Muhammad was born in Makkah in the so-called first year. He was raised in a Bani Hashim family and lost his parents at an early age. He received his upbringing from his family and was trusted in society. Prior to his mission, he was called ʿAlīman al-ʿAsidīq, meaning the faithful. Muhammad lived in a society filled with evil. He enlightened society with honesty. Learning from life before the Prophet teaches us about patience.
