‘I was raised amongst Banū Sa'd’
Tradition of the Prophet Muḥammad – peace be upon him –
Banū Sa'd was the tribe of Ḥalīmah as-Sa'diyyah, the wet-nurse of the Prophet Muḥammad – peace be upon him – who was raised in their midst in the desert tracts that lie between Makkah and the mountainous city of Ṭā'if for the first five years of his life. These years were the prophet's formative years in which his profound language and tremendous character were forged; 'And verily you are upon tremendous character.' [68/The Pen: 4]
The word 'Banū' – although often translated as 'tribe' – can also mean children. Whilst the word 'Sa'd' is usually translated as 'happiness' or 'felicity.' These two words are encapsulated by the name of our nursery; for the Prophet Muḥammad – peace be upon him – was raised amongst Banū Sa'd or Happy Children.
Recognising the need for quality nursery care that is underpinned with an Islamic ethos, a group of individuals set out to open Liverpool's first Islamic-centric nursery. In 2009 a purpose built building was purchased bringing us a step closer to our goals. In April 2013 we opened up our doors to our first intake of children.
