Prophet who gives to the needy, the final Prophet of Allah, Sayyidunā Muhammad صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came into this world.

He was born already circumcised, his umbilical cord already cut, and eyes lined with kohl (surmah).

He came into this world free from all forms of impurity and imperfection. He was born pure, perfect and immaculate. In fact, his purity is of such degree, he was sent to purify others from sin and disbelief. A voice from the unseen then said, “By the Lord of the Ka’bah! The Ka’bah has attained its honour! Remain aware, as the Ka’bah has been made the qibla and abode of the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .”            

As soon as the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came into this world, he went into prostration (sajdah). His blessed fingers were raised towards the sky. His blessed lips – more beautiful than heavenly flowers – were uttering ‘رَبِّ ھَبۡ لِیۡ اُمَّتِیۡ ، رَبِّ ھَبۡ لِیۡ اُمَّتِیۡ ، رَبِّ ھَبۡ لِیۡ اُمَّتِیۡ’.

On the occasion of this unique birth, 3 flags were planted; one in the East, one in the West and one upon the Ka’bah.

Lady Āminah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا also explained, “The East and West became illuminated with a light that shone at the time of his birth. With this light, I could clearly see the palaces of Syria from Makkah.”

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic brothers, as the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم came into the world, he performed sajdah. May Allah, for the sake of that blessed sajdah, enable us to be from those who perform sajdah and offer salah regularly! May He allow us to offer salah in congregation, and that too in the first row of the masjid!

Remember, it is obligatory for every Muslim man and woman to offer five daily salah. If someone denies salah being obligatory, he becomes a
