Highlight the difficult times in the early life of Muhammad (SAW) before his prophethood.
Explanation
He was born in 570CE. His father died before he was born. Therefore, he enjoyed the single parental care of Aminah. There was difficulty in getting a wet nurse for him as demanded by Arab custom; this was due to financial constraints. Halimah eventually accepted to nurse him on compassionate grounds. At ate three, his chest was opened up by two angels for spiritual cleansing. Muhammad got missing at the age of five(5) in Makkah and was found by Waraqah b. Nawfal. At the age of six, his mother died on her way to Yathrib. He was returned to his paternal relatives by Umjn Ayman. His poor uncle Abu Talib later took over his upbringing. He worked as a shepherd which earned him little income. He lost some his children before adulthood. His sons never reached adulthood and died as infants. The appearance of Angel Jibril unto Muhammad at Cave Hira was another terrible experience.
