`abdullah ibn `abd al muttalib was a handsome young man admired by the unmarried women of his town. they were fascinated by the story of ransom and the hundred camels which the god hubal insisted on receiving in his stead. but fate had already prepared `abdullah for the noblest fatherhood that history had known, just as it had prepared aminah, daughter of wahb, to be mother to the son of `abdullah. the couple were married and, a few months after their marriage, `abdullah passed away. none could ransom him from this later fate. aminah survived him, gave birth to muhammad, and joined her husband while muhammad was still an infant.

following is a geneological tree of the prophet with approximate birth dates.
