Manqoos Maulid With English Translation and Transliteration, Manqoos Moulid,Manqus Mawlid,مولد النبي صلى اللع عليه وسلم (منقوص )


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Maulid
The word “Maulid” in Arabic means “the place of birth or the time of birth” and it is used largely for “birth” also. Here, the word ‘Maulid’ refers to the biographical histories for the prophet (), other prophets (alaihimussalam) and pious servants of Allah. Normally ‘Maulid’ is compiled in combination of the phrase and the poem.      

To remember the prophets (A) and the pious predecessors or to read and tell their stories is very recommended ’Ibadha (act of worship) in Islam.

It is unnecessary to stress the well-established importance of the need for remembering the Prophet () and explaining his stories.

Sending Swalat on the prophet () - praying Allah to send blessings upon him - is the core for Maulidunnabi (Swallallahu ‘Alaihi wa sallam)

There are many Maulids written on Rasulullah ().

In worldwide, Maulid Dibae and Maulid Barzanji are the most popular Maulids on Rasulullah (). Sharrafal Anam Maulid is also well-known. In Kerala, Manqus Maulid is mostly recited while Subhana Maulid is recited in some other states like Tamilnadu. In northern India and neighbouring countries of India, Urdu Lyrics (Na’at Shareef) are more popular.

Manqus  Maulid
It is composed by the Islamic Scholar from Malabar First Makhdoom - Sheikh Zainudden bin Ali bin Ahmad (A.D. 1467 to A.D. 1522 / Hijrah 871-Sha'ban 12 to Hijrah 928-Sha'ban 16) (Rahimahullahu).
(‘Makhdooms’ were the scholars from Ponnani (an area in Malabar, which was known as the ‘Makkah of Malabar’. They had the religious leadership of the Muslims in Malabar and surrounding areas of Kerala).

Hidayatul Adhkiya is another famous work for the author. It is a well-known book in Taswawwuf.

The Context
There were frequent fears of Plague, Smallpox and many natural calamities at the coastal areas of Malabar. So, the people approached Sheikh Maqdoom who was the top spiritual leader of Muslims in Malabar and expressed their grievances and worries.

Shaikh Makhdoom thought deeply about the matter and decided to compose a Moulid, following in the footsteps of former Muslim scholars. Some parts of this Maulid were extracted from other maulids (and shortened), while some themes were added by himself to cater to the problems of the Malabar region at that time.  Sheikh Maqdoom then asked everyone to read this Maulid at their houses and in all the Masjids.

This Maulid is known on the title of ‘Al-Maulidul Manqoos’ (The word “Manqus” in Arabic means ‘The Shortened’).

Since that time, this Maulid has been regularly recited by Muslims in Kerala and neighbouring places with great devotion, especially in the month of Rabee’ul Awwal, and also during special events and for special needs.

In different parts of the world, by Kerala Muslim communities as well as by many other groups also it has been recited with great enthusiasm.

May Allah Subhanahu Watha-ala grant Sheikh Maqdoom (R) His divine blessings and May Allah shower His blessings upon us, parents, teachers, families and all fellow brothers and sisters.

(At the time of horror on the day of judgement) when Allah the most generous will be characterized with the name of ‘revenger’
And O, the Messenger of Allah, my case will not be a big thing in front of your big status. (because your status is powerful to make intercession for all the sinners among the believers)

Verily major sins in front of Allah’s forgivness is just like minor sins (If Allah wills he will forgive all sins except the -associating partners with Allah)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي أَطْلَعَ فِي شَهْرِ رَبِيعِ اْلأَوَّلِ قَمَرَ نَبِيِّ الْهُدَى وَأَوْجَدَ نُورَهُ قَبْلَ خَلْقِ الْعَالَمِ وَسَمَّاهُ مُحَمَّدًا
Subhanalladhee atwl`a fi shahri Rabe’il awwali qamara nabiyyil huda, wa aujadha nurahu qabla khalqil ‘aalami wa smmahu Muhammada.
I glorify Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) the One who made the Moon to rise up, the prophet () who was sent as guidance to the people, during the month of Rabi’ul Awwal and He created prophet’s () light and named him as Muhammad () before the creation of the world.

وَأَخْرَجَهُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ كَمَا قَدَّرَ وَأَبْدَى وَأَلْبَسَهُ خِلْعَةَ الْجَمَالِ الَّتِي لَمْ يُلْبِسْهَا أَحَدًا فَوُلِدَ بِوَجْهٍ أَخْجَلَ قَمَرًا وَفَرْقَدًا
Wa akhrajahu fi aakhiri zzamani kama qaddhara wa abdha, wa albasahu khil’atal jamali llatee lam yulbisha ahadha. fa wulidha bi wajhin akhjala qamaran wa farqadha.
And He brought out him in the last era (as the last of all prophets) as He decided earlier and declared it in the Holy Scripts and then He (Allah) put on him with garments of beauty which were not put on anybody before him. Thus, He was born with a face which ashamed the moon and the Farqadh (The Star, situated in the northern part of the sky, often used by sailors during their navigation)

