Khulthoom. Fatimah died six months after the death of the 
Prophet . 
All five children mentioned above were born before the 
Prophet was appointed Allah’s messenger. 
Abdullah 
There is some difference of opinion whether Abdullah was 
born before or after the advent of Islam. He was the last of the 
Prophet’s sons born to Khadeejah , and died during childhood. 
Ibraheem 
Ibraheem was born in Madinah in Jamad Al-Awwal or Jamal 
Al-Akhir, 9 A.H. His mother was the Prophet’s maid, Mariya 
Qibtiya. On the day of his death, Shawwal 29, 10 A.H., a solar 
eclipse occurred in Madinah. The people believed that the eclipse 
was to commemorate Ibraheem’s death, but the Prophet
informed them that astronomical events were not affected by 
human affairs. Ibraheem was sixteen or eighteen months old 
when he died, and was buried in Baqi, and the Prophet said, 
“He will be nursed by one of the maids in Paradise.” 
The Prophet’s features and character 
The Prophet’s physical appearance was described in detail by 
his Companions. 
The Prophet’s face 
The Prophet’s face was fair, attractive and round. Whenever 
he was pleased, his face shone bright like the full moon, but it 
would turn crimson when he was angry. 
If sweat appeared on his face, the beads glistened like pearls, 
and the fragrance of his perspiration excelled the smell of musk. 
The Prophet’s cheeks were soft, his forehead wide, and his 
eyebrows thin and arched. His eyes were wide, with black pupils,

while the whites were mixed with crimson. He had long thick 
eyelashes. 
The bridge of the Prophet’s nose was high and shiny. His 
mouth was wide, and there were spaces between each of his teeth. 
His teeth were bright, appearing like tiny hailstones when he 
smiled, and they sparkled as he talked. 
The Prophet’s beard was black, thick and full, covering most 
of his chest. A few grey hairs showed on his ear lobes and chin.
