Q: Describe the events from the birth of the Prophet(SAW) from the birth till the 1 revelation ?《10》

Ans:  The prophet was born in Makkah in the year of elephants . Before his birth , his father died so he was an orphan.
        He was having two names as his mother named him Ahmed and his grandfather named him Mohammad .
              It was a custom that whenever a child was born , people from banu saad used to come to makkah and take all of them for upbringing.This was their source of livelihood .Hazrat Haleema tool the responsibility of Mohammad . He took care of him for five years and returned him to his real mother after the event of Shaq-us-Sadar.
                 When the prophet reached the age of 6 years , his mother decided to take her to madinah inorder to visit the grave of Abdullah.They went and the Prophet was left at a relative’s house. When they were returning, Aminah fell seriously ill and breathed her last in Al-Abwa.
           The charge was then given to Hazrat Abdul Muttalib who took care of him for two years. After his demice , the charge was handed over to Hazrat Abu Talib. He took heat care of him and used to love him alot. The Prophet stayed with him for nearly 44 years .
        When the Prophet came to practical life,he got a title of AS SADIQ AND AL AMIN . This was was because of his honesty. He was a shepherd and whatever the number of sheep’s he used to take , he used to return the exact number of sheep’s not even a single hair used to be absent.
            When the Prophet reached the age of 12 years , he decide to take his nephew for a trade journey to sham. They stayed at a Christian Monk ( Bahira) . After some discussion , he declared that he was a Prophet and therefore asked him to take him back for his safety.
           The Prophet also took part in one of the sacrilegious war . His duty were only to gather all the arrows thrown by the enemy and to handover of to his uncle.
         The holy prophet S.A.W also took part in half-ul-fuzul . It was held inorder to produce peace and justice as innocent people were getting robbed .
        Hazrat Khadija was the daughter of Khuwaild who was a famous trader . After his death , the charge of the business was handed over to Khadija. She needed a partner to help her in her business . Maisra,her slave, suggested the name of Mohammad and she appointed him. Due to his honesty , she was inspired by him so she proposed him.
       The proposal was accepted by Abu Talib . At the time of marriage,  Khadija was 40 years old and the Prophet was 25 years . The dowry of 500 darhim was set.
      At the reconstruction of the Kaabah , when the time came to fix the Blackstone, chaos started between everyone. An old Quraish settled the dispute by suggesting that whosoever will enter Kaabah first after the Dajr would have this blessed opportunity . Luckily that person was The Prophet . He settled the dispute by calling all the laeaders of the four tribess to hold the corners of the cloth and when the cloth was raised at perfect position , the Prophet placed the Blackstone with his own hands.
         The first revelation was revealed at the night of Qadr during the last ten days of Ramadan . While the Prophet was meditating , he heard a voice saying : “READ!” .To this the Prophet replied that :”I AM NOT A READER!”. That voice came for the second time : “READ!”. The Prophet replied similarly : “I AM NOT A READER” . On the 3 attempt , Hazrat Jibrael A.S hugged him so tightly that he started exhausting and then Hazrat Jones l recited Surah Alaq and then the Prophet came to know that he was chosen as a Prophet . To console him,Hazrat Khadijah took him to her cousin Waraqa bin Naufil who declared that he was a Prophet and the greatest in status of all.

Qb:Explain the significance of Hazrat Khadijah R.A ? (4)

Ans: “ When none believed me , Khadijah did. She made me a partner in her wealth”
       These are the words of the Prophet for her wife . Hazrat khadijah was the first to accept Islam and became a first Muslim . Her conversion helped greatly in the spread of Islam . Get wealth was used for the spread of Islam . She stood by the Prophet at all times. In times of trial and difficulty , the Prophet used to come to get and she used to comfort him and encourage him and used to give hope to him. The Quraysh did all they could do to stop the Prophet from preaching Islam . She faced ebormus strain during the social boycott. She breathed her last in the tenth year of Prophethood at the age of 65.
           Due to her significance , the Prophet called that year “ the year of grief” .
