Abdul Muttalib had been very sad at the death of his
son, Abdullah. He had loved Abdullah more than any of his other sons. Abdullah
had recently passed away whilst returning from a trade journey. This was near
Yathrib (later known as Madina) and he was buried there. What saddened Abdul
Muttalib more was that Abdullah had passed away so shortly after his marriage
to the lady Amina. It was a great match and everyone in Makkah had been
overjoyed with this wonderful union.
Amina was very sad by the sudden death of her husband.
She didn’t want Abdullah to go on this trade journey in the first place.
Instead, she wanted to spend some time with her new husband whom she loved
dearly.
From all this sadness there suddenly came the sounds of
celebration coming from Amina’s house. People rushed to find Abdul Muttalib to
give him the good news but he could not be seen anywhere. They knew the best
place to find him would be at the Ka'bah so they rushed there.
When they finally met Abdul Muttalib they gave
him the good news of the birth of his grandson. Abdul Muttalib was overjoyed at
this wonderful news and thanked Allah for this blessing and happiness. Little
did Abdul Muttalib know that this child would become the greatest person to walk
on the face of this Earth. This child grew up to become our Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh), the last and final messenger of Allah.
