Rabee’ al-Awwal Mabrook!!! - The month of Prophet

[Tahiri Faqeer]

wassalatu wassalamu allaika ya Rasool Allah

Translation:

Muhaddith al-Haramayn, as-sayyid Muhammad bin Alawi al-Maliki al-Makki al-Hasani, rahimahullah, says,

“If we look at history, we would find that the month of Rabee‘ is one of the months that does not have any great value for the Arabs. It is not one of the sacred months (ash-hur al-hurum), nor is it a month of fasting, nor is it a month of worship, or a month of Hajj, or a month of Umra, or the month of Ramadan. In the month of Ramadan there is fasting, and there comes Rajab which is one of the sacred months, and there comes Shawwal which is part of the months of Hajj, and there comes Dhul Qi’da which is one of the sacred months, and there comes Dhul Hijja, one of the sacred months, and there comes Muharram, one of the sacred months.

Why was he not born, Allah wa salamuhu alayh, in a day amongst the greatest days of history, the well known day of Ashura. This is a historical day: the day in which Allah saved Moses, and drowned Pharoah.. The day in which - as it is related in the stories- the Ark of Noah came to rest on the mountain.. The day in which, such and such happened, and Allah saved this and that from among the prophets… A historical day whose greatness is well known and witnessed.

But he was not born on the day of Ashura, which is a great day of great merit and glorious history. He was not born on that day. Nor was he born on the day of Arafa, which is a great day: The Arabs knew it (its greatness). Abraham stood in it, on Arafa, and called people in it to Hajj: Proclaim the Pilgrimage to all people. They will come to you on foot…(Q 22:27). So he wasn’t born on the day of Arafa, a great day, or Ashura, a great day.

Nor was he born in the month of Rajab, a sacred month, known to the Arabs. They know its greatness, and know its majesty, and know its sanctity.

Nor was he born in Ramadan, the month of fasting. Yes, fasting is not particular to the Muhammadan ummah, but Ramadan is particular to the ummah. As for fasting, in itself, is one of the forms of worship that were made for previous nations, not particular to the Muhammadan ummah. What is particular to the Muhammadan ummah is to specify for fasting the month of Ramadan.

Nor was he born in the months of Hajj. Nor was he born in Dhul Qi’da, a sacred month. The month in which Allah spoke to Moses. The month about which Allah Most high said: We appointed thirty nights for Moses, then added ten more: the term set by his Lord was completed in forty nights. (7: 142)

Nor was his birth on the 10th of Dhul Hijja, which is one of the great, blessed days. Nor was it in the month of Muharram.

Instead, it was in the month of Rabee’: a month unknown to the Arabs. They do not know it. They know that it is Rabee’, but it has no great merit, and has no great history. Why?

It appears, and Allah Most High and Transcendent knows best, is that Allah Most High and Transcendent wanted the merit of this prophet to be an independent merit- alone, not following anyone.

If he were to be born in Ashura, then it will be thought that the merit of Muhammad, salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam , is because of Ashura. Or if he were to be born on Arafa, then it will be thought that the merit of Muhammad, salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, is because of Arafa. Or if he were born on the 10th of Dhul Hijja, it would be thought that his merit was because of the 10th of Dhul Hijja.

Or if he was born in the month of Dhul Qi’da or the month of Dhul Hijja or the month of Muharram, or the month of Rajab, then people will imagine that the merit of the time will extend to the Chosen One. But he was born in the month of Rabee’, so that his merit would be independent. So here, the honor would become an independent honor, not dependant or following a previous honor. And that is his birth in the month of Rabee’, for which no great characteristic or rank.

But now, its great characteristic and high rank is Muhammad’s coming to presence in it, salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, and that is the greatest characteristic. So the Muhammadan Prophetic merit became an independent merit, for his birth, Allah wa salamuhu alayh, in this month, and that way, it is his merit that extend to the time, not time whose merit extends to Muhammad . It is Muhammad whose merit extend to that time period.

As one of the poets said:

I have not praised Muhammad in my poem * but have praised my poem with Muhammad .

So what he is saying is: I did not praise Muhammad in the poem. Instead, I was only honored that my poem was in praise of sayyidna Muhammad , salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam. So it is my poem that is praised, and it is not Muhammad who is praised, Allah wa salamuhu alayh.

…

So from this we know that he, salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam, was only born in the month of Rabee’ al-Awwal, so that his merit and honor would extend to the time, and not time whose merit extends to sayyidna wa mawlana Muhammad , Allah wa salamuhu alayh.

And likewise was his birth on Monday: an unknown day for the Arabs. Friday is known. And I mean in regards to merit. Monday is known, but not in regards to any merit. But what is known to them is Friday. Friday has merit for the Arabs, and they call it “the day of Uruba” (”the day of beauty and adornment”). And Kaab the ancestor of the Messenger used to give speeches in it, as the scholars have mentioned. So Friday is a known day. And Sunday: a known day for the Christians. And Saturday a known day for the Jews.

But he came on a Monday. Again it is the same matter. So that his merit (fadl) and honor extends to Time, and so that Time does not have any favor (fadl) to him, Allah wa salamuhu alayh.

It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans hate it (Q 61:9).

Salawat Allah wa salamuhu alayh.

So in conclusion: is that the merit of this noble prophet in the time period of his birth, in the month of his birth, in the day of his birth, is an independent merit. And so that he has the greatest merit, Allah wa salamuhu alayh.

Then he settled in Medina.. (Previously) Yathrib. And in this is another wisdom: so that the Masjid Nabawi has an independent and unique characteristic, for those who go to it, and visit it, and enter it. So that it is not following the Masjid al-Haram. These are merits that are unique and independent for the Messenger of Allah, Allah wa salamuhu alayh.
