Prophet Isa Pbuh. However, the original teachings were lost, and these religions were born. Though the Arabs believed in the concept of a supreme deity as originally taught by their progenitor Prophet Ibrahim Pbuh, most of the Arabs had become polytheists while a minority amongst them turned towards the religions of their cousins, Judaism and Christianity. The Bait-Al-Haraam in Makkah, which had been reconstructed by Prophet Ibrahim Pbuh for Allah's worship had been filled with hundred images and idols by these polytheists.

Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, 'This is what we were provided with before.' And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally." (The Noble Quran 2:25)

      Prolog

      The advent of the Prophet Muhammad SAW changed the face of the history of mankind in a manner that this world has never seen before. Since the first man and prophet Adam (AS) was sent down to Earth, Allah SWT (God) sent many prophets and messengers to guide mankind to the Truth and to the Straight Path. Soon after the deaths of these prophets, their followers deviated from the teachings and corrupted the religion of Allah. He rejuvenated the Truth as taught by the previous prophets and messengers, and re-established the Law of Allah on Earth through the teachings of The Holy Qur'an and the practice of the Sunnah.

      At the time of the birth of the Prophet Muhammad SAW, two great prophetic religions were practiced in the environs of Arabia - namely Judaism and Christianity. Both of these religions were born from the basic teachings of Islam (Tawhid/Pure Monotheism) as taught by Prophet Musa (Pbuh) and Prophet Isa (Pbuh). However, the original teachings were lost, and these religions were born.

      Though the Arabs believed in the concept of a supreme deity as originally taught by their progenitor Prophet Ibrahim (Pbuh), most of the Arabs had become polytheists while a minority amongst them turned towards the religions of their cousins, i.e. Judaism and Christianity. The Bait-Al-Haraam in Makkah, which had been reconstructed by Prophet Ibrahim (Pbuh) for Allah's worship had been filled with 360 images and idols by these polytheists.

      Most of the Arabs at that time were illiterate and drenched in pagan practices. The society was oppressive and full of vice. Women had no place in society. They did not inherit any wealth, and were used by the men merely for their pleasure. In fact, upon the death of a man, his sons used to inherit all of his wives as well along with his wealth. Birth of girls in a family was considered to be a curse, and below the dignity of the family. Thus, the honourable Arabs used to bury their new born baby girls alive. The Arabs used to indulge excessively in wine, gambling and poetry. Having mastery over the language was considered to be one of the greatest pastimes. And the best form was poetic.

      The Arabs led immoral and oppressive lives. Slavery was rampant, and the slaves were treated worse than animals. The weak and poor were oppressed by the strong. There was no security of life, property and honor. The tribes would fight till death over the smallest problems.

      Besides all these defects in their society, the Arabs possessed some good qualities too. They were courageous, wise, and especially generous towards their guests. They honored them and were very hospitable towards them. They were also great horsemen.

      Muhammad's Family - The Quraish

      The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was a direct descendant of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) through his eldest son Isma`il (AS). Makkah continued to be a thriving city thereafter, and the House of Allah - the Ka`bah - continued to be the center of worship in Arabia. It also attracted traders from all over the region. The descendents of Isma`il (AS) - the Arabs - thus settled in Makkah, and then spread out all over Arabia. With the passage of time, the worship of the one Allah was contaminated and the Ka`bah was filled with other idols who were considered to be the daughters of Allah. Even the well of Zamzam was forgotten.

      Eventually, an Arab tribe called the Khuza`ah took over the control of Makkah. They had migrated north from the Yemen. One of the noblest tribes of that time was the Quraish who occupied a prominent place among the tribes of Arabia. Around four hundred years after Prophet Isa (AS), a Quraishi called Qusayy was married to the daughter of Hulayl, the chief of the Khuza`ah tribe. Hulayl preferred Qusayy over his two sons to succeed him as chief of Makkah, for Qusayy was an outstanding personality among the Arabs of his time. Thus, on the death of Hulayl, there was a fierce battle, which ended in arbitration. It was agreed that Qusayy should rule over Makkah and be the guardian of the Holy Ka`bah.

      Upon his death, Qusayy's mantle was transferred to his eldest son `Abd al-Dar, although his younger son `Abdu Manaf was considered to be a more honored person even during the lifetime of Qusayy. The younger brother `Abdu Manaf continued to honor his elder brother `Abd al-Dar. However, the next generation of the Quraish transferred the leadership of the tribe from `Abd al-Dar to Hashim, the son of `Abd Manaf. The Quraish were divided, and this almost led to a battle to death between the two sides. Eventually a compromise was worked out, allowing the children of `Abdu Manaf to the rights over levying taxes and providing food and drink to the pilgrims, whereas the sons of `Abd al-Dar would retain the keys of the Ka`bah and their house would continue to be the House of Assembly. Thus peace was restored.

      Hashim was the son of `Abdu Manaf.  Thus he gained power and great respect. It was he who established the two great caravan journeys from Makkah - the Caravan of Winter to the Yemen and the Caravan of Summer to north-west Arabia and beyond to Palestine and Syria (see al-Qur'an, Surah 106). He was married to a woman from Yathrib name Salma. His clan was known as the Banu Hashim. The Banu Hashim were, in particular, held in high esteem. They were respected greatly by all.

      However Hashim did not live long. He had two full brothers, `Abdu Shams and Muttalib, and one half-brother, Nawfal. `Abdu Shams and Nawfal were extremely busied with trade, so the rights of watering and feeding the pilgrims and also levying taxes fell in Muttalib's hands. However, more than anything else, the question of his own successor worried him most. Hashim had three sons from wives other than Salma, and Muttalib himself had sons himself, but from what he had heard, none could be compared with Shaybah, Hashim's son from Salma. Muttalib had received impressive reports about Shaybah, who lived in Yathrib (now Madinah) with his mother. Therefore, he went to see for himself, and was thoroughly convinced that Shaybah had great qualities of leadership and wisdom. He convinced Salma to allow Shaybah to go back to Makkah with him, so that he would have a chance to succeed him.

      Shaybah came to be known as `Abdul Muttalib, meaning Slave of Muttalib. `Abdul Muttalib impressed the Makkans greatly, and when Muttalib died, there was no dispute over the fact that `Abdul Muttalib was the best candidate for the job. Thus, he became the leader of the Banu Hashim, and was now responsible for feeding and watering the pilgrims.

      `Abdul Muttalib had ten sons. The youngest, `Abdullah, was his favorite son. He was married to Amina, the daughter of Wahb ibn `Abd Manaf ibn Zuhrah. A few days after his marriage, `Abdullah had to proceed on business to Syria with a caravan. While returning he fell seriously ill and breathed his last at Madina. Thus, Amina became a widow. Unfortunately `Abdullah did not live long enough to enjoy the happiness of seeing his expected offspring.
