The hermit asked them where they were from and they replied Mecca, he then told them that God would send a prophet from their people. When they inquired the name of the prophet, the hermit told them he would be called Muhammad and would lead them to new life (Kalby et al 1992).

In the meantime, while saddened by the death of her husband, Aminah, felt healthy and stronger during her pregnancy. At his moment, she had dreams of many things. On one instance, it was as if a great light was coming from her and on another occasions heard a voice which told her that she would deliver a baby boy and would name her Muhammad. She did not tell any one about the voice. On the 12th day of Rabi al-Awwal, the year 570 A.D, a baby boy was born of Aminah. It's believed that when a chosen prophet is born, God (Allah) gives signs. Such signs were seen that day, for instance, a scholar from Yathrib saw a new star that had never been seen before in his studies of the stars and heavenly bodies. He called people to witness the star and told them a prophet must have been born (Kalby et al 1992).

Aminah sent news to her father in law Abd al-Muttalib, who was so much delighted and immediately started thinking of naming the grandson. No ordinary name was to be given. After six days, he dreamt of Muhammad as the name just as Aminah herself had done and so he was named Muhammad meaning the 'Praised One' (Teece 2004).

His Childhood

Just like many families at that time, Aminah sent her son to the desert in his early ages so that they could grow and develop into a healthy boy as the desert was healthier. Muhammad was taken by a Halimah, a Bedouin woman. She was not very rich and in fact that year the harvest were even worse and she could not even breast feed her own baby. Nonetheless she and her husband opted to take Muhammad since he was the only child left as no one wanted to take him since the wet nurse had to be paid by the baby's father yet Muhammad had lost his dad (Teece 2004). Halimah never wanted to pick him either but she did not want to go back without a baby.

When they reached home, Halimah noticed that a lot of things changed, the land was greener and lots of foods were harvested and she had plenty of milk from her sheep. She knew this was fortune from the new child. By the time Muhammad tuned two years, she had grown fond of him and Muhammad played with her children and would even go to take care of the sheep in the grazing fields. She had to return him and when she reached there she pleaded with Aminah to keep him a little longer which she accepted (Teece 2004). Muhammad (pbuh) Often sat alone and it's believed that at some instance two angels had washed his heart. This was to make his heart pure. Muhammad would be greater than all men ever born (a seal of prophets).

On his return, Muhammad (pbuh) was a very healthy boy, Aminah decided to take him to visit his uncles in Yathrib. He had a great time with his cousins. Unfortunately, on their way home, his mother felt ill and died. He was later taken up by his grandfather. They lived together happily until when the grandfather also felt ill and asked Abu Talib, His son to take up Muhammad (pbuh) upon his death.
