Few Other Faith Scholars Conspiracy
Theory: 12th Rabi Ul Awwal is the
the demise of Prophet Muhammad(saw)and not the birth of Prophet Muhammad (saw)
Was the demise of Rasool actually on 12th Rabi Ul Awwal?
No! This is deceptive. It is a fallacious
argument by the deviants to stop the
ummah from celebrating the milad of Rasool(saw).
Sahaaba-e-kraam, Taba’een, Mufassireen, Muhaddiseen, all agree that 12th Rabi Ul
Awwal is NOT the demise of Prophet Muhammad(saw), but is the birth of Huzoor(saw).
In 235 Hijri, Imam Abu Bakr Abdullah bin Muhammad bin Abi Shaybah record in
their book that Hazrat Jabir bin Abdullah and Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas(Radi Allaahu Anhum), the two companions (Sahaaba) of Rasool narrate that the birth of Rasool(saw).was on Monday, the 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal.
Taking into consideration the narration of these two esteemed companions; if some
looters of imaan claim that the birth of Huzoor is not on 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal, and
then this is totally unacceptable.
In ‘Dalal e Nabuwwah Shareef’, Imam Abu Bakr Ahmad bin Al Husayn Al Bayhaqi (Rahamatullah Alaih) writes that Prophet(saw) was born on Monday, 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal.
In ‘Sharah Bukhari’, Imam Ahmad Qastalaani(Rahmatullah Alaih) writes that the most accepted belief is that Huzoor(saw) was born on Monday, 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal. And all the Ahle Mecca, before and after acknowledges this.
In 150 Hijri, Imam bin Is’haac Taabi writes in ‘Al Bidaya Wan Nihaya’ that Prophet(saw) was born on Monday, 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal.
Imam Abu Jafar Muhammad bin Jarir Al Tabri(Rahmatullah Alaih) mentions in ‘Taareekhe Tabri’ that Prophet Muhammad(saw) was born on Monday, 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal.
Philosopher in history Allama Ibn Khuldoon(RA)also writes in ‘Taareekh Ibn Khuldoon’ that the birth of Rasool is Monday, 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal.
Hazrat Shah Abdul Haq Muhaadith Dehlvi(Rahamatullah Alaih) in his book ‘Madarij un Nabuwat’ writes that Prophet(saw) was born on Monday, 12th Rabi Ul Awwal. He further writes that Ahle Islam collectively agrees that Prophet(saw) was born on Monday, 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal.
Deobandi pioneer, Ashraf Ali Thanvi in his book ‘Nashrut-teeb’ writes that Prophet
Muhammad(saw) was born on either 8th or 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal. And he also writes that the demise of Prophet Muhammad(saw) was NOT on 12th Rabi Ul Awwal.
And nondenominational Muslim (gair muqallid), Ahle Hadith, Nawab Siddiq Hassan Khan Bhopali in his book ‘Ash-shamaamatul Ambariya mim Mauloodil Khairil Bariyyah’ also writes that the birth of Prophet Muhammad(saw) was in Mecca Shareef, before Fajr, Monday, 12th of Rabi Ul Awwal.
And vast majority (jamhoor ulma) of the three noblest era of Islam (Sahaaba,
Ta’abieen, Tab-e-Ta’abieen) accept this. Ibne Joshi(Rahamatullah Alaih) has accepted and narrated this.
It is of paramount importance to note that the Deobandi and Ahle Hadith pioneers
have accepted and recorded that 12th Rabi Ul Awwal is the birth of Prophet(saw) and Not the demise of Huzoor(saw) The teachings of these fraudulent so-called scholars are misguiding the ummah, that
12th Rabi Ul Awwal is the demise of
Huzoor, and Milad Un Nabi(saw) should not be celebrated on this day. This is fraud, deception and a lie. These tricksters very
stylishly pester and try to misguide the simple Sunnis of The Ahle Sunnah by such
deceptive teachings.
