12 rabi awal
(Ayesha Zulfiqar, kohat,pakistan)
Rabi' al-awwal is the third
month in the Islamic calendar. During this month, Muslims around the world
celebrate Mawlid - the birthday of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. Sunni Muslims
believe the exact date of birth of Muhammad to have been on the twelfth of this
month, whereas Shi'a Muslims believe him to have been born on the dawn of the
seventeenth day. The name Rabī‘ Al-awwal means the first [month] or beginning of
spring, referring to its position in the pee-Islamic Arabian calendar. Hence
this is considered to be a very blessed month........................
Its is the day when our prophet Muhammad sallahu ale wasalam was born.so this is
the month of reciting daroood shareef on Rasoolullah.
Love for Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) is what differentiates the believers in the
perfection of their Iman (faith). In an authentic hadith related in Bukhari and
Muslim, the Prophet (pbuh) said: “None of you believes until he loves me more
than he loves his children, his parents, and all people.” In another hadith in
Bukhari he said: “None of you believes until he loves me more than he loves
himself” and Sayyidina `Umar said: “O Prophet, I love you more than myself.”
