Aminah bint Wahb was the mother of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. She belonged to the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe in Mecca. Aminah was known for her noble lineage and was married to Abdullah, who passed away before Muhammad was born. Aminah raised Muhammad after his birth in 570 CE, nurturing him until he was six years old. After her death, Muhammad was cared for by his grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, and later by his uncle, Abu Talib. Aminah's early influence played a significant role in shaping Muhammad's character and values.
