- This was a normal practice.
- Two months after the death of Muhammad father(Abd Allah), in 570 AD, Muhammad was born.
- As was tradition among all the great families at the time, Aminah sent Muhammad into the desert as a baby. The practice at that time was that in the desert, one would learn self-discipline, nobility, and freedom. This also gave Muhammad the chance to learn Arabic and Arab traditions.
- During this time, Muhammad was nursed by Halimah bint Abi Dhuayb, a poor Bedouin woman from the tribe of Banu Sa'ad, a branch of the HawÄzin, who would be with him during his time in the desert.
- When Muhammad was two years old he was reunited with Aminah. After 3 years when Muhammad was 5 years old, Aminah took him to Yathrib (Madinah) to meet his extended family and introduce him to the city. They ended up spending one month in Yathrib. However, after having traveled only 23 miles from Yathrib towards Mecca accompanied by her slave Umm 'AimÄn al Barakah, Aminah fell ill and eventually died 577 AD[6] and was buried in the village of Abwa'.
