Lady Aminah listened intently to the account of the opening of his chest and of Halima's fear that some bad jinn may be trying to harm him. Lady Aminah comforted her and told her that no harm would come to him because she had been told that he was destined for an important role. She also told Halima about her blessed pregnancy and of the light that had shone from her womb at conception and birth. After hearing this, Halima's heart was at peace once more and greatly relieved to know her fears for her beloved foster child were unfounded.
Lady Aminah thanked Halima for the loving care she gave her son and so it was at the age of six he returned to live with his mother in Mecca.
Settling in
The young Muhammad settled into his new lifestyle in Mecca and found he had lots of cousins, an affectionate grandfather named Abd Al Muttalib, as well as many uncles and aunts. Amongst the children Muhammad loved most were Hamza and his young sister Safiah, the children of his grandfather, Abd Al Muttalib..
The Journey to Yathrib
One day, Lady Aminah learned a caravan would soon be leaving Mecca and passing through Yathrib (Medina) on its way north and she very much wanted to take her young son to visit the tomb of his father Abdullah and visit his relatives. So together with Barakah, the young Muhammad and Abdul Muttalib they set out on their long journey.
The Holy Family stayed in Yathrib for a month and the young Muhammad met more of his cousins, the children of Adiyy. He enjoyed being with them and went kite flying and sometimes they would take him to their large well where he learned to swim. It was a happy time but the month soon passed and the caravan destined for Mecca was ready to leave, so they made their farewells and departed.
The Death of Lady Aminah
As the caravan journeyed to Mecca, Lady Aminah was taken seriously ill and never recovered. The angels took away her soul at a village called Al Abwa and it is there that she lies buried.
Barakah and Abd Al Muttalib did their best to comfort the saddened young Muhammad at the loss of his mother and together they made the heartbreaking journey to the house of his grandfather in Mecca. Abd Al Muttalib took his grandson into his own household and a very special love bonded them even more closely together.
The Love of Abd Al Muttalib
For many years Abd Al Muttalib had taken to sleeping near the Ka’bah at Hijr Ishmael, the place where he had been told in a vision to dig for the well of Zamzam many years before Abdullah, Muhammad's father was born. At Hijr Ishmael his couch would be spread out for him and more often than not it was there that one would find him.
There was an unwritten rule that no
