Manqus Maulid

Subhanalladhi atwl`a fi shahri Rabeil awwali quamara nabiyyil huda,wa auojadha nurahu
quabla khalqil a`alami wasmmahu Muhammada.
I glorify Allah SWT who allowed the moon of the prophet to rise in guidance, during the month of
Rabiul Awwal and named it Muhammad (SAW); his light has been there from before the creation of
the world.

Wakhrajahu fi a`khiri zzamani kama quaddhara wa abdha,wa albasa hu

khilatal jamali llatee lam yulbisha ahadha.fa wulidha bi wajhin akhjala
quamaran wa farqadha.
And he was brought out as the last for all prophets as decided by Allah and
announced in old scriptures. He revealed[AL1] , and he was adorned with garments
of beauty which none had ever received before. He was born with a face which
even the moon and the Farqadh (the North Star, situated in the northern part of the
sky, often used by sailors to to aid navigation) were humbled by.

Alaa huwalladhee tawassala bihi A`damu alahissalam waftakhara bi

kounihi walidan wastagatha bihi Nuhun alaihissalam fa naja mina
rradha.

You know, he is the one by whose status Adam (A) asked Allah, and Adam was
proud to be his father. He is the one by whose baraka Nuh (A) sought help from
Allah (as he travelled in the ark made by him and his followers) and he escaped
from mishaps and difficulties.
(Note: The ship had a length of 300 fee , width of 50 feet and depth of 30 feet,
and was three stories high). Nuh (A) spent six months in the ark during the flood,
not seeing any land. Later he and the others in the ship landed on
the peak of Mount of Judi [AL2] as mentioned in the Holy Quran 11:44 and 29:15.)

Wa kana fi swulbi Ibrahima alaihissalam hina ulkhiya finnari f a`dha wa

swara lahbuha mukhmada.
He has been in the backbone of Hazrat Ibrahim alaihissalam while he was put into
the fire and the flames were wondrously extinguished.

Wara-at umuhu Aminah(R) hina hamalat bihi malaekata ssamae

madhadha,wa dakhala alaihal anbiyaau wahum yaquluna idha wala`ti
shamsal falahi wal huda fa sammihi Muhammada.

And when his mother Aminah was pregnant, the angels of the Heaven came to
help, and the former messengers met her saying, when you give birth to the sun
of victory, please name him Muhammad (SAW).

Qualallahu azza wajalla laquad jaa akum rasoolum min anfusikum

aziizun alaihi maa anittum hareeswun alaikum bil mumineena rawoofur
raheem
Allah says: Verily, there has come unto you a Messenger from amongst
yourselves. It grieves him (SAW) that you should receive any injury or difficulty.
He is anxious over you. For the believers, he is full of pity, kind and merciful.

Waruwiya ani nnabiyyi sallallahu alaihi wasallam annahu qala kuntu

nuran baina yadayillahi azza wajalla qabla an yakhlukha Adama bi alfai
abinyusabbihullaha dhalika nnuru wa tusabbihul malaekatu bi tasbihihi.
And it is reported from the Prophet (SAW) that he said, I was a light in front of
Allah (SWT) two thousands years before Adam alaihissalam was created. That
light had been glorifying Allah (SWT) and angels also were glorifying Allah
along with this Tasbeeh (glorifying).

Falamma khalaqallahu ta`la Adama alaihissalam alqa dhalika nnura fi

twinatihi fa ahbatwaniyallahu fi swulbi Adama ilal arl
When Allah SWT created Adam alaihissalam put the noor in his clay then Allah
SWT descended me to the earth through the backbone of Adam alaihissalam.

Waja`lani fissafinati fi swulbi Nuh waja`lani fi swulbil khalili Ibrahim

alaihissalm hina qudhifa bihi finnar.

And He placed me on the backbone of Nuh alaihissalam in the ship and put me in
the backbone of Khalil Ibrahim alaihissalam when he was thrown to the fire.

Walam yazal yanquluni rabbi minal aswlabil karimatil fakhira ilal

arhami zzakiyyati twahira hetta akhrajaniyallahu min baini abawayya
walam yaltaqiya ala sifahin qatt.
My Lord had been taking me from honoured backbones to purified wombs. Hence
Allah SWT brought out me from my parents they had never engaged in any
illegal sexual intercourse indeed.
[Note: All these events are seen in MUJMAU (a Kitab) for Twabrani (4:213) and
in MUSTADRAK (a Kitab) (4:391) and in SEERATUL HALABIYYAH (a Kitab)
(1:47) for Haakim.)

