Biography of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W)

Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W)  was born On Monday 12th Rabi-ul-Awal   in the house of  Hazrat Aminah Bint Wahhab.He was born in "Makkah  Mukarma" the city of Saudi Arabia.His Father name was Abdullah son of Abdul Muttalib.Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was born in nobel family Of Banu Hashim.The childhood of Muhammad(S.A.W) was very simple.When he was born Hazrat Halima(R.A) taken Him in her village.Where He lived four years in a clean environment. when He was 6 years old His Mother passed away.After His mother passed away His Grand-Father looked after Him. after a short period of time His grand-father also passed away when He was 8 years old.After the death of His grand father His Uncle Abu-Talib looked after Him.He never waste His time playing games.He always spent His time to help others.

When He was young He was a hard-working man. He likes hard-working.He learnt business from His uncle Abu Talib.First time He went on business with His uncle and later on He start His own business. He was very honest man.Therefore people called Him as Saadiq Al Ameen. One day He meet Hazarat Khadija (R.A) for trading and Hazrat Khadija(R.A) send Him Marriage invitation in which She write that She want to marriage with Him.Then He accept Her invitation and married to Khadija (R.A). When Muhammad (s.a.w) married Khadija, there was a huge age difference on the basis that Khadija was quite older then the Prophet. At the time this marriage took place it was not even imaginable to do so. The Arabs only married with women of lesser age. But Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) broke this tradition. And well what wrong do you find in it? He never used his wife's money which is evident from the events that took place before the marriage, Khadija was so much impressed by his excellent behavior and pious trading that she became her admirer, even her best servant admired Muhammad (s.a.w). And after that Muhammad (s.a.w) didn't propose her, it was the opposite! So make correction, he didn't marry her for her money and status but she married him for something!! They both lived an excellent life as evident from his this Hadith in Sahih Bukhari narrated by Ali (r.a)

The Prophet said, "The best of the world's women is Mary (at her lifetime), and the best of the world's women is Khadija (at her lifetime)." and look what Ayesha (r.a) had to say for her:

I did not feel jealous of any of the wives of the Prophet as much as I did of Khadija (although) she died before he married me, for I often heard him mentioning her, and Allah had told him to give her the good tidings that she would have a palace of Qasab (i.e. pipes of precious stones and pearls in Paradise), and whenever he slaughtered a sheep, he would send her women-friends a good share of it.

It is also clear from the history that he continued to trade on his own during the time of his marriage with Khadija (r.a) and even after her death. When He was 40 years old He received a call from Allah. 

He was in the cave of Hiraa, when the Angel Gabriel came to Him.He did not know what kind of being this was. Gabriel came and wrapped around his chest and sqeezed Muhammad until he could not breath. Then, letting go of him, he said to him: "Read". Muhammad said: "I cannot read" (He was not literate). Again Gabriel sqeezed him. When he let go he said: "Read". Again Muhammad said "I cannot read". A third time Gabriel squeezed Muhammad and, when he let go, said "Read". Muhammad, almost in a panic, said "What should I read"? Then Gabriel recited the first verses of the Qur'an: "Read, in the Name of your Lord, who created. Created Man from a clinging clot (in the mother's womb). Read and your lord is most generous. The One who taught Man through the use of the pen - taught Man what he did not know before"..............................."

.خَلَقَ الْإِنسَانَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ.اقْرَأْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ"

It is an admitted historical fact that from amongst women Khadijah was the first to embrace Islam and there is no contradictory report on this point.
Almost all the Shi'ah and Sunni historians are unanimous that the first amongst men to embrace Islam was and so on....
Then Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) Star preaching and peoples accept islam. He faced many trouble during His preaching time.He is the last Prophet Of Allah. 

There are some battle in the time of Muhammad(S.A.W)...These are Ghazwa-e-Badar,Ghazwa -e-Uhad,Ghazwa-e-khandaq etc.What we know for sure is that day of his death was ‘Monday’, as for the date we have different narrations. The famous one is 12^th rabiulawwal.

Narrated Hisham's father: Aisha said, "I went to Abu Bakr (during his fatal illness) and he asked me, 'In how many garments was the Prophet shrouded?' She replied, 'In three Sahuliya pieces of white cloth of cotton, and there was neither a shirt nor a turban among them.' Abu Bakr further asked her, 'On which day did the Prophet die?' She replied, 'He died on Monday.' He asked, 'What is today?' She replied, 'Today is Monday.' He added, 'I hope I shall die sometime between this morning and tonight.' Then he looked at a garment that he was wearing during his illness and it had some stains of saffron. Then he said, 'Wash this garment of mine and add two more garments and shroud me in them.' I said, 'This is worn out.' He said, 'A living person has more right to wear new clothes than a dead one; the shroud is only for the body's pus.' He did not die till it was the night of Tuesday and was buried before the morning."
