His Childhood

His Childhood

Two months before his birth, his father passed away, and when he was six years old, his mother also passed away. After his mother passed away, Prophet Muhammad [ sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ] was taken under the care of his grandfather, Abdulmuttalib.  

Abdulmuttalib took great care of Prophet Muhammad [ sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ]. He never left him alone and made sure he did not feel the absence of a father's love and affection. 

Before his death, Abdulmuttalib entrusted the care of eight-year-old Prophet Muhammad [ sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ] to his son, Abu Talib.  

Abu Talib loved Prophet Muhammad [ sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ] more than his own children. He believed that he was blessed and made great efforts to raise him well. 

Fatimah bint Asad ( radiyallahu anh ), whom the Prophet [ sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ] called his 'second mother,' cared for him more than her own children. 

After prophethood, Abu Talib continued to support his nephew and did everything he could to protect him.
