How did Allah commemorate the day of the Prophet’s Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallimbirth?
1. He made the Ka’abah lean in prostration towards the place of the noble birth.
2. Allah caused the idols to fall down.
3. He extinguished the fires of Persia.
4. Only male children were born on that day.
5. The skies were illuminated.
6. Paradise was further decorated on this occasion.
7. Allah removed drought from Makkah, turned the earth green and made the trees bear fruit, and blessings came to the Quraish from every direction
8. Allah stopped sending down torments.
9. He sent down the maidens of Paradise to give company to Sayyida Amina.
10. He sent down Angel Gibreel to carry the Beloved Prophet, and announce his birth all over the world.
Based on these few things alone we see the day of the birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad is the most auspicious day of all days. Those who oppose this are rejecting clear ayaah and hadith yet they themselves commemorate certain days as being of merit, just not the day that the Holy Prophet Muhammad was sent to this world. The Mawlid un Nabiyy or the Birth of the Holy Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa sallim is not so much a birthday celebration. It is a day wherein the believers remember the favors of Allahu ta ‘ala on them and commemorate the sending down of the Savior of all the Worlds Rahmatulil Aalameen Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. A day wherein the believers come together to remember his sayings, his actions and his deeds, his teachings, his guidance and mercy Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim.
On this day the believers listen to the recitation of Holy Qur’an Majid, here discourses about the life and mission of the Holy Last Messenger Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim and recite abundant salawaat and salaams on the Holy Last messenger Sall Allahu ‘alaihi wa Aalihi wa Sallim. We also recite Islamic poetry [Madih] just as several eminent companions such as Sayyidinaa Hassan bin Thabit did for the Prophet Muhammad both in his blessed presence and on other occasions.
