There\nwere a number of reasons for this tradition: First, children would grow\nstronger and healthier in desert. Second, since those who lived in deserts had\nfar less communication with foreign people, children could learn the Arabic\nlanguage purely and without foreign accents. Third, children would be protected\nfrom deadly diseases that prevailed within the cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historians believe that the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;had two\nnurses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;<em>Thuwaybah Aslamiah<\/em>: To the end of her life, she\ngained very high respect from the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and\nhis wife Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;because of nursing and breastfeeding the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP).&nbsp;The\nProphet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;was greatly grieved by her demise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;<em>Halimah Sa&#8217;diah<\/em>: The daughter of&nbsp;<em>Dhu&#8217;ayyab<\/em>,\nalong with one of her three daughters took care and nursed the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP). The\nstory that she was selected as the nurse of the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;is\nbriefly mentioned as follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four months after the birth of the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP), all\nthe nurses of&nbsp;<em>Bani Asad<\/em>&nbsp;tribe came to Mecca to breastfeed the\nProphet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP). The Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;drank\nthe milk of none but Halimah; thus she became the Prophet&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;nurse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Halimah explains that with the entrance of Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP),\nblessings showered her life such that their property and herd increased\ndaily.&nbsp; Although drought had spread throughout the deserts and cities,\nHalimah&#8217;s sheep were healthy and full of milk.&nbsp;Their shriveled trees\nprospered and grew back green leaves.&nbsp; The camels regained their milk.\nFurthermore, a number of ill people who came to their house were cured because\nof the presence of Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;stayed\nwith the Bani Asad tribe for five or six years till he grew up.&nbsp; During\nthis period, Halimah took him to visit his mother, Amena&nbsp;(PBUH), three\ntimes and the last time she did not take him back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been narrated that when the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and\nKhadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;got married, Halimah came to the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and\ncomplained about the drought. The Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;gave\nher some sheep and camels and she returned to her family. After the appointment\nof the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP), Halimah and her husband came to the\nProphet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and converted to Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>2- The adolescence period<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;reached\nthe age of six, his mother took him to&nbsp;<em>Yathrib<\/em>&nbsp;(present day\n&#8220;Medina&#8221;) so he could visit his relatives and his father&#8217;s\ngrave.&nbsp; They stayed there for one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon their return to Mecca, Lady Amena&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;passed\naway.&nbsp; After her demise&nbsp;<em>Abd al-Muttalib<\/em>&nbsp;(PBUH), the\nProphet&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;grandfather and the master of\nQuraish who had the glory of the kings and the majesty of the prophets, took\nthe responsibility of Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP).&nbsp;\nIt has been said that there was always a carpet placed near the&nbsp;<em>Kaaba<\/em>&nbsp;for\nAbd al-Muttalib&nbsp;(PBUH).&nbsp; No one else dared to sit on the carpet in respect of Abd\nal-Muttalib&nbsp;(PBUH), however when the little Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;joined\ntheir gatherings, Abd al-Muttalib&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;would\nplace him on the carpet next to himself and would say: &#8220;I swear by Allah\nthat he has a high rank.&nbsp; I seem to view a day where he will become your\nmaster.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;became\neight years old, Abd al-Muttalib&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;passed\naway as well. This incident made the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;very\nsad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that&nbsp;<em>Abu Talib<\/em>&nbsp;(PBUH), the\nProphet&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;great uncle and the master of&nbsp;<em>Quraish<\/em>,\naccepted to look after him. He, like his father, Abd al-Muttalib&nbsp;(PBUH),\nlooked after Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;carefully.\nAlthough Abu Talib&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;was not rich, he and his honorable wife&nbsp;<em>Fatimah bint\nAsad&nbsp;<\/em>(the mother of Imam Ali&nbsp;(PBUH)),\ntried their best in looking after Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His presence in his uncle&#8217;s house was not ordinary.&nbsp; Signs of\nhis greatness could be seen everywhere.&nbsp;His entrance to their house\nbrought bountiful blessings to the house of Abu Talib&nbsp;(PBUH).&nbsp;\nLady Fatimah the daughter of Asad has said, &#8220;From the moment that Prophet\nMuhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)entered our home, the tree, which had dried\nup for years, prospered and offered fruits.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abu Talib narrates that they would hear Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;praying\nat nights.&nbsp; Though it was against the custom of Arabs to remember\nAllah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;while eating, the little Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;would\nnot start eating or drinking unless reciting the name of Allah&nbsp;(SWT).