Mohammad (SAW)

Mohammad (saw) was born on Monday April 571 in Mecca. Arabs used to gave their new born babies to fosters. they wanted their new born babies to be far from town diseases and grow in a calm place. Mohammad (saw) was given to Halima (his foster) to be taken care of. after taking care of Mohammad and seeing his blessings for two years, Halima insisted to extend the amount of time and keep Mohammad (saw) for two or three more years. Mohammad (saw) was with Halima till the incident of Shaq-u-ssader. After that incident Mohammad (saw) was returned to his mother Amena. Amena toke Mohammad (saw) to a 500 km trip to his fathers shrine. On the way back Amena got sick and died in a place between Mecca and Madina called Abwa. Abdul Mutalib his grand father toke him back to Mecca and was taking care of Mohammad (saw) till he died while Mohammad (saw) was only 8 years old. after Abdul Mutalibs death Abu Talib, Mohammad (saw) uncle toke him and supported him all his life.Mohammad (saw) was granted prophecy when he was 40 years old. the first time angel of revelation came to Mohammad (saw) was when he was in "Ghar Hera".after instructing all the Muslims to the right path and completing his holly mission Mohammad (saw) left this world and joined the permanent life. people were all sad. their eyes were full of tears and their hearts were full of sorrows. some of them were not ready to accept that Mohammad (saw) is not among them no more. till Abubakr came to mosque and addressed Muslims: Those who worship Mohammad (saw), know that Mohammad (saw) is dead. those who worship Allah, know that Allah is always alive and will never die. He continued his speech by reading a verse from holly Quran: Mohammad (saw) is nothing more than a messenger like those messengers who were before him and died.so, if he dies or been killed, will you (all) return to your first state (ignorance state)? those who return, it never harms Allah (your return). and Allah will soon reward those who are thanks-full. Aal Imran:44.
Ibn Abas says: when Abubakr read this verse people noticed the importance of the verse and accepted that Mohammad saw is really not among them after this in this life. and they were repeating and repeating the verse.
