 The Holy Prophet (s.a) was born on the twelfth of the month of Rabi‘ al-Awwal, in the year of Elephant on a Friday at noon. Also it is narrated that it was at dawn forty years before his receiving Divine messages. His mother conceived with him on the days of Tashriq (11, 12, 13) of dhul Hajj near the middle Jamara (a pillar of stones) and she was in the house of ‘Abdallah ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib. She gave birth in the Sha‘b of abu Talib  in the house of Muhammad ibn Yusuf at the left far corner of the house as you would enter. al-Khayzuran made that house into a mosque and people use for prayers. After receiving Divine commands to work as the Messenger of Allah he remained in Makka for thirteen years. Thereafter he migrated to Madina wherein he lived for ten years. He passed away on Monday the twelfth of the month of Rabi‘ al-Awwal at the age of sixty three. His father ‘Abdallah ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib died in Madina among his maternal uncles when he (Muhammad) was only two months old. His mother, ’Amina daughter of Wahab ibn ‘Abd Manaf, ibn Zuhra ibn Kilab ibn Murra ibn Ka‘b ibn Luway ibn Ghalib, died when he was a boy of four years old. ‘Abd al-Muttalib died when the Holy Prophet (s.a.) was about eight years old. He married khadija when he was twenty and some years old. From Khadija before receiving the Divine commands of his children born were al-Qasim, Ruqiyya, Zaynab and ’Umm Kulthum. Of his children born after he received Divine commands were al-Tayyib, al-Tahir and Fatima . It is also narrated that after he received Divine commands no other children besides Fatima  and that al-Tayyib and al-Tahir were born before he received divine commands. Khadija  died at the time the Holy Prophet (s.a.) came out of Sha‘b of abu Talib. This was one year before his migration to Madina. Abu Talib died one year after the death of Khaija. When the Messenger of Allah lost these two people it became very difficult for him to live in Makka. He became extremely sad and complained to Jibril . Allah then sent him the message to leave the town of the unjust people because after abu Talib there is no one in Makka to support you. He was commanded to migrate.