In some books of seerat, it is written that the demise of Prophet(saw) was on 12th Rabi Ul Awwal, but in the view of lawful Islamic scholars, there is no evidence to such claims. Even the Deobandi pioneer, Ashraf Ali Thanvi in his book ‘Nashrut-deeb’ writes that 12th Rabi Ul Awwal as the demise of Prophet(saw) is not verified and not authentic.
You may now become curious as to which day was the demise of Huzoor.
In 581 Hijri, a great biographist Imam
Abdul Kasim Abdul Rahman bin Abdullah
Suheli(Rahmatullah Alaih) wrote that under no circumstance the demise of the Prophet(saw) could be on 12th Rabi Ul Awwal. He states that as a matter of fact, everyone accepts that the demise of Prophet(saw) was on Monday, in Rabi Ul Awwal, 11th Hijri.
For 10th Hijri, the farewell Hajj (Hajjatul Wida) happened on Friday. So, for 10th
Hijri, 1st Dhu’l Hijjah falls on Thursday.
Take for instance all the three months
before Rabi Ul Awwal (Dhu’l Hijjah,
Muharram, and Safar) to be 30 days or 29 days, still 12th Rabi Ul Awwal cannot be
on Monday.
For example;
If all the three months before Rabi Ul
Awwal were of 30 days, then Monday will be 6th Rabi Ul Awwal.
If all the three months before Rabi Ul
Awwal were of 29 days, then Monday will be 2nd Rabi Ul Awwal.
If Dhu’l Hijjah and Muharram were of 30 days and Safar was of 29 days, then
Monday is 7th Rabi Ul Awwal.
If Dhu’l Hijja and Muharram were of 29 days and Safar was of 30 days, then Monday is 1st Rabi Ul Awwal.
6th and 7th Rabi UL Awwal does not have any significance. So, the demise of
Prophet(saw) is either 2nd or 1st Rabi Ul Awwal.
Imam Bayhaqi(Rahamatullah Alaih) in his book ‘Dalal e Nabuwwah Shareef’ writes that the demise of Huzoor was on Monday, 2nd of Rabi Ul Awwal.
Imam Ibne Asaakir writes that the demise of Huzoor was Monday 1st Rabi Ul Awwal.
Haafiz Ibne Kathir, in his book ‘Al-Bidaya Wa’l Nihaya’ writes that the demise of
Huzoor was on 2nd Rabi Ul Awwal.
Allama Abdul Kasim Suheli(Rahmatullah Alaih) states that the demise of Huzoor was 1st Rabi Ul Awwal.
Shibli Nomani writes that it is totally impossible for 12th Rabi Ul Awwal to be on
Monday. In his view, the demise of Huzoor is 1st Rabi Ul Awwal.
Consequently, with all the facts and arguments presented, it is authenticated
that 12th Rabi Ul Awwal is NOT the
demise of Prophet(saw) ,but it is 2nd Rabi Ul Awwal.
Allah Tabarak Wa Ta’ala states in The Holy Quran:
“And Remember Allah’s Favour Upon You And The Covenant Which He Made With You, When You Said: ‘We Heard And
Obeyed And Fear Allah. Indeed, Allah Knows The Thoughts In Your Hearts.”
(Surah AL-Ma’ida. verse 7)
The coming of Sayiduna RasoolAllah(saw)is the greatest favour (blessings) of Allah
Subhanu Ta’ala. Milad Shareef remembers this; therefore, holding gatherings of
Milad Shareef is acting upon this ayat.
“And Publicize Well The Bounty Of Your Lord.” (Surah Adh-Dhuha. verse 11)
The Holy Prophet’s(saw) coming to this world is the greatest of all Divine favours and Allah Subhanu Ta’ala has reminded us of this. This, to publicize it (Milad Shareef) is practising upon the instruction of this verse.
expressing joy on the blessings of Allah Ta’ala is a divine instruction
The Prophet(saw)was asked about fasting on Monday. He explained: ‘I was born on
that day and revelation (of The Holy Quran) also began on it.
