Rasulullah's (ﷺ) blessed name is Muhammad (SAW). His father's name is ‘Abdullah, who is the son of ‘Abdul Muttalib, who is the son of Hashim, who is the son of ‘Abd Manaf. His mother's name is ‘Aminah, who is the daughter of Wahb, who is the son of ‘Abd Manaf, who is the son of Zuhrah. This ‘Abd Manaf is not the same as the previous one. He was born on a Monday in the month of Rabi‘al-Awwal in the same year (historians have written that this incident took place on the 20th of April 571 C.E., however not sure) that a kafir king (by the name of Abrahah) invaded Makkah on an elephant and tried to destroy the Ka’bah. When he was five years and two days old, his foster mother (her name is Halimah Sadiyyah) handed him over to his actual mother. When he was six years old, his mother took him to the tribe of his grandfather, the Banu Najjar. She remained there for one month with him. On their return, his mother passed away at a place called Abwa'. A woman by the name of Umme Ayman was also with them. She took him to Makkah. His father had passed away when his mother was still expecting him. His grandfather, ‘Abdul Muttalib, therefore took the responsibility of rearing him. On the death of his grandfather, his uncle, Abu Talib, took over this responsibility.
His uncle took him to Syria for business. On the way to Syria, a Christian scholar and mystic by the name of Buhayrah saw him and informed his uncle that he should protect him because he is a prophet. His uncle therefore took him back to Makkah. Later he went again to Syria with the goods of Khadijah (RAA). On the way, a Christian scholar and mystic by the name of Nasturah testified to his being a prophet. When he returned from Syria, Khadijah (رضي الله عنها) married him. He was 25 years old at the time while she was 40 years old.
When he was 40 years of age, he received prophethood. When he was 52 or 53 years of age, he experienced the miraj (That is, while he was fully awake, he physically ascended to the heavens and travelled therein). After receiving prophethood, he remained in Makkah for approximately 13 years. When the oppression of the kuffar of Makkah increased, he migrated to Madinah under the orders of Allah (SWT). Within two years of reaching Madinah, the decisive battle of Badr took place. Several battles took place thereafter. All the major and minor battles total were 35.
