On Monday morning, the 9th of
Rabi’ al-Awwal (April 22) 570 C.E.
Aminah gave birth to a baby boy. At
the time of his birth, Aminah saw
many angels who had come to
greet her baby and wish her well.
Lady Aminah sent word to her
father-in-law, ‘Abd al-Muttalib, who
was sitting near the Ka’bah as he
always did. ‘Abd al-Muttalib was the
head of the Banu Hashim family
and chief of the Quraysh tribe of
Makkah, guardian of the Ka’bah
and protector of the pilgrims who
visited this holy place .
Makkah had no king. Instead, the
tribe of Quraysh ruled Makkah. The
Quraysh tribe were constituted of
many families of which the Banu
Hashim was the most noble. The
Quraysh were all business men.
Many of them were very rich and all
the Arabs respected them.
