Muhammad Mustafa (PBUH) is the last prophet in Islam. Several prophets came in the history of Islam to spread religion across the world. Under this post, we are giving you a brief summary of the lineage of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was the son of Abdullah. The grandfather of our Prophet was Abdul-Muttalib and great grandfather of Muhammad (PBUH) was Hashim and this ancestry extended the Prophet Ismael, the son of the Prophet Abraham (peace be upon them).

Allah (SWT) says:
We have sent thee not except as a mercy to all the Worlds The Holy Quran, The Prophets (21): 107
We have sent thee not except as a giver of glad tidings and a warner to all the peoples The Holy Quran, Sheba (34): 28
Muhammad (PBUH) grew up with excellent manners and a polite attitude. He was known for best conducts and this is why he was referred to as al- Sadiq (The Truthful One) and al-Amin (The Trustworthy One).
