The early life of Muhammad (s) and the role of Halima - Qazwini
During the era of the early life of the Prophet (s), it was customary for Arabs to send their children to the desert with a woman who breastfeeds them. This was mainly due to reasons that the atmosphere of the desert was purer than that of a city. Also, in the deserts only Arab people resided, so children growing up in such surroundings would acquire the language of Arabic perfectly. Halima, the wet-nurse of the Prophet (s), had grown attached to the Prophet. A child was usually taken by a wet-nurse for 2 years so that she could breastfeed him or her, however due to the love Halima had for Muhammad, amongst other reasons, Muhammad spent the first five years of his life in the desert with Halima.#Hawza #Seminary #Alhujjah #islam #shia #Qazwini