أَلاَ هُوَ الَّذِي تَوَسَّلَ بِهِ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ وَافْتَخَرَ بِكَوْنِهِ وَالِدًا وَاسْتَغَاثَ بِهِ نُوحٌ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فَنَجَى مِنَ الرَّدَى
Ala huwalladzee tawassala bihi Aadamu ‘alahissalam waftakhara bi kaunihi walidan wastagatha bihi Nuhun ‘alaihissalam fa naja mina rrada
Yes, He (Muhammad) () is the one by whose status Adam (‘Alaihissalam) asked Allah, and Adam (‘Alaihissalam) was proud to be his father. And he is the one by whose baraka Nuh (‘Alaihissalam) sought help from Allah (During the flood) and thus he escaped from the destruction.


وَكَانَ فِي صُلْبِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ حِينَ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ فَعَادَ وَصَارَ لَهَـبُهَا مُخْمَدًا
Wa kana fi swulbi Ibrahima ‘alaihissalam heena ulqiya finnari fa ‘aada wa swara lahabuha mukhmada.
He (Muhammad ) had been in the backbone of Hazrat Ibrahim ‘Alaihissalam while he was put into the fire and he was back from the fire (safely) as the flames of the fire were put off wondrously

وَرَأَتْ اُمُّهُ آمِنَةُ حِينَ حَمَلَتْ بِهِ مَلاَئِكَةَ السَّمَاءِ مَدَدًا وَدَخَل َعَلَيْهَا اْلأَنْبِيَاءُ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ لَهَا إِذَا وَضَعْتِ شَمْسَ اْلفَلاَحِ وَالْهُدَى فَسَمِّيهِ مُحَمَّدًا
Wara-at ummuhu Aminatu (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) heena hamalat bihi malaaikata ssamaai madada, wa dakhala ‘alaihal ambiyaau wahum yaqooloona laha idha wada’ti shamsal falahi wal huda fasammeehi Muhammada.
And when his mother Aminah (Radhiyallahu ‘anha) got  pregnant with the prophet (), the angels of the Heaven came to help her, and the prophets (‘Alaihimussalam)  came to her saying ‘when you give birth to the (baby) ‘sun of victory and guidance’, please name him Muhammad ().’

قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمْ
Qalallahu ‘azza wajalla
 لَقَدْ جَاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَاعَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمْ

Allah says: “There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful.”


وَرُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كُنْتُ نُورًا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ يُسَبِّحُ اللهَ ذَلِكَ النُّورُ وَتُسَبِّحُ الْمَلائِكَةُ بِتَسْبِيحِهِ
Waruwiya ‘ani nnabiyyi swallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam annahu qala kuntu nuran baina yadayillahi ‘azza wajalla qabla an yakhlukha Adama ‘alaihi ssalam bi alfai ‘amin yusabbihullaha dhalika nnuru wa tusabbihul malaikatu bi tasbihihi.
And it is reported from the Prophet () (By Ibnu ‘Abbas (R) as recorded By Ibnu Asakir (R) and similar reports are narrated by Imam Twabrani and others) that the prophet () said, “I was a light in front of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى )  two thousand years before Adam ‘alaihissalam was created. This light had been glorifying Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) and angels also were glorifying Allah along with this Tasbeeh (glorifying) from this Nur
فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ اللهُ تَعَالَى آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ أَلْقَى ذَلِكَ النُّورَ فِي طِينَتِهِ فَأَهْبَطَنِيَ اللهُ فِي صُلْبِ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ إِلَى اْلأَرْضِ
Falamma khalaqallahu ta`ala Adama ‘alaihissalam alqa dhalika nnura fi twinatihi fa ahbatwaniyallahu fi swulbi Adama ‘Alaihissalam ilal ardhi
When Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) created Adam ‘alaihissalam put that Nur in his clay then Allah sent down me to the earth through the backbone of Adam ‘alaihissalam.

وَجَعَلَنِي فِي السَّفِينَةِ فِي صُلْبِ نُوحٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ وَجَعَلَنِي فِي صُلْبِ الْخَلِيلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمْ حِينَ قُذِفَ بِهِ فِي النَّارِ
Waja`lani fissafeenati fi swulbi Nuhin ‘alaihissalam waja`lani fi swulbil khalili Ibrahima ‘alaihissalm heena qudzifa bihi finnar.
And He placed me on the backbone of Nuh (‘alaihissalam) in the ship and put me in the backbone of Khaleelullahi Ibrahim (‘alaihissalam) when he was thrown to the fire.

وَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَنْقُلُنِي رَبِّي مِنَ اْلأَصْلاَبِ الْكَرِيمَةِ الْفَاخِرَةِ إِلَى اْلأَرْحَامِ الزَّكِيَّةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَنِيَ اللهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَبَوَيَّ وَلَمْ يَلْتَقِيَا عَلَى سِفَاحٍ قَطّ.
Walam yazal yanquluni rabbi minal aswlabil karimatil fakhirati ilal arhami zzakiyyati twahirati hatta akhrajaniyallahu min baini abawayya walam yaltaqiya ‘ala swifahin qatt.
And thus, My Lord had been taking me through noble and delighted backbones - one by one -to the purified wombs. Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) brought out me from my parents very clean and pure in a sacred lineage
[Note: All these events are seen reported in MUJMAUL KABEER for Imam Twabrani (4:213) and in MUSTADRAK (4:391) and in SEERATUL HALABIYYAH

رَوَى كَعْبُ اْلأَحْبَارِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ لَمَّا أَرَادَ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِظْهَارَ النُّورِ الْمَخْزُونِ وَإِبْرَازَ الْجَوْهَرِ الْمَكْنُونِ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِلَى بَطْنِ آمِنَةَ
Rawa Ka’bul Ahbari radiyallahu ‘anhu lamma aradallahu ta`la izhhara nnuril makhzuni wa ibrazal jauharil maknuni min ‘abdillahi ila batwni Aminata (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha)
Ka`bul Ahbar radhiallahu anhu reports:
(Note: He was a Tabie, (one of those who succeeded the Companions of Rasulullah (swahaba) and also one of the historians in the first Islamic century who learned more about the Testaments. He embraced Islam during the reign of the Caliph Umauru bnul Khattab (Radhiyallahu Anhu). He passed away in 32 H.)

When Allah سبحانه وتعالى) wanted to reveal the Nur that was kept with great care and to bring out the hidden pearl from Abdullah (Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu) to the womb of Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha)

أَطْهَرِ فَتَاةٍ فِي الْعَرَبِ وَذَلِكَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَجَبٍ أَمَرَ رِضْوَانَ عليه السلام
Atwhari fatatin fil ‘arabi wa dhalika fi lailatil jumu’ati min shahri rajabin amara Ridwana alaihi ssalam
the purest lady amongst the Arabs, it was on a Friday night in the month of Rajab, Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) commanded Ridhwan (the Angel who is the Guard of Paradise)

فَفُتِحَتْ أَبْوَابُ الْجِنَانِ وَتَزَيَّنَتِ الْحُورُ وَالْوِلْدَانُ وَدُقَّتْ بَشَائِرُ اْلأَفْرَاحِ وَزَهَرَتْ كَوَاكِبُ الصَّبَاحِ
Fafutihat abwabul jinani wa tazayyanatil huru wal wildanu waduqhat bashaairul afrahi wa zaharat kawakibu sswabahi
then the doors of paradise were opened. Hurs and Al-Wildnu-l- Mukhalladoon were adorned in the beauty and bells announcing the good news were tuned and morning stars started to shine.

N;b-  Hurs are the heavenly girls with large eyand Al-Wildnu-l- Mukhalladoon are the handsome boys in the paradise who will be welcoming the believers in to the paradise. According to some scholars, they are special creations of Allah for the paradise and according to some, they are the children who were deceased before getting their period of puberty .We can see in many hadiths that these children will be waiting for their parents at the doors of paradise and they will request to Allah to send their parents with them and even it is reported that they would pull their parents into the paradise.)

وَنَادَى مُنَادٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَاْلأَرْضِ أَلاَ إِنَّ النُّورَ الْمَكْنُونَ مِنْهُ سَيِّدُ الْبَشَرِ فِي بَطْنِ آمِنَةَ قَدِ اسْتَقَرَّ
Wa naada munadin fissama-i wal ardhi ala innannural maknoona minhu sayyidul bashari fi batwni Aminata (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) qadistaqarra
And one caller from Allah, announced in the heavens and earth “Yes, indeed the Nur (the light) in which the leader of mankind () is shielded has been placed in the belly/womb of Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha).”

وَلَمَّا انْتَقَلَ نُورُ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ إِلَى بَطْنِ آمِنَةَ اِهْتَزَّ الْعَرْشُ طَرَبًا وَاسْتِبْشَارًا
Walammantaqala nuru nabiyyina Muhammadin swallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam min ‘Abdillahi ila batwni Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) ihtazzal ‘arshu twaraban wastibsharan
When this Nur of prophet muhammad () moved from Abdullah to the womb of Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha), the ‘Arsh’ (a special creation of Allah which remarks His greatness) trembled with joy and pleasure.

