Sirah of the Prophet | Session 14: The Young Prophet Under Abdulmuttalib and Abu Talib

In Session 14 of the Sirah of the Prophet ﷺ series, Imam Jihad explores the next chapter of the Prophet’s childhood after the passing of his mother, as he is cared for first by his grandfather Abdulmuttalib and then by his uncle Abu Talib. The session highlights the love, tenderness, and special attention the young Prophet ﷺ received, and how those early environments helped shape his character, confidence, and future leadership. Imam Jihad also reflects on the psychological and spiritual importance of nurturing young boys with affection, responsibility, and strong role models. Through the Prophet’s early life, the session draws lessons about community, identity formation, and how great leaders are cultivated from childhood. The session concludes with the famous story of the Prophet’s journey with Abu Talib to al-Sham and the encounter with the monk Bahira, who recognized in the young Muhammad ﷺ the signs of future prophethood. #Sirah #ProphetMuhammad #ImamJihadSaafir #IslahLA #Seerah #AbuTalib #Bahira #IslamicHistory
