Book Name:Faizan e Rabi Ul Awwal
of Eids arrived for the devotees of the Prophet; which is more superior than even Shab-e-Qadr.
The well-known Muhaddis, Shaykh Abdul Haq Muhaddis-e-Dehlawi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه states: Indeed, the night on which the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born is superior to Shab-e-Qadr, because the night of Mawlid is when the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم graced this world, whereas Shab-e-Qadr is a night that was granted to the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Thus, the night which achieved honour due to the arrival of the blessed being of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is more superior and honourable than the night which is honourable due to the descending of angels.

Dear Islamic brothers! No doubt, we have no guarantee of our breaths; we do not know when these breaths and along with it, our time for performing deeds will come to an end. We should not waste any opportunity for performing good deeds. With the mercy and grace of Allah Almighty, we have once again been honoured to witness the month of Rabi’-ul-Awwal, therefore, we should realise the value of each day of this month and perform good deeds in abundance. Earn the pleasure of Allah Almighty and become worthy of receiving Divine Mercy. With the intention of presenting the
