1- Glad-Tidings about the Prophet peace be upon him before his mission:

It has been mentioned in a lot of  previous books about missionary people who mentioned the prophet Muhammad peace be up on him before his Coming such as "Yemen Ibn Qahtan" known by the name of  "Ya'reb" who wrote famous Poem about the prophet peace be up no him recognizing his Prophecy and wishing to be with him when everybody will deny his truth .

Also "As'ad el Humeiry" who his Greetings were Transmit  to the Holly Prophet in "El madinah" from generation to generation Over the centuries.

The monotheists "Shateeh" & "Sheq" who told  Some News about what will happens before and after his mission peace be up on him , and several others who were mentioned in the Book of "Shadarat El Akhbar A'n Qwmin Akhyar " such as "Qiss Ibn Sa'ada Al ayadi" , "Zaid Ibn Nafeel El Adawi" , "Waraqa Ibn Noufel Ibn Assad Ibn abd El Ozza" , "Otman Ibn El Houwairith Ibn Assad Ibn Abd El Ozza" , "Abdu Allah Ibn Jahch Ibn Riyab Ibn Ya'mor" and his Mother "Omaima Bent Abd El Motalib " and his sister " Zaynab Bent Jahch" .

Muhammad was the son of Abdullah, who was the son of Abdul-Muttalib, who was the son of Hashim; whose ancestry reaches the Prophet Ismael son of the Prophet Abraham, peace be upon them. The Prophet Muhammad was born in the city of Mecca, in Arabia, on a Friday, the 17th day of the lunar month of Rabi‘-I, in the year 570CE into a noble family whose fathers and ancestors were amongst the chiefs of the Quraysh tribe, and the Bani-Hashim clan.

His Prophetic mission began in the year 610CE on the 27thday of the month of Rajab, when he first received the divine revelation.  Then the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet progressively according to the circumstances of the time over a period of 23 years. 

2- Prophet Muhammad's Childhood:

Muhammad’s father Abdullah son of Abdul-Muttalib was the best and most pious among the sons of Abdul-Muttalib and his most beloved. Abdullah died while Muhammad was still in his mother’s womb. All that he left behind were five camels and a servant girl named Barakah, also known as Omm Ayman, who was Muhammad’s nanny. Abdullah was a true believer and a monotheist. After Abdullah’s death, Muhammad’s grandfather, AbdulMuttalib, became his guardian. Abdul-Muttalib was one of the chieftains of the tribe of Quraysh, and a believer in Allah [inthe way of Prophet Abraham], as was Abu Talib, a brother of Abdullah. Abdul-Muttalib always respected and honoured treaties and adopted the finest of morals. He loved the poor 

and helped pilgrims. He would even feed the wild beasts and the birds of the mountaintops. He would feed people in times of famine and would restrain wrongdoers. Muhammad’s mother was Aamenah daughter of Wahab son of Abd Manaf son of Kilab. She was also a believer in Allah.

Muhammad was not yet seven years old when his mother died. After his mother’s death, his grandfather AbdulMuttalib assumed guardianship of him. Because of his knowledge of the status of the child and his faith in him he treated Muhammad with more care and attention than his other children. A group of the Medlaj Clan came to Mecca and when they saw Muhammad they said to his grandfather: ‘Take good care of him for we have never seen another of his station.’ Abdul-Muttalib said to Abu Talib in his will to heed what 

they say and take care of him.  Muhammad was eight when his grandfather died, and he was taken into the care of his uncle Abu Talib. 

Abu Talib, chief of the Bani-Hashim clan within the Quraysh, then became the guardian of Muhammad from his eighth year. Abu Talib went on to protect and serve the Messenger of Allah, defending him and honoring him throughout the testing times of his Prophethood, until the last breath of his life.


3- Prophet Muhammad's  Adulthood:

Muhammad grew up to become a fine young man. He became known for his excellent manners, and because of the honesty in his conduct and dealings he was referred to as "alSaadiq" (The Truthful One) and  "al-Amin" (The Trustworthy One). As a youngster Muhammad used to accompany his uncle on his business trips to Syria.  When the Messenger of Allah reached the age of twelve he journeyed with his uncle Abu Talib as far as "Busra". There he was seen by a Christian monk named "Georges" who recognised him by his description. He took his hand and said: ‘This is the chief of the Worlds, God will send him as a mercy to the Worlds.’ Abu Talib said: ‘How do you know this?’ He said: ‘We find mention of him in our books.’ He asked Abu Talib to take him back fearing for his safety. 

As an adult, Muhammad worked as a trader between the cities of Mecca and Damascus, and earned a great reputation in the process.  Having heard of the reputation of Muhammad, Lady Khadijah, one of the noblest of the Quraysh, on one occasion commissioned him to take charge of some of her trading business between the two cities.  Lady Khadijah sent one of her servants, Maysarah, along with him to keep an eye on him and report back to her.  Having seen his performance in the business, and the returns he had produced as well as his honesty, Lady Khadijah put Muhammad in charge of her business.  Although she had many proposals of marriage from various dignitaries of the Quraysh, Lady Khadijah declined them all. It is reported that it was Lady Khadijah who, albeit indirectly and discreetly, made the marriage proposal to Muhammad. Some historians have reported that when they married in 595CE they were both 25.

Lady Khadijah gave birth to three children. All of the Prophet’s children were from Khadijah except Ibrahim who was from Mary the Copt, who was born in Medina and lived for a year and ten months. The male children who were all born in Mecca were; al-Qasim which is where Muhammad’s epithet (Abul-Qasim; meaning Qasim’s father) comes from, and Abdullah.   The boys all died young during the lifetime of the Prophet.  His only daughter was Fatimah, who married Imam Ali son of Abu Talib, and bore him Imam Hasan and Imam Husayn, Zaynab and Omm Kolthuom, and another son who was named Mohsen by the Prophet before his birth. Fatimah was the only one of the siblings to survive the Messenger of Allah. 

The Prophet Muhammad used to say : " Hasan and Husayn are two Imams (leaders) whether they rise up (against tyranny) or not ".
