Allah is the only reality and following the Sunnah is the only way.
As Salaam Alaikum Everyone,
The Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi WaSalaam) grew up as an orphan:
His father died before he was born.
It was said that it happened when his mother was two months pregnant or seven months.
His mother died when he was four years old or, it was said, when he was six years old.
His grandfather Abd al-Muttalib became his guardian, but when he was eight years old, his grandfather died, so his paternal uncle Abu Talib became his guardian.
The opening of Prophet Muhammad's (Salallahu Alaihi WaSalaam) chest. This miracle happened to the Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi WaSalaam) twice.
The first time: was in the desert of Banu Sa'd, when he was with his wet-nurse Halimah, and he was four years old.
The second time: was on the night of the Isra (Night Journey), as was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Anas ibn Malik(Radi Allahu Anhu) that Jibreel came to the Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alaihi WaSalaam) when he was playing with other children. He took hold of him and lay him down on the ground, then he opened his chest and took out his heart, then he removed a clot of blood from it and said: "This is the Shaytan's share of you. "Then he washed it from a golden bowl filled with Zamzam water, then he closed up the heart and put it back in its place.
The children came rushing to his mother -meaning his wet nurse--and said: "Muhammad has been killed!" They went to him and found that his color had turned pale. Anas said: "I used to see the marks of that stitching on his chest."
After that incident, Halimah feared for him, so she took him back to his mother, and he (Salallahu Alaihi WaSalaam) stayed with his mother until he reached the age of six years.