Note: Other prophets, some pious
predecessors and men whom Allah
(SWT) selects, hafizs of the Quran who
live according to its teachings, and
some others also will have rights for
some shafa-a by the permission of Allah
(SWT). Without His permission, no one

Rawa Ka`bul Ahbari raliyallahu anhu lamma aradallahu ta`la ilhara

nnuril makhzun wa ibrazal jauharil maknun min abdillahi ila batwni
Amina (R)

Ka`bul Ahbar raliyallahu anhu reports:

(Note: Kabul was a Tabie, ie one of those who succeeded the Swahaba or
Companions of Rasulullah and one of the historians in the first Islamic century
who learned more about the old testament and the new testament. He embraced
Islam during the reign of the Caliph Umar bin Khattab (RA). He had many
students from eminent companions of Rasulullah (SAW). He passed away in 32
hijriyya at Himsw.)
When Allah (SWT) decided to reveal the Nur that he kept with care and honour
and to bring out the hidden pearl from Abdullah to the womb of Amina (R)

Atwhari fatatin fil arab wa dhalika fi lailatil jumuati min shahri rajabin
amara Rilwan

the most pious lady amongst the Arabs, that was at Friday night in the month of
Rajab, Allah SWT commanded Rilwan (the Angel who is the Guard
of Paradise or Jannah)

Fafutiha abwabul jinan wa tazayyanatil huru wal wildan wadukhat

bashairul afrah wa zaharat kawakibu sswabah

and the doors of paradise were opened. Hurs (heavenly girls with large
eyes) and handsome boys were adorned. The good news (of the birth of Rasulullah
(SAW)) was announced and the stars of dawn glittered

Wanada munadiffissamae wal arli ala inna nnural maknun minhu

sayyidul bashar fi batwni Amina (R)ta qadistaqarra

One caller (from the sky and the earth) announced, Know that the protected
Nur in which the leader of mankind is kept has been placed in the womb of
Amina (R).

Walammantaqala nuru nabiyyina swallallahu alaihi wasallam min

Abdillahi ila batwni Amina (R) ihtazza arshu twaraban wastwibshara

When the Nur moved out from Abdullah to the womb of Amina (R), the Arsh(the
throne of Almighty Allah SWT) trembled with all happiness and pleasure

Wazadal kursiyyu haibatan wa waqara wamtalatissamawatu anwara wa

lajjatil malaikatu tahlilan wastigfara.
And Kursiyy (a thing of Gods creation that extends over the entire
Universe)increased in awe and dignity.The Heavens were filled with light, the
Angels cheered, reciting Tahlil (La ilaha Illallah Muahammadu Rasulullah) and
glorifying Allah the Exalted

Fa aswbahat fi tilka llailati wal anwaru taluhu fi jabhatihal mu`tAmina

(R)
Then All the night, holy lights were shining in the confident forehead of Amina
(R)

Wa Amina (R)t bihi minal makhawifil ka`minah .walahara lintiqali nurihil ayaatu wa
tabasharat bihi jamil makhluqat

And She was safe against all hidden fears. The signs for the moving of this Holy
Nur was evident and all creatures informed each other about this great happening

Walamma hamalat bihi swallallahu alaihi wasallam fi rajabil hana wa

busshirat fi sha`bana bi nailil muna wa qeela laha fi ramalana laqad
hamalti bil mutwhhari minaddanasi wal khana.

When she became pregnant with Prophet (SAW), it was the happy month of Rajab.
She was informed in the month of Shaban of the glad news that her wishes were
to be fullfilled. She was told in Ramadhan that she carried in her womb a child
who was completely purified from all bad and dirty things

Wa samiatil malaikata fi shawwalin yubasshirunaha billafri bi gayatil

muna.
And She heard the Angels in Shawwal congratulating her, for her great ambitions
were going to be fullfilled

Wara`til khakila Ibrahima alaihissalam fi dhil qadati wahuwa yaqulu laha

abshiri biswahibil anwari wal waqari wthana.
And She saw Hazrat Ibrahim alaihissalam in the month of Dhulqadah, saying to
her, Congratulations to be blessed with the man (SAW) of all lights, dignity and
high status

Wa ataha fi dhil hijjati Musal kalimu alaihissalam wa a`lamaha bi rutbati

Muhammadin swallallahu alaihi wasallam wa jahihil asna.

