    The second foster mother of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was Suaiba Asslymiah. Suaiba was the maid of Abu Lahab, who was one of the uncles of the Prophet Muhammad and a loyal believer of Islam.

    Suaiba took in the young Muhammad after he returned from his fosterage with Halima Saadia. However, the arrangement was short-lived, as Suaiba husband became suspicious of the child and asked her to return him to his mother Aminah.

    It is worth noting that Suaiba brief fosterage of the Prophet Muhammad is not widely known or mentioned in Islamic sources, and her role in his upbringing was relatively minor compared to that of Halima Saadia. The focus of Islamic tradition is primarily on the relationship between the Holy Prophet and his mother Aminah, as well as his first foster mother Halima Saadia.

    The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was born in the city of Makkah, which is located in present day Saudi Arabia. It is said that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was born in a chosen place which is commonly known as “Baytullah” (the house of Allah).

    Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) date of birth is generally accepted to be Monday 12th Rabiul Awwal. Even some Islamic sects believe that 12th Rabiul Awwal is not the right date of birth. But now 12th Rabiul Awwal is celebrated across the world as Eid Milad-un-Nabi (The Prophet’s Birth). Which marks the birthday celebration of The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W).

    At the time of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) birth, there were very few people living around Makkah. But this small town became popular not only in Arabia but also globally due to its religious attachment with Islam and its deep history dating back to thousands of years before Islam.

    The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) had two foster mothers in his life. The first one was Halima Saadia, from the Banu Saad tribe, who took care of him in the early years of his life. The second one was Saubia, the maid of the Prophet Muhammad uncles brother, who briefly took care of him after his return from Halima home.

    Both of these women played a minor role in the Prophet life compared to his mother Aminah, who passed away when he was six years old, and his paternal grandfather Abdul Muttalib, who raised him after his mother’s death. However, the Prophet remained grateful to his foster mother Halima Saadia throughout his life and referred to her as his “mother” even after he became a prophet.