&nbsp;\nHe would also end his meal by thanking Allah&nbsp;(SWT), the\nexalted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>2-1- The travel to&nbsp;<em>Shaam<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quraish&#8217;s businessmen used to go to Shaam and&nbsp;<em>Yemen<\/em>&nbsp;every\nyear.&nbsp;<em>Abu Talib<\/em>&nbsp;used to go with them from time to time.\nProphet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)attended one of these trips to Shaam with\nhis uncle when he was 12 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abu Talib was the Prophet&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;guardian\nafter the demise of Abd al-Muttalib&nbsp;(PBUH). In\nthe trip, their caravan rested in the city of &#8220;<em>Basri<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A great Christian monk named&nbsp;<em>Bohayra<\/em>&nbsp;had been\nliving in Basri for many years. Unlike every year, Bohayra came out of his\nmonastery and invited the passing caravan for a meal.&nbsp;While the others\nwere having their meal, Bohayra seemed to be seeking something. Finally, he\nfound what he was looking for in the young Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP).\nBohayra was carefully watching his actions and behaviors. After everyone\nfinished their food, Bohayra came to the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and\nasked him couple of questions from his past and other issues. Then he looked\nupon the Prophet&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;shoulder and found a speckle like he\nhad expected (which later became known as the seal of Prophethood). Bohayra\ntold Abu Talib that this young man would become a great person. He also made a\nsuggestion to Abu Talib&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;to return Prophet\nMuhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;back to his hometown in order to be\nsafe from the Jews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>3- The adulthood period<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>3-1- The youth agreement<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important aspect of Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;life\nbefore his appointment to prophecy was his enrollment in &#8220;the youth\nagreement&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All tribes in Mecca were related to each other, thus they created\ntreaties between each other to insure the security from attacks. However, for a\nstranger this was not the case. There was no one to protect a stranger if he\nhad been oppressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A man came to Mecca from another town to do some business.&nbsp;<em>Aas\nIbn Wa&#8217;el,&nbsp;<\/em>a citizen of Mecca, purchased the man&#8217;s materials and\ndidn&#8217;t pay anything in return. The man went to the tribe of Quraish and asked\nfor help, but no one helped him. As a result of this event a group of youth\nfrom Quraish gathered and agreed to stop any oppression on strangers. They\nnamed the agreement as&nbsp;<em>&#8220;Helf al-Fodul&#8221;.&nbsp;<\/em>Being one of\nthe main members of establishing this agreement, Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;joined\nthe agreement. Later on he regarded it as an excellent event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>3-2- Lady Khadijah&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><strong>(PBUH)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before discussing Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;marriage\nwith Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH), let us briefly discuss her character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She is the first woman who accepted the invitation of Prophet\nMuhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and converted to Islam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to most historians, she was 68 when Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;moved\nfrom Mecca to Medina. Her father was&nbsp;<em>Khuwaylid Ibn Asad<\/em>&nbsp;and\nher mother was&nbsp;<em>Fatimah bint Za&#8217;idah<\/em>. Lady&nbsp;<em>Khadijah&nbsp;<\/em>(PBUH)&nbsp;was\nrelated to the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;from her mother&#8217;s\nside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the researchers have said that&nbsp;<em>Fatimah\nal-Zahra&nbsp;<\/em>(PBUH)&nbsp;was her only child; however, most scholars say that she had\nother children as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lady&nbsp;<em>Khadijah<\/em>&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;was\nknown as a clever person and she had great morality. Moreover, at that time, it\nwas common amongst Arabs to disrespect women and kill their daughters. In such\na period however, Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;was\nfamous for titles such as&nbsp;<em>&#8220;the pious&#8221;<\/em>&nbsp;or &#8220;<em>the\nLady of the women of Quraish<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was one of the richest merchants of Quraish. She used to lend\nsome goods to other merchants who went to other cities such as Yemen and on\ntheir return they would share the profit of that business. Although most great\nmerchants of Quraish were willing to marry Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH), she\nchose to marry Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;who was\nfinancially in a lower class. After marriage, she devoted all her wealth in\nspreading Islam. Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;said:\n&#8220;Khadijah&#8217;s wealth was the most useful wealth I ever had.&#8221; In the 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;year\nafter Prophet&#8217;s appointment, when Muslims were surrounded in an area called\n&#8220;<em>She&#8217;eb Abu Talib<\/em>&#8220;, Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;used\nher wealth and power among Quraish to help surrounded Muslims. She spent all of\nher wealth for Muslims to the extent that before her demise, she had nothing\nleft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was one of the greatest women of the world and her rank is as\nhigh as the great Marry&nbsp;(PBUH), mother of Prophet Jesus&nbsp;(PBUH).