![]() ![]() ![]() Although Khadijah was fifteen years older than Muhammad (S), this marriage proved to be a very happy one. So faithfully did he transact Khadijah's business, and so excellent was the report of his behavior that Khadijah soon afterwards married Muhammad (S). In his twenties, Muhammad (S) made a journey in the service of a wealthy widow named Khadijah. Abu Talib's wife, Fatima bint Asad, did all she could to substitute for the boy's mother. He loved Muhammad (S) so much that he gave him precedence over his own children. Before his death, 'Abd al-Muttalib entrusted his grandson to the care of one his sons, Abu Talib Abu Talib loved his nephew just as 'Abd al-Muttalib used to do before him. Two years after his mother's death, Muhammad was bereaved of his grandfather. His grandfather now took complete charge of his doubly orphaned grandson, and it soon became obvious that his special love for his deceased son 'Abd Allah had been transferred to 'Abd Allah's son. The Messenger of God (S) lived with his mother Amina and his grandfather 'Abd al-Muttalib When he was six years old, he lost his mother. His father 'Abd Allah died before his son's birth or a few months after it. Muhammad (S) was born in Mecca, fifty-three years before Hijra. ![]()
