used to meet everyday in the Ka3ba and
discuss politics, news and economy ofMakkah. The Prophet used to attend this
meeting with his grandfather instead of
playing with the kids of Mekkah. AbdulMutalib used to lay down his gown on the
ground and let Prophet Mohammed sit on it.
He always said This son of mine will be agreat man!. Abdul Mutalib had a feeling

When the Prophet was 8 years old his
grandfather Abudl Mutalib died and he was
orphaned for the third time. Abdul Mutalibtold his son Abu Taleb the Prophets uncle
to take care of him and his uncle treated
him as his own son. Abu Taleb had 10children so the Prophet was brought up
illiterate.
The Prophet learned many skills in his
childhood from all the jobs he had and
different events that took place
