O devotees of the Prophet! The Noble Messenger صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم arrived in the world as an embodiment of mercy and grace, and the day in which the mercy of Allah Almighty is attained is indeed a day of happiness.

Believers, rejoice, for the king has arrived

Allah Almighty states in part 11, Surah Yunus, verse 58:

قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّٰهِ وَ بِرَحْمَتِهٖ فَبِذٰلِكَ فَلْیَفْرَحُوْاؕ-هُوَ خَیْرٌ مِّمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ(۵۸)

Say you (O Beloved), ‘Only Allah’s Bounty and His Mercy; and only upon it they should rejoice.’ That is better than all of their (accumulated) wealth.

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)](Part. 11, Surah Yunus, Verse 58)

The renowned commentator of the Qur’an, Mufti Ahmad Yar Khan Na’eemi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه writes the following under this verse: O Beloved! Give the people glad tidings and also command them to rejoice jubilantly upon receiving the bounty and mercy of Allah Almighty. Show general happiness at all times, but show special joy on those days in which this favour came, i.e. in Ramadan, and particularly on Layla-tul-Qadr, for the bounty of Allah arrived in the form of the Qur’an, and in Rabi-ul-Awwal, and particularly on the 12^th, for the mercy to the worlds, Sayyiduna Muhammad صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم was born.

This bounty and mercy or celebrating them is better than the worldly wealth, goods, money, properties, land, animals, fields, and even your children, because this joy is not personal, rather it is universal. It is not temporary, it is continuous. It is not only restricted to the world, rather it is for both the world and the religion. It is not physical, rather it is for the heart and spirit. It does not result in loss, rather it brings reward. (Tafseer-e-Na’eemi, vol. 11, p. 377)

Dear Islamic brothers! Allah Almighty has mentioned the arrival of the Beloved Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in many other places of the Qur’an also. Let us hear some of these verses:
