"If Muhammad

"O Beloved! If I had not created you, I would never have disclosed Myself."
Our Beloved Prophet Muhammad
[Sallal laahu 'alaiehi wa sallam]
has stated,
[Sallal laahu 'alaiehi wa sallam]

He created "Lau- hay -Mahfooz" or The Protected Tablet, with the third
portion He created the "Arsh" or Throne and with the fourth portion
He created the rest of creation.
When Allaah Almighty desired to send His viceroy to earth, He created the mould of Prophet Aadam [Alaiehis salaam] and placed on his forehead and the back [spine] the Noor of Rasool Allaah.

He said, "Do you agree, and accept My binding responsibility in this matter?" They all answered, "We agree"; He said, "Then bear witness amongst yourselves, and I Myself am a witness with you."
The Mention Of the Arrival...

Then, one from among them answered that she was Hazrat Bibi Maryam, [alaiehis salaam]. the mother of Hazrat 'Ieesa [alaihis salaam]. The second said that she was Bibi Aasiya, the wife of Firaun and the third said that she was Hazrat Bibi Hajrah, the wife of Hazrat Ibraaheem [alaihis salaam].

Light of the World...
QURAAN and..
ZIKR E RASOOL
MUHAMMAD
[Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam]
After these events, the light of the worlds, The Prophet Muhammad
[Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam]
was born. The Quraan announced:
was born. The Quraan announced:
"Verily came towards you from Allaah a Light and a Bright Book."
Allaah (Almighty and Glorious is He) says in the QURAAN Soorah Aaraf
It is those who believe in Prophet Muhammad
[Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] honour him (respect and revere), help him and follow the light, which is sent down with him. It is they who will achieve success.
Perfect belief in the Messenger of Allaah Kareem
Loving and honoring him
Assisting the way of life (deen) brought by him,
By sacrificing ones wealth and life;
This is the Divine Guarantee of success
Allaah Subhanhu Wa Ta'alaa...says in the Quraan…….
I take an oath by this city of Makkah, (Although I am independent and have no need to swear an oath). I swear by this city (not because the Kaabah, Hateem, Hajr e Aswad, and the Safaa Marwa are here. But because ‘O Beloved your blessed feet touch the soil of the city”After these events, the light of the worlds, The Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] was born. The Quraan announced:
"Verily came towards you from Allaah a Light and a Bright Book."
In the Holy Quran, Allaah Kareem The Most Exalted has described the Holy Prophet’s [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] blessed physical appearance and character, beautiful external and internal attributes.
Allaah Almighty refers to the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] as Tahaa and Yaseen in some places and has addressed the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] as Sirajum Munira in other places.
The Creator Himself praises His Beloved Messenger [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] in the Quraan............
Our love for the Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam]
is because he is the Messenger of Allaah [Subhanhu Wa Ta'alaa] he is (Rasool ul laah) and the Beloved of Allaah (Habeeb ul laah).
Allaah Kareem loves him and orders us to love him.
Love for the Holy Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] in reality, is love for Allaah Kareem. Therefore the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] has stated:
“Man ahabbani faqad Ahaballah”
He who loves me has loved Allaah Kareem [Subhanhu Wa Ta'alaa]
In the same manner, remember the obedience of the Holy Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] is in reality the obedience of Allaah Kareem.
I swear by the glorious morning light and by the still night. Your Allaah Kareem has not forsaken you nor is he displeased.
The revelations had ceased for a while and the disbeliever's taunted the Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] that his Allaah Kareemhad forsaken him. He knew that Allaah will not forsake him but his blessed heart felt hurt due to the taunts. Allaah Kareem could not bear to see His beloved grieved and He sent down this verse. Shah Abd al-Aziz Of Delhi (Rahmatullahi alaihi) expounds the meaning beautifully in his Qur’aanic commentary called Tafseer Azizia. Allaah Kareem says,
"I swear by your beautiful face which glows like the morning light My beloved and I swear by your Beautiful locks of hair which, when it covers your radiant face is as if night has fallen that I have not forsaken you".
Allaah Kareem swears by His beloved's city, face, hair, lineage and birth to expound the fact that loving Rasool al laah and everything attached to him is Almighty Allaah’s practice or Sunnat.
"And we sent not you but mercy for all the world."
(Kanzul Ieemaan Holy Quraan, Soorah
Al Anmbia ]
"And We have exalted for you your remembrance"
[Soorah Al-InShirah]
"Undoubtedly, you have the best in the following of the Messenger,"
[Soorah Al-Ahzab]
"The Prophet is nearer to his lovers (mo’min) than their own souls"
[Quraan Soorah]
Many a time
I[Almighty) have seen, you turn your face towards sky. I will make you turn towards a qiblah (direction) that will please you"
[Quraan Soorah]
In the Quraan Allaah [Subhaanahu - Wa - Ta'aala]
Commands the believers to send Durood and Salaam to His Habib Muhammad Mustafaa [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] as stated in this verse "Undoubtedly, Allaah and His Angels send blessings on the Prophet the communicator of unseen news,
O' you who believe! send upon him blessings and salute him fully well in abundance"
[Soorah Al-Ahzab]
These are the few verses from the Quraan where Allaah Ta'aala honors and praises His most beautiful creation Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] The Quraan is full of such Praises and honors for Rasool-ul-laah [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam]
There are several hadees where Rasool-ul-laah [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] himself ordered Hasan bin Thabit (radi allaah anho) to read poetry in his praise.
First Meelaad...
After the blessed birth of Prophet Sayyid Abdul Muttalib celebrated by taking the
Holy Prophet [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] inside the Kabah Shareef. He then wrote lines of
poetry on this occasion and thanked Allaah Almighty for this great gift. These lines of poetry are still available. This iscalled the first Meelaad on earth.
The Holy Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] himself told of the day of His Blessed Birth.
“I am the answer to the prayer of Hazrat Ibraheem
[Alaiehis-Salaam]
I am the good news of Hazrat
Ieesaa [Alaiehis-Salaam] . I am the dream of my mother that she saw with her open eyes.
[Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] himself stated his own birth from very beginning He says:
"I had been transferred, continuously, from purified offspring to purified wombs.
[Tafseer Ruhul biyan,]
The Holy Prophet Muhammad [Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] himself celebrated his own Meelaad.
There are many other narrations which narrate that the Prophet of Allaah Almighty celebrated his own Meelaad by having fast.
"I took birth and the Quraan was revealed upon me in this day."
Mehfil e Meelaad
Allaah did confer a great favor on the believers when He sent among them an Apostle from among themselves
[Quran Soorah]
"Raise not your voice above the voice of the Prophet [[Sallal laahu 'alaiehi wasalam] Lest your labors should come to nothing without your knowledge"
[Quraan Soorah]
"Whatever the Apostle gives you accept it; and whatever he forbids you, refrain from. And fear Allaah, for Allaah is strict in punisment"
Mehfil-e-Meelaad was always there, that is to spread the teachings of Quraan and Sunnah. In the days of the Prophet[Sallal Laahu 'Alaiehi Wa Sallam] and]' Sahaba eKiraam [Radi-allaah-anhum] every day was like celebrating Mehfil-e-Meelaad Quraan and sunnah gathering [mehfil
