History of the Birth of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

The Prophet Muhammad SAW was born in the Year of the Elephant or 570 AD. At that time, the elephant troops led by Abraha Habasyah wanted to destroy the Kaaba on 12 Rabiul Awal. Allah SWT also sent ababil birds to fight these troops. This story is stated in the Qur'an, Surah Al-Fil, which means an army of elephants. Rasulullah was the son of Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib and Aminah bint Wahb. Abdullah was the son of the leader of the Quraish tribe who was highly respected among the population. In that year, the Prophet Muhammad SAW, who was born in Mecca, was raised as an orphan because his father died before he was born.
