Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is also necessary. Usually, in all Islamic gatherings, the Zikr of Beloved Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is done, but especially in Ijtima-e-Milad, Zikr-e-Khayr of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is also done;  the glory and dignity of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is mentioned; the amazing incidents of the blessed life history of our Beloved Prophet        صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم are told, therefore to celebrate Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi is also a form of reverence for Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Ruh-ul-Bayan, vol. 9, pp. 56)

Imam Jalaluddin Suyuti Shaafi’i رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Celebrating Milad-e-Mustafa صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is showing reverence for the status of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. (Al-Haawi lil-Fatawa, vol. 1, pp. 222)

Similarly, Muhammad Bin Yusuf Saalihi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: Celebrating Milad brings about his love and reverence. (Subul-ul-Huda, vol. 1, pp. 365)

We are fortunate that very soon اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, we shall enter the blessed month of Rabi’-ul-Awwal. As this blessed month arrives, lovers of the Beloved Rasool rejoice and busy themselves in preparing for Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi. And why should it not be done, as upon the arrival of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم the whole universe felt pleased; the ‘Arsh rejoiced; the Kursi also marched happily and jinns were stopped to go to the sky, they started saying to each other: Undoubtedly we had to take great pains in our way and angels started glorifications with extreme pleasure and awe; the winds began blowing in ecstasy and exposed the clouds; twigs in the orchards started bowing and the voice of ‘اَهۡلًا وَّ سَهۡلًا مَرۡحَبَا’ started coming from every corner of the universe. (Ar-Raud-ul-Faaiq, pp. 243)

In short, the arrival of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is the complete source of mercies and blessings. The incident of the death of the people who came on elephants (Ashaab-ul-Feel), the extinguishing of the fire in a moment burnt by the fire worshippers of Persia for 1000 years, the earthquake of the palace of Kisra and the demolition of its 14 spikes, the sudden drying up of Buhayra Saawah’ (which was six miles long and six miles wide) in the middle