And Hazrat Musa alaihissalam came to her in Dhulhijjah and informed her about
the position and high status of the Prophet (SAW).

Wanadaha fi muharramin Jibrilu alaihissalam bianna waqta

wiladatiha qaddana,wastwaffatil malaikatu manzilaha fi swafer

Jibril alaihissalam called on her in Muharram, and she was informed that the
time for her delivery was approaching. Angels formed rows (for the purpose of
greeting the new born child) in her house in the month of Safar.

Fa alimat anna mouida ssururi qad qaruba wa dana falamma halla rabiul
awwali ala`til arlu wassama wa ahraqatil baitu wasswafa.
And She knew that time fixed for happiness was near when Rabiulawwal came;
the earth and sky were illuminated with brightness, the Kaaba and Swafa
Mountain were also illuminated.

Thumma lamma ja-a waqtul wiladati wa qaraja manshuru ssa`ada wa

jaddha bi a`minata amrul wilada
Then the time of delivery came and the proclamations of success was heard and
the signs of delivery were seen in Amina (R)

Wahana buruzu shamsi ssa`dah tala`lal haqu nuran ala` wanushirat lahu
fil kauni a`lamurrila
And the time for the appearance of the sun of victory was so close, the truth was
shining, there as an extreme light and the flags of recognition were displayed in
all parts of the universe

Waidha bi twaerin qad saqatwa minal hawa fa marra bi janahaiyhi ala

swahbihi ajmaeen.
And Then a white bird flew down and and flew over the belly of Amina (R). Then
(as stated in Nurul Abswar, a kitab written by Imam Suyuti Rahimahillahu Taala) she began to feel labour pains on the eve (night) of 12th Rabiul awwal and in
the morning (of 12th Rabiul awwal), she delivered the prophet of mankind and the
jinn.

Waruviya anna Amina (R)ta ra`t hina wala`thu swallallahu alaihi

wasallam nuran al`alahu qusuru buswra min arli ssham .

It was reported that when the Prophet was being delivered, Amina (R) saw a
bright light, and in that light the castles of Busra from Sham glittered.
(Note: Sham was a region comprising Iran, Iraq and Syria at that time)

Waruwiya anna Amina (R)ta r qalat ,lamma wala`thu hu madadtu aini

It is reported that Amina (R) said, When I gave birth to Rasulullah (SAW), I
wanted to look at the baby but I couild not see the baby. When I looked again, I
saw that the baby was
in
the
cradle
wrapped
a white
cloth
and
cotton

in

was

which was softer than silk and a nice smell came from the baby.

Fa jaltu anlura ilaihi vaidha munadin yunadi akhfuhu ann a`yuni

While I was surprised by this, a group of three were coming to me, their faces
were looking like the moon . One of them holds a silver vessel, another one
bearing a green emerald big saucer, another a white silk, it was folded, thus he
spread it. Here is a seal astonishing the sights of the eyes, by its brightness .

Note:
This seal was seen only by some of Swahaba like Salmanulfarisi(RA), as the
Prophet(SAW) was very shy about revealing any part of his body except the face
and the palms.
It was predicted in Tourat and Injiel, that the Prophet (SAW) would be born with
these signs. So, many of the scholars of these two books, embraced Islam, seeing
these signs evident in Rasulullah(SAW)

Hamala ibni wanawalahu li swahibi twashti wa ana anluru ilaihi fa

gasalahu min dhalikal ma`e alladi fil ibriqi saba marratin thumma qala li
swahibihi ikhtim baina katifaihi bi khataminnubuwwah fahuwa
khatimunnabiyyin wasayyidu ahlissamawati wal arli ajmaeen.
He carried my son and entrusted my son to the holder of the emerald saucer.
While I watched, he bathed my son from that water seven times, then he told one
of his companions to place the seal between two shoulders, the seal of
khataminnubuwwah (i.e. the sign of the last propethood), the Prophet Muhammad
(SAW) is the last of all prophets and the leader of all those in the heavens and in
the earth.

Wa qeela lamma wulida swallallahu alaihiwasallam khamidat tilka

llailata naru farisa ba`da lliram,walam takun khamidat qabla dhalika bi

It is reported, the fire of Persia died the night the Prophet (SAW) was delivered
the fire had never been extinguished for the two thousand years preceding that day.

