The Life of Muhammad(peace be upon him)Muhammad(pbuh) was born with no silver spoon in his mouth.His life began with infinitesimal support.His father had died before he was born.His mother dies by the time he was six years old.He was doubly orphaned at this tender age, his grandfather Abdul Muttalib took charge of him, but he too died within three years.As soon as he was able, Muhammad(pbuh) began to look after his uncle's sheep and goats.Contrast this poor, double orphaned Arab child with no formal education (God calls him "The Unlettered Prophet" in the Qur'an) with some of the great religious personalities that preceeded him, and you must marvel at what destiny had in store for him!
Muhammad(pbuh) had no bread nor meat to offer; no sugar plums of any kind, in this world or the next! The only thing he could offer his bedraggled, poor shepherd people was trial and tribulations and the strait-jacketing of their lives on earth and the good pleasures of God in the HereAfter.His life was an open book before them.The nobility of his character, his integrity of purpose, his earnestness and fiery enthusiasm for the truth he had come to preach revealed the hero and they followed him.
The Holy Qur'an says- And We sent thee not (O Muhammad), but as a mercy unto all the worlds. Chapter 21:107