وَزَادَ الْكُرْسِيُّ هَيْبَةً وَوَقَارًا وَامْتَلَئَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ أَنْوَارًا وَضَجَّتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ تَهْلِيلاً وَاسْتِغْفَارَا
Wazadal kursiyyu haibatan wa waqaran wamtalatissamawatu anwaran wa dhajjatil malaikatu tahleelan wastighfaran.
And Kursiy(special creation of Allah which is bigger than earth and heavens) increased in awe and dignity. The Heavens were filled with the special lights (Nur), and angels were reciting loudly Tahlil (La ilaha Illallah Muahammadu Rasulullah) and Istighfar (asking forgiveness from Allah)

فَأَصْبَحَتْ آمِنَةُ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَاْلأَنْوَارُ تَلُوحُ فِي جَبْهَتِهَا الْمُؤْتَمِنَة
Fa aswbahat Aaminatu (R) fi tilka llailati wal anwaru taloohu fi jabhatihal mu`taminati
special lights were shining in the confident forehead of Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) throughout the night
وَأَمِنَتْ بِهِ مِنَ الْمَخَاوِفِ الْكَامِنَةِ وَظَهَرَتْ لِانْتِقَالِ نُورِهِ اْلآيَاتُ وَتَبَاشَرَتْ بِهِ جَمِيعُ الْمَخْلُوقَاتِ
Wa aminat bihi minal makhawifil kaaminati wazhaharat lintiqali nurihil ayaatu wa tabasharat bihi jamee’ul makhluqati
She had no any fear of hidden dangers on him. The signs for the moving of his sacred ‘Nur’ were appeared and all creatures passed good news of him each other.

وَلَمَّا حَمَلَتْ بِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ فِي رَجَبِ الْهَنَا بُشِّرَتْ فِي شَعْبَانَ بِنَيْلِ الْمُنَى وَقِيلَ لَهَا فِي رَمَضَانَ لَقَدْ حَمَلْتِ باِلْمُطَهَّرِ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَالْخَنَا
Walamma hamalat bihi swallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam fi rajabil hana busshirat fi sha`bana bi nailil muna wa qeela laha fi ramadana laqad hamalti bil mutwhhari minaddanasi wal khana.
When she became pregnant with Prophet (), in the delightful month of Rajab, she was given the glad in the month of Sha’ban that her wishes were going to be fulfilled and she was told in the Ramadan, that she had got pregnant with a child who was completely purified from dirt and impurities

وَسَمِعَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فِي شَوَّالٍ يُبَشِّرُونَهَا بِالظَّفْرِ بِغَايَةِ الْمُنَا
Wa sami ‘atil malaikata fi shawwalin yubasshirunaha bizzhafri bi ghayatil muna.
She heard the Angels in Shawwal giving her good news of winning her ultimate wish

وَرَأَتِ الْخَلِيلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ فِي ذِى الْقَعْدَةِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَهَا أَبْشِرِي بِصَاحِبِ اْلأَنْوَارِ وَالْوَقاَرِ وَالسَّنَا
Wara atil khalila Ibrahima ‘alaihissalam fi dzilqadati wahuwa yaqoolu laha abshiree biswahibil anwari wal waqari wassana.
She saw Hazrat Ibrahim alaihissalam in the month of Dhulqadah, saying to her, “be pleased to be blessed with the man () of lights, dignity and high status”
وَأَتَاهَا فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ مُوسَى الْكَلِيمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ وَأَعْلَمَهَا بِرُتْبَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَجَاهِهِ اْلأَسْنَى
Wa ataha fi dzil hijjati Musal kalimu ‘alaihissalam wa a`lamaha bi rutbati Muhammadin swallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam wa jahihil asna.
Hazrat Musa ‘alaihissalam came to her in Dhulhijjah and informed her about the status of the Prophet () and his high rank

وَنَادَاهَا فِي مُحَرَّمٍ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ بِأَنَّ وَقْتَ وِلاَدَتِهَا قَد دَّنَا وَاصْطَفَّتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ مَنْزِلَهَا فِي صَفَرٍ
Wa nadaha fi muharramin Jibrilu ‘alaihissalam bi anna waqta wiladatiha qaddana,wastwaffatil malaikatu manzilaha fi swafarin
Jibril ‘alaihissalam called her in Muharram telling her that the time for her delivery was very near. Angels lined up in her house in the month of Safar.

فَعَلِمَتْ أَنَّ مَوْعِدَ السُّرُورِ قَدْ قَرُبَ وَدَنَا فَلَمَّا هَلَّ رَبِيعُ اْلأَوَّلِ أَضَائَتِ اْلأَرْضُ وَالسَّمَا وَأَشْرَقَتِ الْبَيْتُ وَالصَّفَا
Fa ’alimat anna mau’ida ssururi qad qaruba wa dana. falamma halla rabi’ul awwali adha-atil ardhu wassama wa ashraqatil baitu wasswafa.
Then she knew that the time of happiness has come very near. When the month of Rabiulawwal began; the earth and sky were shining in brightness, and the Holy Ka’aba and Swafa Mountain were illuminating

ثُمَّ لَمَّا جَاءَ وَقْتُ الْوِلاَدَةِ وَخَرَجَ مَنْشُورُ السَّعَادَةِ وَجَدَّ بِآمِنَةَ أَمْرُ الْوِلآدَةِ
Thumma lamma ja-a waqtul wiladati wa kharaja manshuru ssa`ada wa jaddha bi aminata (R) amrul wilada
And when the time of delivery came, the proclamation of success was out, the signs of delivery were getting strong in Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha)

