Noble birth and pure lineage

‘Abdullah and Aminah:-

Abdu'l-Muttalib, chief of the Quraysh, had ten sons. 'Abdullah, the tenth, was the noblest and his father married him to Aminah, daughter of Wahb, leader of the Banu Zuhrah. At that time, her lineage and position made her the best woman in the Quraysh.

However before long 'Abdullah died, leaving a pregnant wife who was to become the mother of the Messenger of Allah. Aminah saw many signs and indications that her son would become an important figure in the' future.

Noble birth and pure lineage:-

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) was born on Monday, 12 Rabi' al-Awwal, in the  Year of the Elephant (57O C.E.). It was the happiest day ever. His ancestry can be traced back to the Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

His full name is Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah ibn

'Abdu'l-Muttalib ibn Hashim ibn 'Abd Manaf ibn Qusayy

ibn Kilab ibn Murrah ibn Ka'b ibn Lu'ayy ibn Ghalib ibn

Fihr ibn Malik ibn an-Nadr ibn Kinanah ibn Khuzaymah

ibn Mudrikah ibn Ilyas ibn Mudar ibn Nizar ibn Ma'add

ibn 'Adnan. The lineage of 'Adnan goes back to the Prophet Isma'il, the son of the Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon both of them).

The Prophet's mother sent a message to his grandfather, 'Abdu'l-Muttalib, telling him that she had given birth to a boy. He came and looked at the baby lovingly. Then he picked him up and took him into the Ka'bah. He praised Allah and prayed for his grandson whom he named Muhammad. The Arabs were not familiar with this name and were surprised by it.