The Fort of Kisra trembled, fourteen minarets fell down. The Pond of Saawa dried
up, all idols were stooped. Satans were driven away from the sky by sharpened
flame sticks. The dawn of truth was exposed to all. All the false practices were to
be useless.

Wa ruviya an Yahya bin Urwa anna nafaran min quraish kanoo inda

It was reported from Yahya bin Urwa (Grandson of Zubair bin Awwam as in Al
Bidhaya written by Ibnu Katheer), verily one of the groups of Quraish were sitting
with an idol for them, they were celebrating their Eid-Festival, slaughtering the
animals and eating, drinking and playing.

Fa dakhaloo alaihi fa wajaduhu makbuban ala wajhihi fa ankaroo inda

dhalika alaihi wa radduhu ila halihi fanqalaba inqilaabaswagirin fafa`lu

Entering there they saw that the idol was stooped on its face, it was unbelievable
for them. They tried to re-establish it, but it again and again fell down and could
not be put straight.

Falamma raou dhalika abdau huznan wa taalluma wa awbaha eidulladhi

Seeing that they felt very sad, celebration was changed to sorrows. Uthman bin
Huwarith (later Usman bin Huwairis) gave up all idols and travelled toRome and
embraced Christianity) asked what happened to this idol. Many times it keeps
falling down! This is because of an important event and he began to sing, his heart
was burning with anger.

It is reported by Ibnu Ishaq (one of the Tabiee who saw the prophet`s companions
being as a muslim) that at the seventh day of his birth, his grandfather Abdul
Muttalib slaughtered for him as an essential affair and invited the Quraish. He
arranged for them food and honoured them.
After having their meal, they asked Abdul Muttalib what name he had chosen for
his grandson. He replied, Muhammad. They asked him, Why did you hesitate
to put the name of your forefathers? He said, I would like him to be praised by
all in the universe.

He deserves to be praised more than

anyone else.

When the time for prophet`s (SAW) sacred delivery came nearer, it illuminated
the universe due to his (SAW) brightness, Here was Amina (R) lonely, receiving
happiness with his Barakas. She didn`t feel anything except that there is a light in
her house, enshrouding her with delight and pleasure, Angels and Hur
E`en (unique beautiful girls from heaven with large eyes) have come forward,
different types of birds surrounded her room while she kept hearing the rumbling
of crowds of people rejoicing. How could this not be the case as the leader of the
entire world (SAW) had been born in the house of Amina (RA).

Qala Aliyyu bin Zaid rahimahullahu ta`la kana ila janibee rajulun
dhimmiyyun wa kuntu fi shahri rbi-l awwali adu-l fuqara wa a`malu
maulidan linnabiyyi swallallahu alaihi wasallam fa qala lee zalika

Aliyyu bin Zaid (may Allah SWT grant him His mercy) (Note: He was one of the
scholars after the genaration of prophets companions who passed away in 131
AH according to the Tuhfatul Mushtaaqeen).says:
There was a Dhimmyy (a non-Muslim who pays the tax to the Islamic
republic) near 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 you do this in this month and and not in others?. I said, Because of my
happiness about the birth of the Messenger (SAW), as he was born in this month.
He (the Dhimmy) began to scold me and I was very hurt.

Fa lamma nimtu fi tilka llailati raitu rasulallahi swallallahu alaihi

wasallam fil manami fa qala ma bika ?fa akhbartuhu bi khabaree ma
zimmiyyi fa qala la tahzan fa innahu yatee ilaika gadan wahuwa
muminun.
When I fell asleep that night I saw a vision of the holy Prophet (SAW) in a
dream. He asked me, How do you do?. I explained to him (SAW) my
experience with the Dhimmiyy. He told me, Do not worry, he will come

tomorrow to you as a believer.

Qala fastaiqaltu aqadtazayada wajdeewa ana antaliru injaza wadee wa

suhbul madamie qad jarat ala khadhee wa izabil babi yutwraq wa
zzimmiyyu yaqul iftah faqad zala swada qalbee in kanal habibu qad
kana indak fal barihata qad kana indee.

He said, I woke up with increasing eagerness, as I had been waiting for

fulfillment of the promise of Rasulullah (SAW), and there were tears flowing
down my cheeks. Here is someone knocking at the door!. The Dhimmyy was
saying, Please open the door, my heart`s stains have been removed, if the
Prophet (SAW) was with you once, he was with me yesterday night!