وَحَانَ بُرُوزُ شَمْسِ السَّعَادَةِ تَلَأْلَأَ الْحَقُّ نُورًا أَضَاءَ وَنُشِرَتْ لَهُ فِي الْكَوْنِ أَعْلاَمُ الرِّضَى
Wa hana buruzu shamsi ssa`dati tala-la al haqu nuran adha-a wanushirat lahu fil kauni a`lamurridha
And the “sun of victory” was going to rise, the (light of) truth illuminated spreading light very far and the flags of appreciation were spread all over the universe

وَ إِذَا بِطَائِرٍ أَبْيَضَ قَد سَّقَطَ مِنَ الْهَوَى فَمَرَّ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ عَلَى بَطْنِ آمِنَةَ مُسْرِعًا فَضَرَبَهَا الْمَخَاضُ لَيْلَةَ الِاثْنَيْنِ الثَّانِي عَشَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعِ اْلأَوَّلِ وَوَلَدَتْ صَبِيحَتَهَا نَبِيَّ الثَّقَلَيْنِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينْ
Wa idha bi twa-irin Abyadha qa ssaqatwa minal hawa fa marra bi janahaiyhi ‘ala batwhni aminta (Radhiyallahu ‘anha) musri’an fadharabahal makhadhu lailatalithnaini thani ‘ashara min shahri Rabi’l awwali wa waladat swabihataha nabiyyathaqalaini swallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam wa ‘ala aalihi wa swahbihi ajma’ien.
Suddently a white bird flew down and passed over the belly of Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) speedily stretching its wings. Then (as stated in Nurul Abswar-by Imam Suyuti Rahimahillahu) she began to feel labour pains on the eve of 12th Rabiul awwal and in the morning (of 12th Rabiul awwal), she gave birth to the prophet of mankind and the jinn. May Allah send his blessings upon him, and all of his family and companions.

It was reported that when the Prophet (was given birth, Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) saw a very bright light, through which she could  watch the castles of Bosra (a town in Southern Syria) in  the region of ‘Sham’ (‘sham’ includes the areas of Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Lebanon reaching to the  borders of Saudi Arabia)
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ آمِنَةَ قَالَتْ لَمَّا وَضَعْتُهُ مَدَدْتُ عَيْنِي لِأَنْظُرَ وَلَدِي فَلَمْ أَرَهُ ثُمَّ وَجَدْتُهُ فِي الْمِخْدَعِ وَهُوَ مَكْحُولٌ مَدْهُونٌ مَخْتُونٌ مَلْفُوفٌ بِثَوْبٍ مِنَ الصُّوفِ اْلأَبْيَضِ أَلْيَنَ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ يَفُوحُ الطِّيبُ مِنْ جَنَابِهِ

And It is reported that Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) said: “When I gave birth to Rasulullah (), I eagerly looked to see my baby but I could not see him. Then after a while I found him in the bedchamber and he was with Kohl on his eyes, covered with oil, circumcised and wrapped in a white cotton cloth which was softer than silk and a nice fragrance was spreading from his side


فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَإِذَا مُنَادٍ يُنَادِي أَخْفُوهُ عَنْ أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ قَالَتْ فَمَا كَانَ غَيْبَتُهُ وَحُضُورُهُ إِلاَّ  كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ
Faja’altu anzhuru ilaihi vaidza munadin yunadi akhfoohu ‘an a`yuni nnasi, qalat fama kana ghaibatuhu wa hudhuruhu illa ka lamhil baswari
I kept looking on him. Suddenly, a caller was calling out please hide him from the eyes of the people. Amina (radhiyallahu anha says: suddenly, the baby disappeared from my eyes and soon he was found in front of me. All it happened in the blink of an eye

وَلَمَّا كُنْتُ مُتَحَيِّرَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ إِذَا بِثَلاَثَةِ نَفَرٍ قَد دَّخَلُوا عَلَيَّ كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمْ أَقْمَارٌ وَفيِ يَدِ أَحَدِهِمْ إِبْرِيقٌ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَمَعَ اْلآخَرِ طَشْتٌ مِنَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ اْلأَخْضَرِ وَفِي يَدِ الثَّالِثِ حَرِيرَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ مَطْوِيَّةٌ فَنَشَرَهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ خَاتَمٌ يُحَيِّرُ أَعْيُنَ النَّاظِرِينَ مِنْ شِدَّةِ  نُورِهِ

While I was very surprised by this, a group of three came to me, their faces were looking like the moon. There was a silver jug in one’s hand, and a washbowl of green aquamarine with another one, and there was folded white silk in the third one’s hand.  he spread it. Then There was a seal (referring to the end of the chain of prophets and messengers (Alaihimussalam) with prophet Muhammad (swallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) astonishing the sights of viewers, by its brightness.

Note: It was predicted in Tourat and Injiel, that the Prophet () would be born with this seal. So, many of the scholars of these two books, embraced Islam, seeing this seal and other signs mentioned in their books.

