Erikson, a developmental psychologist, had established stages that explained psychosocial behaviors respective to age groups. In considering the significance of each stage to Erikson’s theory, trust vs. mistrust plays a key role in Muhammad’s development. Trust vs mistrust is centered around infants to eighteen-month old toddlers gaining trust by the care of the caretaker. This trust relies heavily on the caretaker providing basic needs for their survival. His theory explains that if these basic needs are not met, the infant will not develop trust and present anxious behavior. This data is supplemented by Bowlby’s attachment theory, which expresses insecure attachment in infancy causes increased behavioral problems later in development (Carlson, 1998). By experiencing an unsafe environment as an infant, Erikson believed that the infant would grow up untrustworthy of others. Muhammad was faced with adversity as an infant. The adversity presented in his life challenged his personal and spiritual self-development. Other aspects such as geographic, economic, and familial conditions contributed to Muhammad ability to achieve success by handling cultural difficulties in the psychosocial realm. Ultimately, these adverse experiences in the trust vs mistrust stage effectively influenced Muhammad’s choice to become a recognized prophet.
Muhammad was conceived by Abdallah and Aminah around 570 C.E. Abdallah, Muhammad’s father, had a shining light between his eyes, which was portrayed
Trust is important in a relationship between a parent and child, because if the child cannot trust the parent, the child grows up with no understanding of trust. If a child needs to talk with a parent about something private with whom are they supposed to talk? Or what if a child needs to talk with a parent about puberty problem? In the book, we see an example of a child who doesnt trust her father because she found out that his father have been lying to her. Some children trust more in the mother than father because a mother is more kind and reasonable, also because the mother will know more about the need of a child.
His life seemed like that of a typical boy living a rural life in Southern Sudan. He was grateful for the opportunity to go to school, but he relished the time he had spent with his brothers and friends herding his father’s cattle, and the warmth and love he experienced from his mother at home. However, the carefree, innocent childhood
In the city of Mecca, a man started a new religion known as Islam. This man was Muhammad who was born in about 570 C.E. While going to pray in a cave in the mountains of Mecca, an angel named Gabriel visited Muhammad. Gabriel proclaimed that Muhammad was a prophet, messenger of God. As he received messages from God, Muhammad began to teach and recite them to others. Over time, Islam attracted new followers through military conquest, trade, and the appeal of message, which contributed to the rapid spread of Islam.
mistrust is that while a child is in its young ages from birth to even two years old they are developing their sense of trust with the world and their caregivers. Once this initial sense of trust is established it is long lasting and often sticks with them for the entirety of their lives. This is shown brilliantly in the first novel. Dave’s terrible abuse did not start until he was four years old, so his initial sense was to trust. Even though his mother did terrible things to her he always had an underlining trust for her.
In 570, near the town of Mecca, Muhammad was born. By the time Muhammad was in his late 40’s he went on a spiritual journey. During this journey he claimed that an angel named Gabriel spoke and told him to recite his words. Muhammad recited the words and a new religion was born; Islam. The new religion flourished and spread drastically.
His first revelation was in 610 AD. On a night where he was in a cave near Mecca, the angel Gabriel came to him. He demanded Muhammad to read something. What he read eventually became a part of the Qur’an. From then on, Muhammad was the messenger of Allah.
After an examination of Erik Erikson and Daniel Levinson’s theories at first sight not much is alike, since the stages both differ, but digging deeper in Erikson's and Levinson’s theories have similar ideas in social development; after all, these two studies differ in the outcome. Erik erikson's theories have a greater underlining on child-adolescent development, he believes that early development of a child is the foundation and is the greatest impact on a person's identity and personality later on in life. Erikson presents the stages from childhood to adulthood, but in his theory the only significant development is during childhood, which is the problem, since an individual goes through life experiences throughout life they may have a great impact as an adult too. On the other hand Daniel Levinson’s theory signifies changes throughout all of life's experiences, from childhood to adulthood and continuing. Levinson’s theory believes that we adapt ad we let go of certain things as we move on in life and move from one stage to another.
There are four types of development, physical, cognitive, emotional, and social. Physical development is the growth of gross and fine motor, skills.

Failure to develop trust will result in fear and belief that the world is unpredictable and inconsistent. Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (toddlerhood): Following infants’ understanding of a predictable environment, toddlers are starting to realize if they can depend on others.

Muhammad saw a vision and believed it was a message from God. He was a trader which led to him traveling a lot and came into contacts with Judaism and Christianity. When Muhammad died there was confusion about who was the true heir. Eventually it split into two sects, the Shia and the Sunni. Mecca was the birthplace of Muhammad, Mecca
Babies are born with an innate ability to learn and their brain to develop after birth. The neural pathways of a human’s brain are built based on their early experience in the world. A baby’s world is based on how they are treated by people in it therefore if the environment is scary then the baby will be reluctant to explore, as demonstrated n Bowlby’s and Ainsworth’s attachment theory. The brain and body become wired enough to understand what is safe and what should be feared. The birth to 3 years of a child’s life is a critical period for the brain during child development and any deprivation during this will result in persistent deficits in cognitive, emotional and even physical health.
When Muhammad did not respond again, the angel choked Muhammad until he agreed to recite. This event was the beginning of Muhammad’s life as the “Seal of the Prophets” to the Meccans and later to
Everything a child touches need to put in his or her mouth. Freud believes children do this because it gives them pleasure. However, Erikson’s Trust versus Mistrust is the first stage during a child’s infancy. A child depends completely on caregivers for basic needs such as food, comfort and warmth.
The rise of Islam is directly linked to Prophet Muhammad. Muslims believe he was the last in a very long line of prophets that taking in account of Moses and Jesus. As a result, Muhammad was the chosen receiver and deliverer of the word of God through the divine revelations. Muslims from all walks of life made serious effort to follow his example. After the holy Qur'an, the proverbs of the Prophet and descriptions of life were important Muslim texts.
