In alternate books about the Prophet, much isn’t written about his mother who passed soon after his birth nor about the women who raised him. Meet a handful of the men and women that helped shape the early life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In these pages, you will find his mother, Amina bint Wahb; the women that loved and protected him like their very own, Halimah Sa’diyyah and Barakah (Umm Ayman); and his beloved grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, alongside his uncle Abu Talib.
