00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.359
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

00:00:03.359 --> 00:00:12.859
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:00:12.859 --> 00:00:17.500
A Summary of the Prophetic biography (Seerah).

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:22.199
His uncle’s guardianship.

00:00:22.199 --> 00:00:25.289
Abu Talib.

00:00:25.289 --> 00:00:30.769
Abu Talib took over the guardianship of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:30.769 --> 00:00:35.890
At that time, the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was eight years old.

00:00:35.929 --> 00:00:40.450
He continued to provide him with guardianship, care, and protection,

00:00:40.450 --> 00:00:45.009
until the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, was sent as a prophet.

00:00:45.009 --> 00:00:47.530
He shielded him with the utmost protection,

00:00:47.530 --> 00:00:52.210
and supported him with the greatest support when Allah sent him.

00:00:52.210 --> 00:00:58.170
When the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, reached the age of twelve,

00:00:58.170 --> 00:01:01.929
his uncle Abu Talib took him out on a journey to the Levant (al-Sham).

00:01:01.969 --> 00:01:08.170
This was a testament to the complete kindness Abu Talib showed toward the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:08.170 --> 00:01:12.500
as there was no one else to look after him had he left him behind in Makkah.

00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:17.260
During this journey, a monk named Bahira saw him.

00:01:17.260 --> 00:01:20.939
He recognized him by his descriptions in the Torah and the Gospel.

00:01:20.939 --> 00:01:28.099
The signs regarding the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, became apparent to those who were with Abu Talib,

00:01:28.140 --> 00:01:32.819
which only increased Abu Talib’s attachment to him and his concern for him.

00:01:32.819 --> 00:01:38.859
Bahira instructed Abu Talib to return with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:01:38.859 --> 00:01:41.819
so that the Jews in the Levant would not see him,

00:01:41.819 --> 00:01:44.299
recognize him, and kill him.

00:01:44.299 --> 00:01:46.420
So, he returned with him to Makkah.

00:01:46.420 --> 00:01:53.049
