The AI Era – Islamic Abrahamic Wisdom is not just about machines; it is about humanity redefining its relationship with knowledge, power, and morality. While AI can revolutionize industries, it cannot replace wisdom. The timeless guidance of the Abrahamic tradition—rooted in justice, compassion, and accountability—remains the moral compass humanity needs.

 Birth and Lineage

 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was born in the  megacity ofMakkahin the time570 CE **, generally known in Arab history as the * Time of the Elephant *. This was the time when Abraha, the Abyssinian governor of Yemen, led an army with  mammoths to destroy the Kaaba, but his army was miraculously defeated by flocks of  catcalls as mentioned inSurah Al- Filof the Qur’an.

 Muhammad ﷺ was born into theBanu Hashim clan **, a  reputed branch of the Quraysh  lineage. The Quraysh were the custodians of the Kaaba,  largely influential, and known for their leadership in trade and religious affairs. His father wasAbdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib **, who tragically passed away before Muhammad ﷺ was born, making him an orphan indeed before entering the world. His  mama  wasAminah bint Wahb **, a  lady from the  lineage of Banu Zuhrah.

 The Prophet ﷺ’s lineage is pure and honored. He was a direct assignee ofProphet Ibrahim( Abraham) عليه السلامthrough his sonIsmail( Ishmael) عليه السلام **. This noble  birth gave him not only social recognition in Makkah but also a spiritual connection to the great primogenitor of deism.

 Immaturity and the Care of Halimah

 Arab custom at the time was that children from the  megacity were  transferred to live with Bedouin  lines in the desert. The desert  terrain was considered healthier, and the children could learn  chastity of language and adaptability. The  child Muhammad ﷺ was entrusted toHalimah al- Sa’diyyah **, a woman from the  lineage of Banu Sa’d.

 Halimah’s  ménage endured blessings from the moment Muhammad ﷺ entered their care. Their barren lands came  rich, their beast produced abundantly, and substance returned to their family. Halimah and her family soon realized that the child was extraordinary.

 One of the most remarkable incidents of his early nonage  passed during his stay with Halimah. The  notorious event known as theSplitting of the casket( Shaqq al- Sadr)took place when two angels appeared, opened his  casket, and purified his heart by removing a portion of it described as the" portion of Shaytan." They washed his heart with Zamzam water and restored it. Although  youthful Muhammad ﷺ survived unharmed, Halimah grew concerned and  ultimately returned him to his  mama .

 The Loss of His Parents

 After his time with Halimah, Muhammad ﷺ lived with his  mama , Aminah. When he was six times old, Aminah decided to travel with him to Yathrib(  latterly Madinah) to visit his  motherly cousins. On the way back, she fell ill and  failed at a place called Abwa. This left Muhammad ﷺ an orphan  formerly more, having lost both his parents at such a tender age.

 After the  end of his  mama , the  youthful Muhammad ﷺ was placed under the care of his  forefather,Abdul Muttalib **, who was the  reputed leader of the Quraysh. Abdul Muttalib loved Muhammad ﷺ dearly and  honored  commodity special in him. still, only two times  latterly, Abdul Muttalib also passed away.

 At the age of eight, Muhammad ﷺ came under the  custodianship of his uncle,Abu Talib **, who came his lifelong supporter. Despite being financially strained, Abu Talib treated Muhammad ﷺ with love and kindness, raising him alongside his own children.

 Youth and Early Character

 Indeed as a  youthful boy, Muhammad ﷺ displayed remarkable  rates of honesty,  responsibility, and intelligence. Unlike other children of his age, he  noway  indulged in the immoral practices common in Makkah. The Quraysh society at the time was steeped in  deification,  ethnical  battles, and social injustice, yet Muhammad ﷺ remained untouched by these influences.

 As he grew aged, he began to  help his uncle Abu Talib in trade caravans. On these  peregrinations, he earned a character for honesty and fairness. People soon began to  relate to him as“ Al- Amin ”( the Trustworthy)and“ As- Sadiq ”( the veracious) **. His character spread far beyond his clan, making him a  largely  reputed  youthful man in Makkah.

 His Work as a Shepherd and Merchant

 Like  numerous Prophets before him, including Musa( Moses) and Dawood( David), Muhammad ﷺ worked as acowgirlin his youth. This humble occupation  tutored him  tolerance, responsibility, and compassion —  rates essential for leadership.

 latterly, he took part in trade, working in the caravans of Makkah that traveled to Syria, Yemen, and other regions. His integrity and fairness in business dealings set him  piecemeal from other  merchandisers. Unlike  numerous dealers who cheated or exploited others, Muhammad ﷺ was known for giving people their due, treating  mates fairly, and avoiding deception.

WAIT:   The early life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was a  godly medication for the  topmost  charge in history — the delivery of Allah’s final communication to  humanity. From his noble lineage and miraculous birth to his parenting as an orphan, his work as a cowgirl and  trafficker, his marriage to Khadijah( RA), and his retreats in Hira, every stage of his life shaped his character and prepared him for Prophethood.

 The trip to Syria and the Encounter with Bahira the Monk

 During one of his trade  peregrinations to Syria with Abu Talib’s caravan, a Christian monk namedBahiranoticed unusual signs in the  youthful Muhammad ﷺ. Bahira observed a  pall shadowing him during the  trip and a mark between his shoulders, which he  linked as theSeal of Prophethooddescribed in earlier  Holy Writ. The monk advised Abu Talib to  cover his whoreson, as he was  fated for a great  charge.

 This  hassle  corroborated the sense of a  godly  fortune  girding Muhammad ﷺ.

 Participation in the Fijar Wars and Hilf al- Fudul

 In his teenage times, Muhammad ﷺ witnessed theFijar Wars **, a series of battles between the Quraysh and other  lines. Though still  youthful, he  supported his uncles by helping them innon-combat  places.

 More importantly, he  latterly  shared in theHilf al- Fudul( Alliance of the righteous) **, an agreement among some Quraysh clans to uphold justice and  cover the  tyrannized, anyhow of  lineage or status. Muhammad ﷺ proudly flashed back  this pact indeed after  getting a Prophet, saying that if he were invited to such an alliance in Islam, he'd reluctantly join. This event  stressed his deep sense of justice and moral courage.

 Marriage to Khadijah( RA)

 At the age of 25, Muhammad ﷺ was employed by a noble and  fat  trafficker woman,Khadijah bint Khuwaylid( RA) **, to manage her trade caravan to Syria. Impressed by his honesty, skill, and the  gains he returned, Khadijah was deeply moved by his character.

 Through  collective respect and admiration, Khadijah proposed marriage to Muhammad ﷺ. Despite being 15 times aged than him, their marriage was filled with love,  fidelity, and  collective support. Khadijah came his first and strongest supporter during his Prophethood. Together, they had several children, including Fatimah( RA), through whom the Prophet’s lineage continued.

 Retreats and Spiritual Inclination

 Indeed before his Prophethood, Muhammad ﷺ disliked the corruption,  deification, and  shafts of Makkah’s society. He'd  frequently withdraw from the  megacity to meditate and reflect in theCave of Hira **. These retreats showed his deep spiritual inclination and his hunt for  verity. Unlike his people, he  noway  worshipped  icons , drank alcohol, or engaged in immoral practices. His  chastity of heart and natural inclination toward deism prepared him for the  godly  charge ahead.
