In these gatherings praise and remembrance of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) takes place, which without any shadow of a doubt is inked with Allah Almighty and a source of obtaining His pleasure. Alch alm pisos in the Holy Quraan IOV. 5 “ Say , In the Bounty of Allah and His Mercy, in that let them rejoice, That is better than (whatever) they accumulate (wealth) .” Mufti Ahmed Yaar Khan Naeemi (ra) in His Tafseer Nurul Irfean mentions regarding this verse: “Islamic Scholars have said that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is the greatest bounty of Allah Almighty, Regarding this verse Majority of the commentators stated, where the bounty and mercy of Allah Almighty are mentioned collectively it refers solely te Nabi (Sallallahu Alsihi Wasallam) as mentioned in the Holy Quran (S:4V: 83) ~ Were it not for the Bounty and Mercy of Allah Almighty unto you, besides a few, all of you would have followed Shaytaan.” When Allah Almighty states “ Let them rejoice it Is better than (whatever) they accumulate,” From this is meant expression of this joy (Birth of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is better than all the bounties of the world, because it is an act of worship forwhich innumerable rewards would be given. Almighty Allah furtherstates in the Holy Quraan (S:93V11) “ And Publicise well the Bounty of your Lord (Allah)." In this verse Allah Almighty has given clear instruction for publicizing His bounty, We can understand from the above verses that the greatest bounty of Allah is Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). Therefore we learn from ($:93 V:11) that we should make the life, works and qualities of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wesallam} publicly known in abundance. Thus it is the demand of this act, that big gatherings of Meelaad should be held In another verse of the Holy Quran Allah Almighty Himself speaks about Nabi Muhammed (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) to all the other Prophets in the ‘world of the souls (Aalame Arwaah) (S: 3V:81) “ And when Allah took the covenant of (all) the Prophets saying: “I give you a Book of Wisdom. Then comes to you a Messenger, confirming what is with you; assuredly you shall believe in him and render him help.” From this verse it can be understood clearly that Allah Almighty Himself held a gathering (with all the Prophets) informing them of the advent and greatness of Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam). ‘Which in fact is the very practice which takes place at Meelaad Gatherings throughout the ward, This verse makes it crystal clear that Allah Almighty Himself is the first, to hold the Meelaad of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and that too in ‘the august gathering of all His Prophets In conclusion we learn from all these verses that to ‘Hold / Attend Meelaad gatherings is correct and nat ‘only according to the teaching of the Holy Quran ‘but also an act that Allah Himself has practiced. May Allah Almighty bless all those who Hold and Attend ‘Meolaaad gatherings Ameen.

SIGNS THAT OCCURRED ON THE BIRTH OF NABI # - IBN KATHIR. THE LIFE OF THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD 22 SOP] TEALPIMGS Al-Suhayli related from the Qur'an commentary of Bagi b. Makhlid, the hafiz, that Satan let out four cries. One came when he was cursed (by God); another when he was sent dawn from heaven; a third when the Messenger of God a was born; and the fourth when surat al-Fatihah, the opening verse ofthe Qur'an, came down. Muhammad b, Ishaq said that Hisham b, “Urwa would tell traditions on the authority of his father, that came from ‘Alisha, who once said, “There was a Jew whe resided in Mecca and did business there. On the night when the Messenger of God & was hom, the man addressed a gathering of Quraysh with the words, ‘O Quraysh, did a birth occur among you this night?" They replied that they did not know. He then exclaimed, "Well, Gad is very great; if that should have missed you, then no matter. Do look, and remember what I am telling you, This night a prophet has been bor to this last nation; between his shoulders there is a mark consisting of successive lines of hair looking like a horse's mane. He will not suckle for two nights and this is because a spirit will have put his finger into his mouth and prevented him from suckling” “The gathering broke up at this with all amazed at what he had told them. When they returned to their homes, each one told his family, And they responded, ‘By Gad, a child was born ta ‘Abd Allah, son of ‘Abd al-Muttalib, a boy named “Muhammad”.’ The people then gathered and asked one another, ‘Did you hear whatthe Jew said, and have you heard of the birth of the boy?’ They then hurried off to the Jew and told him the news. He asked them to go with them, so that he could see the hoy. They left together and took him to Amina, saying, ‘Bring out your son for us,’ She did so and they uncovered his back, There they saw the mark and the Jew fell down in a faint. When he came to, they asked him what was the matter with him, He replied, ‘By God, prophecy has left Israel's tribe; are you glad with it, O Quraysh? He will so empower you that news of it will spread fram eas! to west!” Muhammad b. Ishaq said that Salih b. Ibrahim b. ‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Awf related to him, from Yahya 'b. ‘Abd Allah b ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Sa'd b. Zurara, as follows, “Certain trustworthy men of my tribe told me that Hassan b. Thabit once said, ‘I was a mature lad of seven or eight, capable of understanding all | saw and heard, when one morning a Jew in Yathrib began shouting for the attention of his people. When they gathered about him — I heard all that myself — they asked him what the matter was. He replied, “The star has risen beneath which Ahmad’ will be The hafiz Abu Nu’aym related in the book, Dala’il al- Nubuwwa (Signs of the Prophethood), from a tradition of Abu Bakr b, ‘Abd Allah al-'Amiri, from Sulayman b. Suhaym and Dhurayh b. ‘Abd al- Rahman, both of their accounts coming from ‘Abd al- Rahman b. Abu Sa’id, from his father, who said that he heard Abu Malik b. Sinan say: "Lcame one day to talk with Banu ‘Abd al-Ashhal, with whom we then hada truce, and heard the Jew Yushu’ say, “The time approaches for the coming of a prophet named Ahmad who will arise from the sanctuary.’ Khalifa b. ‘Tha'laba al-Ashhali asked him, sarcastically. “How might you describe him?" He responded, ‘A man neither shart nor tall, with fine, light eyes; he wears a full cloak and rides a donkey, carries a sword over his shoulder and to this land will he migrate.” ‘Abu Malik went on, “When | returned to my own people and expressed at that time my surprise at what Yushu’ had been saying, [heard one of our own men comment, ‘So is it Yushu’ who alone says that? Allthe Jews of Yathribare saying the same!’ Abu Mallik continued, “I thereafter left and visited the Banu Qurayea whom | found in assembly discussing the Prophet =, Al-Zubayr b. Bata said, “The red star has risen and it only ever rises on the departure or emergence of a prophet, And the only one left is Ahmad: this will be the place to which he will migrate.’ And Abu Sa’id said, ‘When the Prophet = eventually arrived my father told him this story, and the Messenger of God % commented, “If al- Zubayr had adopted Islam, then his fellow Jewish leaders would also have done so; but they all followed him Abu Nu’aym said that ‘Umar b. Muhammad related to him, quoting Ibrahim b. al-Sindi, quoting al-Nadr b, Salama, quoting Isma’il b. Qays b. Sulayman b. Zayd b. Thabit, from Ibrahim b. Yahya b. Thabit, wha said that he heard Zayd b. Thabit say, “The Jewish rabbis of the Banu Qurayea and al-Nadit would discuss the description of the Prophet #, and when the red star arose, they said that it was for a prophet after wham there would be no other that his name was Ahmad and that he would migrate to Yathrib, But when the Messenger of God « ultimately arrived in the town they denied him, expressing their envy and disbelief.” NOW YOU CAN DOWNLOAD Al Kavgar www.saaberiechishty.co.zaPOETRY CORNER BY YOUSSUF ABDULLAH MAILOSI My Hero Is Muhammad Inwhatever the case Thole haan ning star of 1 in mn Heavens and ecrth krcsee That he is And indeed he must be The Messenger of Allah Sent as a Mercy to the world Whatever you say about him Most blasphemous cartoons you may draw ut he is forever my hero He shines in my soul To Allah Fay for him Peace and blessings, abundantly the world wishes him he rock of the ages The ever shining crescent Successfully he delivered the Message Alllah is one.

Before tie birth of he Holy Prophet (SAW), nat only the Arabian peninsula, but also the so-called civilized nations of Rome and Persia ware drowned in tha darkness of ignorance, superstitions, oppression and unrest, The Holy Prophet (SAW), came with the etemal truth of Tawhicl (Gneness of Allan), the onty faith which provides a firn basis for the real concepts of knowledge, equity and peace.

