Q. Which family does Hadrat Muham-mad (peace
be on him) belong to?
He belongs to the family of Quraish. This
family was the noblest of all Arab families. The members of the Quraish family
were acknowledged as leaders of all others. Again, Bani-Hashim was one of the
clans of the Quraish. It was the most respectable of all others. The Prophet
(peace be on him) comes of this clan. That is why he is also called a Hashim
(Hashimite).

him?

Muham-mad (peace be on him). His parental ancestry runs thus: Hadrat Muham-mad
(peace be on him) s/o ‘Abdul-lah s/o ‘Abdul-Mut-talib s/o Hashim s/o
‘Abd-i-Munaf.
Q. Are there any prophets other than Hadrat
Adam (peace be on him) among the ancestors of Hadrat Muham-mad (peace be on
him) ?

Isma’il s/o Hadrat Ibrahim (peace be on them). Besides these two, his
forefathers include Hadrat Idris and Hadrat Shith (peace be on him).
Q. At what age was Hadrat Muham-mad (peace
be on him) invested with Prophethood?
