When he was only four years old,he started going with his foster brother to feed the goats outside Makkah.When Muhammad (PBUH) was six years old,his mother,Aminah aslo died.Then after two years,when he was eight,his grandfather,who was his guardians,also died.From then on,he came-under the guardianship of his uncle,Abu Talib whose son was Ali.

The behavior of Muhammad (PBUH) was alittle different from his very early age.He detested the ways of the ignorant and Allah,The Almighty,kept him away from all evil ways and objectionable conduct.
