‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Abd al-Muṭṭalib (Arabic: عبدالله بن عبد المطلب‎‎)‎ (545-570) was the father of Muhammad, a prophet of Islam. He was the son of Shaiba ibn Hashim (`Abd al-Muttalib), and was married to Aminah bint Wahab. He died on a caravan trip between Medina and Mecca.

He was famed for his beauty.^{[citation needed]} His name included the word Allah before Islam was founded. During the period before Islam, pagan Arabs called God as Allah in Arabic (and in Aramaic).

His full lineage is:

'''عبدالله بن عبد المطلب ابن هاشم بن عبد مناف بن قصي بن كلاب بن مرة بن كعب بن لؤي بن غالب ابن فهر بن مالك بن النضر بن كنانة بن خزيمة بن مدركة بن الياس بن مضر بن نزار بن معد بن عدنان'''

In Latin script, 'Abdullah ibn 'Abdul Muttalib (Shaiba) ibn Hashim (Amr) ibn Abd Manaf (al-Mughira) ibn Qusai (Zaid) ibn Kilab ibn Murra ibn Ka`b ibn Lu'ay ibn Ghalib ibn Fahr (Quraish) ibn Malik ibn an-Nadr (Qais) ibn Kinana ibn Khuzaimah ibn Mudrikah (Amir) ibn Ilyas ibn Mudar ibn Nizar ibn Ma`ad ibn Adnan.
