, the savior of mankind, not onyl in the month Rabi’ul-Awal but every day of every year. In honor of his person and his message. And it is his right that they should celebrate it. On this happy occasion, they express their happiness and love for the Prophet who had been to mankind to bring the good news and the warning, and to call to Allah, and stand as a source of light to mankind. This celebrate is but a small part of what he deserves from love and happiness caused by his birth and his birth represents all good, happiness and light. You find Muslims gathering in Allah’s houses and in their houses and in their schools, and their universities, just to celebrate this night by reading the Qur’an and telling his biography (sirah) and some of his teachings and guidance and the reading of the story of his honorable birth. On this night, they approach Allah by giving sadaqa and presents to the poor and orphans, and special things for their families. They do this to show their happiness and thankfulness to Allah for sending the one who completes the perfection of character. And they find in this celebration nourishment to their souls which have been effected by the temptations of this life. The early Muslims (in the first three centuries), never thought of setting aside a special time to remind people of the greatness of Muhammad , his din, and his life, because they used to celebrate his greatness all of the time because they always remembered him not like Muslims these days. When the minds and the hearts of the Muslims became sick from seeking the pleasures of this life, so people needed remembrance that is beneficial.