حَمَلَ ابْنِي وَنَاوَلَهُ لِصَاحِبِ الطَّشْتِ وَأَنَا أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَغَسَلَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ الَّذِي فِي اْلإِبْرِيقِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ اخْتِمْ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيهِ بِخَاتَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ فَهُوَ خَاتِمُ النَّبِيِّينْ وَسَيِّدُ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَاْلأَرْضِ أَجْمَعِينْ

He carried my son and passed my son to the holder of washbowl while I was looking to him, then he washed him seven times using the water in the jug. Then he told his colleague: seal in between his two shoulders the seal of Khatamunnubuwwah (i.e. the sign of the last prophethood), because he is the last of all prophets and the leader of all those in the heavens and in the earth.
وَقِيلَ لَمَّا وُلِدَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَمَدَت تِّلْكَ اللَّيْلةَ نَارُ فَارِسَ بَعْدَ الضِّرَامِ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ خَمَدَتْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ

It is reported, that the fire of Persia became extinguished in the night of the birth of the Prophet () after it had been burning for several years and this fire had never been extinguished for two thousand years preceding that day.

وَارْتَجَّ إِيوَانُ كِسْرَى وَسَقَطَتْ مِنْهُ أَرْبَعَ عَشَرَ شُرْفَةً وَغَاضَتْ بُحَيْرَةُ سَاوَةَ وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَصْنَامُ الدُّنْيَا كُلُّهَا مَنْكُوسَةً وَرُمِيَتِ الشَّيَاطِينُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِالشُّهُبِ الثَّوَاقِبِ وَانْبَلَجَ صُبْحُ الْحَقِّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُهُ كُلُّ كَاذِبٍ

The palace of Kisra trembled, fourteen of its terraces fell down, the Pond of Sawa (town in old Persia currently Iran) dried up, all idols in the world were inverted, Satans were thrown from the doors of heavens by sharpened flame sticks, and the dawn of truth was exposed to all. And All the false practices were proved to be not relevant

وَرُوِيَ عَنْ يَحْيَي بْنِ عُرْوَةَ (رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ) أَنَّ نَفَرًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ كَانُوا عِنْدَ صَنَمٍ مِنْ أَصْنَامِهِمْ قَدِ اتَّخَذُوا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عِيدًا مِنْ أَيَّامِهِمْ يَنْحَرُونَ فِيهِ الْجَزُورَ وَيَأْكُلُونَ وَيَشْرَبُونَ وَقَدْ عَكَفُوا عَلَيْهِ يَخُوضُونَ وَيَلْعَبُونَ

It was reported by Yahya bin ‘Urwa (Grandson of Zubair bin Awwam) that a group of Quraish were sitting with an idol for them, celebrating one of their Festivals, slaughtering the camels, eating and drinking and they were fully dedicated in playing and enjoying on it.

فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَوَجَدُوهُ مَكْبُوبًا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَأَنْكَرُوا عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَدُّوهُ إِلَى حَالِهِ فَانْقَلَبَ انْقِلاَبَ صَاغِرٍ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثًا وَهُوَ لاَيَسْتَقِيمُ

When they entered into its presence, they found it fallen on its face. It was unbelievable for them. They re-established it as it was before. but it again turned down like someone falls humiliated. they did it three times, but it was not getting straight.

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ أَبْدَوْا حُزْنًا وَتَأَلُّمًا وَأَصْبَحَ الْعِيدُ الَّذِي كَانُوا فِيهِ مَأْتَمًا فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْحُوَيْرِثِ مَا لَهُ قَدْ أَكْثَرَ التَّنَكُّسَ إِنَّ هَذَا لِأَمْرٍ حَدَثَ وَأَنْشَدَ وَقَلْبُهُ يَصْلَى بِالنَّارِ

when they saw all what happened, they exposed their sadness and sorrows, and celebration became mourning, then ‘Uthman bn ul Huwarith (their leader) said: what happened to this idol. Many times, it keeps falling down! Surely, this is because of an incident just happened, and he began to sing, while his heart was burning with anger.

Muhammad Ibnu Ishaq (R) (H-85-H 151) says in his book (The history of the Messenger of Allah () سيرة رسول الله)

- which was compiled by him, is one of the most famous works on Rasulullahi ())
-----------------
On the seventh day of his birth, his grandfather Abdul Muttalib slaughtered for him, did all matters on its importance and he invited the Quraish and gave them nice hosting with delicious food.
After having their meal, they asked Abdul Muttalib: What name you have given for your son (grandson). He replied, “I have named him ‘Muhammad’. They told him, “you have disapproved the names of your forefathers?” He said, “I wanted that all on   the earth would praise him.

When it was the time for the appearance of his secrets and lightening of the universe with his lights, Amina (Radhiyallahu ‘Anha) was alone paying attentions to his blessings and nobody was there. She didn`t feel anything except that there was a light shining in her house, she was fully caught by the pleasure and happiness, and Angels and Hur E`en (unique beautiful girls from heaven with large eyes) came there, different types of birds surrounded her room, she heard their rushing and celebration on the coming of the prophet (). How could this not be the case as the leader of the entire world () had been born in the house of Amina (Radhiyallahu Anha).

