Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is one of the most influential figures in Islamic history. He was born in the year 570 CE in Mecca, into the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe. His father, Abdullah, passed away before he was born, and his mother, Amina, died when he was still a child. Muhammad ﷺ was then cared for by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and later by his uncle.
