....Since
Amina and Abdullah, as his parents, did not have the qualifications
and abilities to educate their offspring Muhammad accordingly,
Allah Almighty removed them and took Hazrat Muhammad into his
special care.
....Hazrat Amina was buried where
she had died with the help of the people of the caravan, and Umm
Ayman took the orphan Muhammad to Mecca, embracing him on her
chest. She handed him over to his grandfather Abdulmuttalib.
....The childhood and youth of Hazrat
Muhammad passed in poverty, having lost his father before he was
even born, and his mother at the age of six. He also lost his
grandfather at the age of eight, and then went to live with his
uncle, Abū Tālib.
....When he reached the age of 25,
he had distinguished himself for his good character traits, for
his handsome face and benevolence. He married Khadija, a 40 year-old
widow, who was wealthy. .
....Now, he had a family and a wife.
They had children, and he became a father.
....Although Hazrat Muhammad was
very happy in terms of his physical and emotional needs, he was
not satisfied as far as his spiritual needs were concerned.
....It was because his heart, inflamed
by the love of God, could not be satisfied with anything other
than Allah Almighty!
....Although he was not yet a prophet,
he was at the station of irhasāt, which is well above the station
of miracles. When he was alone, angels, trees and stones used
to greet him.
