Muhammad was born in 570 CE in Mecca, in present-day Saudi Arabia.¹⁾

His father, Abdullah, died before his birth, and his mother, Amina, passed away when he was six years old.²⁾

After his mother's death, Muhammad was raised by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and later by his uncle, Abu Talib.³⁾

He worked as a shepherd in his youth and later as a merchant, gaining a reputation for honesty.⁴⁾

He was known as “Al-Amin,” meaning “the Trustworthy,” for his integrity and reliability.⁵⁾

Muhammad married Khadijah, a wealthy widow 15 years his senior, at the age of 25.⁶⁾

Khadijah was Muhammad's first and only wife for 25 years until her death, and she was the first person to convert to Islam.⁷⁾

Muhammad and Khadijah had six children, including four daughters and two sons, both of whom died young.⁸⁾
