Prophet Mohammad

{"content": [{"text": "In their courses of Islamic studies, kids learn that in Arabia before Islam, a human’s life was of no value. The best online teachers of Islamic studies, Arabic and the Holy Quran teach their kid and adult students that when Prophet Mohammad was born, people were bought and sold like merchandise. When tribes raised each other, they used to take war captives. Such war captives were sold as slaves. The sources of power were mainly one’s family. The number of children determined their strength and influence .", "heading": "Introduction"}, {"text": "Islamic studies courses for kids and adults teach kids and adults that Prophet Mohammad’s grandfather, Abdul-Muttalib, was a man of his age and tribe. However, he didn’t have many sons. Once, an Arab bullied Abdul-Muttalib for not having many sons. This made Abdul-Muttalib vow that if Allah gave him ten sons, he would slaughter the last of them in sacrifice for Allah .", "heading": "The prophet's father and uncles"}, {"text": "Lessons of Quran, Arabic and Islamic studies for kids and adults teach that it happened that Abdul-Muttalib really begot ten sons. The last and youngest son was called Abdallah. However, Abdul-Muttalib loved Abdallah dearly. Men of knowledge suggested that Abdul-Muttalib sacrifice she-camels instead of Abdallah. They continued increasing the number of she-camels until it reached a hundred, and the dear son was saved .", "heading": "The son of the two slaughtered men"}, {"text": "Abdallah grew into a young man in Makkah. Abdul-Muttalib was a trader whose caravans went to Syria and Yemen, like the custom of the Quraysh merchants. Abdallah married his cousin Aamina and spent a few months with his new bride. However, business made the newly married groom leave his bride and travel away. Aamina was pregnant when her husband left her. Meanwhile, Abdallah died on his journey home and was buried in Madina .", "heading": "Escaped being slaughtered to die young"}, {"text": "Mohammad was born. There was the darkness of the sadness of his dead father. There was also the darkness of the age before Islam—an age of injustice, paganism and moral degradation. The prophet’s widow mother gave birth to the prophet of Allah in Makkah after his father’s death. Prophet Mohammad never said: ‘Oh my father,’ rather he always said: ‘Oh Allah, my Lord.’ .", "heading": "The light shines in the heart of darkness"}, {"text": "Being an orphan was to the credit of Prophet Mohammad. The only sources of honor and power for him were his good morals and the fact that he was the last and true prophet of Allah. Also, being an orphan was a way of honoring all orphans .", "heading": "The orphan who guided humanity"}, {"text": "It was the custom of the people of Makkah to send their children to be suckled with wet nurses who lived in the desert outside Makkah. There, kids developed sound Arabic as well as healthy bodies. It was a good chance for Prophet Mohammad as a boy to be in direct contact with the elements of nature. In the desert, everything is clear in color and meaning .", "heading": "The new born boy is sent to the desert"}]}
