Faizan e Rabi ul Awwal

Book Name:Faizan e Rabi ul Awwal

applies to both this world and the Hereafter. It is not restricted to the body, but also permeates the heart and soul. It is never squandered, and one earns reward for it. [1]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers! RabīꜤ al-Awwal, and especially its 12th date, is an extremely auspicious time. On that day, the darkness of polytheism and oppression was banished forever. Light and happiness spread in every direction.

Archangel Jibrīl عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلاَم planted a flag upon the roof of the KaꜤbah. The palace of Chosroes, the king of Iran, was shaken by an earthquake and had cracks appear in it. A fire stoked by the Persians in their temple for 1000 years suddenly extinguished by itself.  By the command of Allah, the doors of the skies and heaven were opened, and Satan was humiliated.

As for those who love the Prophet, the 12th of RabīꜤ al-Awwal is the biggest of Eids, which is higher in rank than even Laylat al-Qadr.

Shaykh ꜤAbd al-Ḥaqq al-Dīhlawī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states:

The night in which the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born is superior to Laylat al-Qadr. This is because the night in which the miraculous birth occurred marks the arrival of the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this world, whereas Laylat al-Qadr was a night granted to him. The night distinguished by being the night in which the Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم arrived in this world, harbours more honour than the night in which angels descend.[2]

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

O those who love Allah’s Messenger! Staying within the bounds of Islamic law,
