Birth of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ

Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was born in Mecca on a Monday, the 12th of Rabi al-Awwal in the Year of the Elephant. His father Abdullah had already passed away, and he was raised first by his mother Aminah, then by his grandfather Abdul Muttalib, and finally by his uncle Abu Talib. His birth was accompanied by extraordinary signs reported in the traditions, including a light that illuminated the palaces of Syria.
