    The first foster mother of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was Halima Saadia. She was a woman from the Banu Saad tribe who had come to Mecca to find a baby to foster. That time foster children from others was cultural.

    Other women were initially hesitate to take in the orphaned baby Muhammad as he was not from a wealthy family, but Halima Saadia eventually agreed and took him to her home in the desert where he spent the first few years of his life. According to Islamic tradition, it was during the time when the Muhammad was baby and miraculously blessed by Allah, and his foster mother Halima witnessed many signs of his future greatness.

    Halima Saadia played an important role in the life of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, and he remained grateful to her throughout his life.