\nProphet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;says about her: &#8220;Four\ngreatest women of the world are: Khadijah daughter Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint\nMuhammad, Mary bint&nbsp;<em>Emran<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Asyeh bint Muzahim<\/em>, the wife of&nbsp;<em>Pharaoh<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has been narrated several times that, Gabriel, the angle of\nrevelation, inspired to the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and\nbrought Allah&#8217;s&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;salute for Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and\nLady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH). This inspiration indicates the great rank of Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH),\nbecause \u2013according to the Holy Quran\u2013 Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;salutes\nto his Prophets&nbsp;(PBUT).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gabriel said: &#8220;O Muhammad! Salute to Khadijah from\nAllah&#8221;. Prophet told Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH):\n&#8220;This is Gabriel who has brought Allah&#8217;s salute and peace for you.\nKhadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;replied:\n&#8220;Allah is all peace; peace is from Allah and my salute to Gabriel.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;had a great value in the\neyes of the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;to the extent that he did not\nmarry a second woman while she was alive. The year that she passed away, was\ncoincident with the demise of Prophet&#8217;s uncle Abu Talib&nbsp;(PBUH). As a\nresult that year was called &#8220;the year of sadness.&#8221; After her demise,\nthe Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;regarded her many times as a\ngreat woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Aisha<\/em>, one of the Prophet&#8217;s wives, narrates: &#8220;The Prophet never\nleft our house unless he reminded well of Khadijah.&#8221; Aisha also narrates:\n&#8220;Whenever, Prophet Muhammad slaughtered a lamb he would say: &#8216;Send this to\nfriends of Khadijah.&#8217; Once I asked for the reason of this action and he\nreplied: &#8216;I like friends of Khadijah as well.&#8217; &#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering her high position, it might be easier to realize why\nshe gained the glory of being the Prophet&#8217;s wife and the honor of being mother\nof Fatimah al-Zahra&nbsp;(PBUH), the Lady of all women of the worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>3-3- Prophet&#8217;s marriage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><strong>(PBUH&amp;HP)<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;with\nLady Khadijah&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>(PBUH)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned in the previous part, Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;was\none of the wealthiest merchants of Quraish. She dispatched some men to\ndifferent cities to trade; afterwards, she would get her share from the profit\nof their business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;was\ninformed of Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;truthfulness,\nmoral virtues, and his trustworthiness (as he was well-known for), she offered\nhim to go to Syria for trade.&nbsp; She also gave him a larger share than the\nrest men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;accepted\nthis offer and left for Syria; he was being accompanied with&nbsp;<em>Meysara<\/em>,\nLady Khadijah&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;special servant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they arrived in Syria, Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;came\ndown in the shadow of a tree near a monastery. A monk asked Meysara: &#8220;Who\nis the man under that tree?&#8221; Meysara replied:&#8221; He is of Quraish tribe\nand from Mecca.&#8221; The monk said: &#8220;I swear to Allah that he is no one\nexcept a Prophet.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;sold\nwhat he had brought; he bought some other material and then returned to Mecca.\nIn this journey, all businessmen made profit, especially Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;who\nmade more than others. Once they returned, Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;asked\nMeysara about Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP); he\nsaid that whatever he did was orderly, logical and wise. He also narrated the\nhappenings throughout the journey and said: &#8220;When one of the traders asked\nhim to swear to&nbsp;<em>Laat<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Ozza,&nbsp;<\/em>the two famous\nidols in Mecca, he refused to do that and said: &#8216;To me, nothing is inferior\nto&nbsp;<em>Lat<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Ozza<\/em>.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;became\naware of these incidents, she sent a messenger to Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;to\nexpress her proposal for marriage.&nbsp; She wanted to marry him because of his\ndignity amongst family, truthfulness, moral virtues, and trustworthiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;was\ninformed of this issue, he sent his uncles to house of Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;to\npropose for her hand in marriage.&nbsp; In the proposal session, Abu Talib, the\nProphet&#8217;s uncle, praised Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;and\nthen spoke of the virtues of Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP). He\nproposed marriage on behalf of Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;to\nLady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH).&nbsp; Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;accepted\nthe proposal and got married to Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP).&nbsp;\nAt that time, Prophet Muhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;was\ntwenty-five years old, and according to some narrators Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;was\n40.