In this third episode of Pearls from the Seerah, we begin the story of the blessed birth and early childhood of the greatest man to ever live — Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. This class covers the events surrounding his birth in the Year of the Elephant, the authentic and weak narrations connected to his birth, the love of his grandfather Abdul Muttalib, his time with Halimah As-Sa’diyyah, the blessings that came through him, and the miraculous opening of his chest.
