Mohammad, the proper name of the Arabian prophet called by Europeans Mahomet. The 

 word is derived from the root Hamada and signifies- „the Praised". Mahomet , the great 

 founder of the faith of Islam, was born in Mecca, in April, in the year 569 of the 

 Christian era. He was of the valiant and illustratious tribe of Koreish , of which there 

 were two branches, descended from twobrothers, Haschem and Abd Schems. Haschem, 

 the progenitor of Mahomet , was a great benefactor of Mecca. Mahomet was the only 

 child of Abdullah and Amina. This Abdullah was the youngest and best beloved son 

 of Abd al Muttalib , whose office it was to provide provisions and water to the pilgrims 

 who came to visit the Kabah , which was always a place of resort long before Maho- 

 met was born. Abd al Muttalib and his eldest son Harith cleared out the old well 

 Zamzam to supply water on the spot. But he had many enemies among his countrymen, 

 so that he vowed to devote to the deity his lOth son, should God bless him with so 

 many. The young Abdallah was doomed to die but was replaced by an offering of 

 100 camels. Calcutta Review No. 43 March 1851. Pages 79 and 88. Abd al Muttalib 

 was the son of Haschem who was born A. D. 461 and fulfilled with princely munifi- 

 cence the office of entertaining pilgrims to the Kabah.
