LIFE OF MUHAMMED (SAW)-Part 3





Life of Muhammad(SAW) 

Choosing a profession-

Nabi (PBUH) had lost his parents and his grandfather at an early age and he was under the care of his Uncle Abu Talib. He did not have any inheritance. First he worked as a sheperd.

He was noted for his trustworthiness, honesty and piety, he came to be called "Al Ameen".

Journey to Syria-

Muhammad(PBUH) trustworthiness and reputation led Khadijah Bint Khuwaylid to entrust him with her merchandise to sell in Syria. As she was a wealthy businesswoman from a noble family of the Quraysh, she would hire men to conduct business on her behalf. Muhammed(PBUH) journeyed to Syria with her slave Maysarah. The trip was extremely successful and profitable, and upon his return to Makkah, Muhammad (PBUH) gave Khadijah(Ra) her profit.


Marriage to Khadijah-

Khadijah(Ra) was twice widowed.She had a son. Now being impressed by Maysarah s description of Muhammad(SAW) she send a proposal to him (SAW) through her friend, Nafeesa.

Muhammad(SAW) consulted his uncles and their marriage was fixed. Muhammad(SAW) gave 20 camels as dowry. Praising and glorifying Allah,Abu Talib recited the wedding sermon and formalized the union.He was 25 and she was 28 or 40.

Khadijah(Ra) was Muhammad(SAW) s first wife.He did not marry anyone else during her lifetime.She bore all his children except Ibraheem ,who was born to Mariya Qibtiya. 

His children were Qasim,Zaynab,Ruqayyah,Umm Kulthoom,Fatimah,Abdullah and Ibraheem.His sons passed away during childhood,but all the daughters lived to see their father becoming a Prophet.Each daughter embraced Islam and migrated to Madinah.

Prelude to Prophethood-

When Muhammad(SAW) reached 40 years he started experiencing portents of prophethood.He would have visions and whatever appeared in his visions and dreams would come true.

To be continued, In sha Allah

                        Middle age crisis - Middle age is the time when you are almost settled in life, basically it is the time from your youth to old age. But you start getting feelings of regret,your self confidence is affected and you may feel less valued Both men and women go through this,but studies show that women face more issues,be it psychological or physical.It is the reproductive period of a woman 's life,where she may experience perimenopausal symptoms, sometimes irritability,fatigue etc.It is also a time when your children are either growing up,grown up and your parents are ageing.Hence it is the peak time of responsibilities.

 I was thinking 🤔 of the topic for my next blog when I thought it should be about children. Children are a trust(Amanah) placed on us by our Lord and given to us for a destined time.Nobody gets to choose parents.All babies are born with Fitrah(natural inclination),pure.Then it is the family ofcourse who bring up their children with certain values,morals etc. We live in a world where some have children and some don't ,that again is ofcourse the will of God. Babyhood-A child is born.He/she is given a name and cared for as they are completely dependent.Slowly they start to smile,recognize and explore the world around them.