“There was a Dzimmy (a non-Muslim who stays with full protection in an Islamic republic) staying beside me. I used to invite poor people in the month of Rabeeul awwal and celebrate the birthday of the Prophet swallallahu alaihi wasallam. He asked me, ‘why do you do this in this month and and not in others?’. I said, “Because of my happiness on the birth of the Messenger (), as he was born in this month.” Then he (the Dzimmy) began to laugh at me and I was very hurt.

When I fell asleep in that night, I had a vision of the holy Prophet () in the dream.  He asked me, “any problem?”. I explained to him () my experience with the ‘Dzimmiy’. Then He told me, “Do not worry, he will come tomorrow to you as a believer.”
قَالَ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَقَدْ تَزَايَدَ وَجْدِي وَأَنَا أَنْتَظِرُ إِنْجَازَ وَعْدِي وَسُحْبُ الْمَدَامِعِ قَدْ جَرَتْ عَلَى خَدِّي وَإِذَا بِالْبَابِ يُطْرَقُ وَالذّمِّيُّ يَقُولُ اِفْتَحْ فَقَدْ زَالَ صَدَا قَلْبِي إِنْ كَانَ الْحَبِيبُ قَدْ كَانَ عِنْدَكَ فَالْباَرِحَةَ قَدْ كَانَ عِنْدِي

He (Aliyyubnu zaid (R) said, “then I woke up and my eagerness was increasing, as I had been waiting for fulfilment of the promise of Rasulullah () to me, and there were tears flowing down through my cheeks”. Here is someone knocking at the door! The Dzimmy was there -saying, “Please open the door, stains in my heart have been removed, if the Prophet () was with you once, he was with me last night!”


قَالَ فَفَتَحْتُ لَهُ الْبَابَ فَدَخَلَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لاَإِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ مُحمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللهِ فَقُلْتُ مَا شَأْنُكَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ رَجُلا ًحَسَنَ الْوَجْهِ طَيِّبَ الرَّائِحَة ِعَظِيمَ الْهَيْبَةِ أَزَجَّ الْحَاجِبَيْنِ سَهْلَ الخَدَّيْنِ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْبَهَاءُ وَإِذَا صَمَتَ فَعَلَيْهِ الْوَقَارُ حُلْوُ الْمَنْطِقِ إِذَا طَلَعَ تَقُولُ هَذَا الْبَدْرُ الْمُنِيرُ وَإِذَا مَشَى يَفُوحُ مِنْهُ الْمِسْكُ وَالْعَنْبَرُ مَا أَحْسَنَ وَجْهَهُ وَمَا أَطْيَبَ رَائِحَتَهُ فَأَرَدْتُّ أَنْ أُقَبِّلَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ أَتُقَبِّلُ يَدِي وَأَنْتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ دِينِي

He (‘Aliyyubnu Zaid) said: I opened the door for him. He entered uttering La ilahaha Illallahu Muhammadu Rasulullah () (there is no God but Allah and Muhammad () is His Messenger). I asked, “What happened to you?” He replied “I saw last night a man with a handsome face, who smelt very nice, bearing a reverential countenance, with long slim eyebrows, and with good shaped cheeks. When he spoke, his face shone and when he was silent, he looked very magnificent. He speaks in very sweet manner. When he appears you would say, “This is the shining full moon.” When he walks, the smell of musk and ambergris: a fragrance) emanated from him. Oh, what a beautiful face it was! What a nice smell it was! Then I wanted to kiss his hands. He () asked me, “you kiss my hands while you are not in my religion?”
فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ الَّذِي مَنَّ اللهُ عَلَيَّ بِكَ قَالَ أَنَا الَّذِي أُرْسِلْتُ رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينْ أَناَ سَيِّدُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينْ أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ خَاتِمُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَرَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينْ فَقُلْتُ لاَ إِلَهَ إلاَّ اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللهِ فَفَتَحَ يَدَيْهِ وَعَانَقَنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْجَنَّةُ وَذَاكَ الْقَصْرُ لَكَ فَقُلْتُ مَا عَلاَمَةُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَنْ تَمُوتَ غَدًا قَالَ صَاحِبُ الْحِكَايَةِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ يُحَدِّثُنِي وَإِذَا بِالْبَابِ يُطْرَقُ وَقَائِلٌ يَقُولْ

I asked, “Who are you, with whom (in this meeting) Allah has blessed me? Then he (the Prophet () said “I am the one who has been sent as a mercy to all worlds, I am the leader of those who came first and those who will come last, I am Muhammad (), last of all prophets and the messenger of the lord of the worlds.” Then I uttered, “Lailahaha illallahu Muhammadurrasulullah”. Then he opened his arms and hugged me, saying that “This heaven and that palace are for you.” I asked him () what is the sign for it. He said “It is that You would die tomorrow.”
(‘Aliyyu bnu zaid (R) says) while the Dzimmy was talking with him, there was a knocking on the door and someone was saying