Fafatahtu lahul bab wahuwa yaqul lailaha illallah

muhammadarrasulullah ,fa qultu ma shanuka qala ra`itu llailata rajulan
hasanal wajhi twoyyibu rraehati aleemal haibati azajjaal hajibain sahlal

yafuhu minhul misku wal anbaru ma ahsana wajhahu wa ma atwyaba
raehatahu fa aradtu an uqabbila yadaihi qala atuqabbilu yadee wa anta
ala gwairi dheenee.
I opened the door for him. He entered uttering La ilahaha Illallahu Muhammadu
Rasulullah (SAW), i.e. there is no God but Allah SWT and Muhammad (SAW) is
His Messenger. I asked, What happened to you?
He replied, I saw 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 spoke very well. When he comes out you would say, This is the
full moon. When he walks, the smell of musk and ambergris(Note: a
fragrance) emanated from him. Oh,what a beautiful face it iwas! What a nice
smell it was! Then I thought that I would kiss his hands. He (SAW) asked me,
How can you kiss my hands while you are not in my religion?

Fa qultu man anta llazee mannallahu alayya bika? qala anallazee ursiltu
rahmatan lil aalamin,ana sayyidhul awwaleena wal aaqireen ana
Muhammadun khatamunnabiyyeen,wa rasulu rabbil aalameen.fa qultu

qala an tamuta gadan.qala swahibul hikaya fa bainama huwa
yuhaddithunee wa iza bil babi yutwraqu wa qailuln yqulu.

I asked, Who are you, by whom I have been blessed by Allah SWT? Then the
Prophet (SAW) said, I am 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
messengers, and the messenger for all worlds. Then I uttered, Lailahaha illallahu
Muhammadurrasulullah. Then he opened his arms and hugged me, saying that
This heaven and that castle are for you. I asked him (SAW) what is the proof
for it. You will die tomorrow.
The reporter said that while the Dhimmy was talking with him, there was a
knocking on the door and someone was saying

Zalal jafa anna waqad zala sshaqa

All difficulties and failures will be

removed

In kunta anta hulita yauman billiqa

If you get a chance to cast a glance on

the Prophet (SAW )

Fa qultu lahu man haulae?.qala zaujatee wabnatee qala fa dakhala wahuma

taqulani lailaha illallahu muhammadarrasulullahi fa qala lahuma kaifa
eemanukuma?.qalaa rainahu kama ra`aita ra`ya ainin wain kana waa`daka bi
qaswrin faqad wa adana bi qaswraini qala fa mata rrajulu fil waqti wafil gadi
matat ibnatuhu wafil yaumithalithi matat zaojatuhu rahimahullahu ta`la wa
rahimana ma`hum alhamdulillahillazee ja`lana min ummati Muhammadin
swallallahu alaihiwasallam,kullama zakarahu zzakirun wa gafala an zikrihil
gwafilun.

I asked him who these people were. He said, My wife and my daughter. The
reporter said, They entered uttering Lailaha Illallahu Muhammadu
Rasulullahi (there is no God but Allah SWT. And Muhammad (SAW) is His
Messenger). He asked them both, How is your faith?(Iman). They said,
We saw the Prophet (SAW) as you saw with our eyes. If you were promised
one fort or castle, we have been promised two.
The reporter said, The man died immediately thereafter, the next day his
daughter died, and on the third day his wife also passed away. May Allah SWT
grant His mercy upon them and upon us.
All praises belong to Allah SWT who made us in the Ummah of Prophet
(SAW) for as long as reciters of dhikr are reciting dhikr and for as long as
neglecters are forgetting His remembrance.

and the sun was evidently returned to

its position.
[Note: This event happened amidst the
travel for the Battle of Khaiber at one
place, namely, Sahbaah (7 AH). As the
Prophet (SAW) was taking rest in his
lap, Ali (RA) could not perform the
prayer on time . So, the Prophet (SAW)
prayed to Allah to move the sun back
for a while and it happened. Same event
happened in 6 AH in the battle of
Khandaq in the case of Rasulullah
(SAW) and Swahaba. According to
Imam Thohawi and Qali Iyaal,
accounts of both these events have been
unanimously approved: Bukhari from
Asma binte Umais (RA).]

The moon was split by his (SAW) order.

(Note : This event is mentioned in the
Holy Quran (54:1). This event is also
