Past 1500 years, our prophet Muhammad S.A.W was born in Hijaz area named Mekkah al-Mukaramah. He was the only child of Abdullah Abdul Mutalib and Siti Aminah. However, his dad passed away when he's still 2 months old in the carriage. The orphan grown up very well as he was taken care by his beloved mother, uncle and grandfather. He lost his mother at a very young age, at 6. Then, Abdul Mutalib, the ruler of Mekkah took over to look after his beloved grandson. Not to forget, Abdul Mutalib was the one who chose the name for him-Muhammad means 'yang terpuji' . After the birth of prophet Muhammad, Abdul Mutalib went to Masjidil Haram where Ka'aba is loacated. He walked around the ka'aba several times-tawaf to show his gratitude of getting a grandson. At the moment prophet Muhammad was born, there were some weird incidents happening around Mekkah. One of them are, the fire that is used to be the main ritual for kaum 'majusi' or Zoroastrianism suddenly put off by itself. Prophet Muhammad faced lots of problems and difficulties in spreading Islam. But now, muslim, people who take Islam as the religion and live based on syariah Islam, can be found all over the world. Sadly, lots of people always think that Islam is a mean religion. Their opinion about Islam always be related with terrorism. terrorism dont have any relationship with Islam. Don't be confused about that. Prophet Muhammad himself didnt allow war to spread Islam. He always stress on about our responsibilities to keep the world in peace. please dont misunderstood Islam. Malay proverb said, "tak kenal maka tak cinta" . know islam first before you critic.
