MAULOOD-UN-NABI THE BIRTH OF THE BELOVED RASOOL IS THE GREATEST BLESSING TO MANKIND
Muslims should thank Almighty Allah day and night, for blessing us with this great opportunity of being in the Ummat of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
There is no doubt that the Holy Prophet Muhammad Mustafa Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is the greatest and most exalted in Allah’s reaction.
Almighty Allah blessed the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallamwith being Habeebullah (The Beloved of Allah).
Almighty Allah granted him the excellence that none has been given and none shall ever be granted. Allah bestowed him with the most exalted and unique of all attributes. The Beloved Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam has been granted the position of closeness to Almighty Allah.
Everything that Allah bestows upon us is through the blessings of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
We have no doubt in our minds that the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is the Noor of Allah. The very first thing that Almighty Allah created is the Noor of Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Allah ta Aala says in the Holy Quran, “Verily came towards you from Allah, a Light, and a bright book”.
The learned scholars have unanimously agreed that the Book being referred to is the Holy Quran and the Light that is being referred to is the Noor-e-Muhammadi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Almighty Allah placed this Noor in the forehead of Hazrat Adam Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and commanded the Angels to make Sajdah to him. All accepted his command except Shaitaan and thus became cursed.
Muslims in every era have always thanked Allah Almighty for sending Rasoolullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam towards mankind, and in doing so, they have commemorated the Meelad-un-Nabi (Birth Celebration) of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.
Almighty Allah states in the Holy Quran, “And remind them of the days of Allah.” Concerning this Verse of the Holy Quran, the commentators have mentioned “The days of Allah” refer to those days in which Almighty Allah has bestowed His favors onto the believers.
From this, it is obvious that the Meelad of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is from amongst “The Days of Allah” and Allah commands concerning his days that, “And remind them of the days
of Allah.”
One of the best and most appropriate ways of remembering the birth of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is to celebrate the Meeladun-Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam which Alhamdulillah is a practice amongst a majority of the Muslims throughout the world.
Celebrating the Meelad-un-Nabi, causes one to attain closeness to Allah and His Rasool Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. Muslims throughout the globe should strive to commemorate the Maulood.