زَالَ الْجَفَا عَنَّا وَقَدْ زَالَ الشَّقَا
Zalal jafa ‘anna waqad zala sshaqa
إِنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ حَظِيتَ يَوْمًا بِاللِّقَا

The failure and separation that we had, have been moved out (we have also won it now)
If you were granted on a day a chance to cast a glance on the Prophet ()

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ هَؤُلاَءِ قَالَ زَوْجَتِي وَابْنَتِي قَالَ فَدَخَلَتاَ وَهُمَا تَقُولاَنِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا كَيْفَ إِيمَانُكُمَا قَالَتَا رَأَيْنَاهُ كَمَا رَأَيْتَ رَأْيَ عَيْنٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ وَعَدَكَ بِقَصْرٍ فَقَدْ وَعَدَنَا بِقَصْرَيْنِ قَالَ فَمَاتَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الْوَقْتِ وَفِي الْغَدِ مَاتَتِ ابْنَتُهُ وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مَاتَتْ زَوْجَتُهُ رَحِمَهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى وَرَحِمَنَا مَعَهُمْ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَنَا مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمْ كُلَّمَا ذَكَرَهُ الذَّاكِرُونْ وَغَفَلَ عَنْ ذِكْرِهِ الْغَافِلُونْ

I asked him who were those people? He said, “My wife and my daughter.” ‘Aliyyubnu Zaid (R) says: “They entered uttering Lailaha Illallahu Muhammadu Rasulullahi (There is no God but Allah, And Muhammad () is His Messenger)”. He asked both of them. What is the reason for your believing? They said, “We also saw the Prophet () (in our dreams) as you had before. If he had promised you one palace, he has promised us two palaces.” Aliyyubnu Zaid (R) said “The man died immediately, the next day his daughter   died, and on the third day his wife also passed away. May Allah grant His mercy upon them and upon us.” All praises belong to Allah who made us in the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad () as long as reciters of dhikr are reciting His dhikr (in his remembrance) and as long as the heedless are forgetting His remembrance.

all the people with the remembrance of prophet Muhammad ()’s birth (Ahmad   is the second name for the prophet ()

And extraordinary wonders occurred in that night in which the Prophet () was born.
In the respect of his () great birthday, there had occurred many happy good news.

شَهِدَتْ بِصِحَّتِهَا عُقُولُ الْحُسَّدِ

The envious people’s wisdom bore witness to its (proofs and miracles) truthfulness.
There are so many proofs and miracles related to him ().
(Note: Extraordinary wonders and miracles shown by Allah through the prophets (A) to prove their prophethood are known as Mu’jiza. Extraordinary wonders which appear from Auliya (by Allah’s order) as honour for them are known as Karamat)

and the sun which had already set down was returned for him, without giving any chance for doubt (for the quarrellers about this occurrence)
[Note: This event happened amidst the travel for the Battle of Khaiber at one place, namely, Sahbaah (in 7 H). As the Prophet () was taking rest in his lap, Ali (Radhiyallahu Anhu) could not perform the Asar prayer on time. So, the Prophet () prayed to Allah to bring the sun back for a while and it happened. Similar event is reported   in 6- H also in the battle of Khandaq in the favour of Rasulullah () and Swahaba.
The moon was split by his () order.
(Note: This event is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an (54:1). This event is also reported in many Hadiths. So, it cannot be denied by any believer (Ibnu Katheer 4/261; Sharahu Muslim 2/373)

They all Greeted him () with salaam (Assalamu Alaikum ya Rasulallah) after reciting Shahadah (Ash-hadu Alla ilaha illallahu Wa-ashhadu Anna Muhammadarrasoolullah)
Animals and trees came to him in obedience. (it was in reply to the challenge of the opponents)

It was sufficient for them – the little food which was blessed by his touch and prayers never ran out (even after feeding all the soldiers)
the Prophet () served his soldiers and followers from very little food and drink until all got out of their hunger

And (he also got) Al-Maqamul Mahmud, on the day of promise, i.e. the Day of Judgment.
(Al-maqamul mahmood is the position where the prophet (will make his Grand-Intercession- الشفاعة العظمى)
He deserves the position of Waseela (highest position in the pardise which is reserved for the prophet (), Fadheela (it is another position in the paradise which is reserved for him ()) and many other positions.

(The incident is reported in Swahihul Bukhari. We summarize it here: “The Prophet () used to stand on a stem for a palm tree to give his sermon on Fridays. Then an Ansari woman or man said, ‘yaa Rasulalallah ()! Shall we make a pulpit for you?’ He replied, ‘If you wish.’ So, they made a pulpit for him. when it was Friday, the Prophet () sat on the new pulpit to give his sermon. Suddenly, the stem of the tree started to cry like a child on missing its chance (in extreme love for rasulullah (). All those who were present heard its loud weeping. Then Prophet () came down and embraced it till it stops crying.
And the wood came to you weeping