&nbsp; Other narrators, however, record that Lady Khadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;was\nyounger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>3-4- Putting&nbsp;<em>Hajar al-Aswad<\/em>&nbsp;in its place<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important event that occurred before the Prophet&#8217;s mission\nwas the replacement of Hajar al-Aswad in its place.&nbsp; It has been recorded\nin history that even before Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;appointment\nthe house of Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;(Kaaba) was greatly revered by the Arabs.&nbsp; The\nProphet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;and some of his ancestors used to do\nrituals around the Kaaba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One year, there was a flood in Mecca which destroyed the walls of\nKaaba.&nbsp;<em>Quraish<\/em>,who took the control over this house,\ndecided to repair it. Once they built the walls, a serious dispute raised\namongst them, which was going to cause a bloody war.&nbsp; Each tribe wanted\nthe honor of putting the sacred stone of&nbsp;<em>Hajar al-Aswad<\/em>&nbsp;in its\nplace. Finally an old man who was highly respected by the Quraish tribe\nsuggested that the first man, who entered the mosque area, should become the\njudge between them.&nbsp;Everyone accepted this suggestion. Meanwhile, Prophet\nMuhammad&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)entered the mosque and the great men of\nQuraish accepted that he should be the judge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;commanded them to\nwiden a peace of cloth on the ground. Then he put&nbsp;<em>Hajar al-Aswad<\/em>&nbsp;on\nit and called the head of every tribe to take one corner of the cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When they picked up the cloth by the wall, the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;took\nthe stone and put it in its place.&nbsp;With this wise judgment he put an end\nto the probable bloody war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event shows us that although he was only 35 years old by that\ntime, the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;was greatly honored by the Quraish\nand they all agreed on the honesty and trustworthiness of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a><strong>4- The moral characteristics of the Prophet&nbsp;<\/strong><\/a><strong>(PBUH&amp;HP)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By looking at the life of the great men and their spiritual\ncharacteristics, we may know them and their distinguishing characteristics\nbetter. The study of different stages of Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;life\ncould give us a chance to know more about his moral characteristics and also\nmay help us to follow his path as an ideal human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that what we say here is a little part of his\nmoral characteristics and we will consider this case more deeply in an article\ntitled as: &#8220;Moral Characteristics of the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, his forty-year life period before the appointment was\nassociated with chastity and honesty, trustworthiness and rightness, doing good\nwith the poor and the lower, hatred towards the immoralities within the society\nalong with its custom of idol worshiping. His high moralities and generosity in\nhis behaviors gained the praise of all, to the extent that Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;praised\nhim in the Holy Quran for his high moralities. The Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;was\nnicknamed as &#8220;the trustworthy&#8221; from the beginning of his youth, thus\npeople trusted him to watch over their properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mostly everyone was against his mission as the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP), but\nno one doubted in his trustworthiness and thus he continued to secure their\nproperties.&nbsp; Despite the enmity that existed toward him in the city, no\none doubted his honesty.&nbsp;Therefore when he decided to migrate from Mecca\nto Medina, he appointed Imam Ali&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;to\npay the debts and to return the properties to their owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;never accompanied\nthe people of Mecca in their wining, dining, and unethical nightly\nparties.&nbsp;Due to the great suffer he endured in that society, he would head\ntowards the cave of Heraa to worship Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;for\nlong periods. (You may refer to the article of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.roshd.com\/eng\/beliefs\/?BEL_CODE=84\">The Appointment of the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)<\/a>&#8221;\nfor more information).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He always named Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;before\neating, and never ate meat that was not properly slaughtered. Like other\nprophets, he spent part of his youth as a shepherd.&nbsp; Being a shepherd had\ngreat impact on the prophets.&nbsp;It allowed them to separate themselves from\nthe bad deeds of the society; it taught them to endure the difficulties, and it\nincreased their faith in Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;as\nthey saw the power of Allah&nbsp;(SWT)&nbsp;and\nthe order He has arranged for nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As noted in the section &#8220;The Prophet Muhammad&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;Marriage&#8221;,\nthe Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;spent part of his youth doing\ntrade.&nbsp; It was his high moral characteristics that attracted Lady\nKhadijah&nbsp;(PBUH)&nbsp;towards himself and eventually led to their marriage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we tried to mention small portion of the Prophet&#8217;s moral\nvirtues and hopefully we will expand this issue in other articles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract This article is a continuation of the article about &#8220;The Birth of the Prophet&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP).&#8221;&nbsp;It includes important events and stages of the Prophet of Islam&#8217;s&nbsp;(PBUH&amp;HP)&nbsp;life.