Recently in India, a fact-revealing book has been published. The Book has been the topic of discussion and gossipall overthe country. The author of this book, Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay, js a learned and famous Hindu professor. The book is Kalki Avatar, Pundit Vedaprakash Upadhyay is a Hindu Brahmin of Bengali origin, He is a research scholar at Allahabad University. After years of research, he published this book, and no less than eight pundits have endorsed and certified his pointsof argument as authentic. According to Hindu belief, the Hindu world awaits "the quide and leader’, named Kalki Avatar. However, the description as given in the holy scriptures of the Hindu points only to the Prophet Mohammed {Peace be upon him) of Arabia. Therefore, the Hindus of the whale world should not waitany longer for the arrival of Kalki Avatar (the spirit} and should readily accept Prophet Mohammed {peace be upon him) as Kalki Avatar, These are the FACTS verified and supported by eight other eminent pundits. What the author says is that Hindus, who are still anxiously awaiting the arrival of Kalki Avatar, are simply subjecting themselves to never ending pain, Because, such a great messenger has already arrived and departed from this world fourteen centuries ago. The author produces the following sound evidences from the Vedas and other holy books of the Hindu religion in suppart of his claim: 1. Inthe Puranas (Hindu scriptures), itis stated that Kalki Avatar would be the last messenger of God in this world. He would be for guidance af the whole world and all human beings, 2. According to a Hindu religion prediction the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an isle, which again according to Hindu religion is Arab Region. 3. In books of Hindus, the names of the father and the mather of Kalki Avatar are given as VISHNUBHAGAT and SUMAANI respectively. [we examine the meaning of these names we shall come to some very interesting conclusion, VISHNU (meaning God) + BHAGAT (meaning Slave). Slave of God = ABDULLAH (in Arabic} is the name of Prophet's (peace be upon him) Father, SUMAANI {meaning peace or calmness). Aamenah {in Arable means peace} is the name of Prophet's (peace be upon him) Mother. 4. In the religious books of Hindus, it is mentioned that the staple food of Kalki Avatar would be dates and olives and he would be the most hanest and truthful person in the region, Without any doubt the Prophet Mohammed {peace be upan him) is acclaimed ta possess these qualities. 5. It is stated in Vedas (holy book of Hindu Religion} that the birth of Kalki Avatar would take place in an honorable clan, This perfectly fits the Quraysh where Prophet Mohammed {peace be upon him) belonged to. 6, God would teach Kalki Avatar through His messenger fangel) in a eave. Allah taught Prophet Mohammed [peace be upon him) through His messenger dibrael (Gabriel), ina cave known as Ghaar-e-Hita. 7. Gad would provide Kalki Avatar with a very speedy horse to ride and travel the whole world and the seven skies. Indication of burrag (Horse)and Me'raaj (the night when Prophet [peace be upon him] travelled the seven skies) 8. God would provide Kalki Avatar with divine help. This was particularly proved in the Battle of Badr. 9. Another dazding account given about Kalki Avatar was that he would be born on the 12th of a month. Whereas the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him} was born on the 12th of Rabbi ul Awwal (Hijra Calendar) 10. Kalki Avatar would be an excellent horse rider and a swordsman, The author here draws the attention of Hindus that the real days of horses and swords have gone and the present time of guns and missiles, So it would be foolish ‘on the part of those who still expect Kalki Avatar, who should be an excellent rider and swordsman to come. In fact, the divine book, the Holy Qur'an, contains qualities and signs attributed to Kalki Avatar reflecting on the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him). ‘Courtesy wins cea zara ind htm Hida - Courtesy of Sunday Standart, Naat Kern ae.

We have seen the moral onslaught in respect of euthanasia, abortion, the condom culture and now the gay and lesbian issues. There were some muted protest but the resounding silence has allowed various acts of legislation internationally to become acts of law on a global scale, Needless to say the United Nations has played a significant role in these issues. The recent reports that in South Africa 2336 school going children had fallen pregnant, and of these seventy one ate attributed to one school only. The figures which emerged are based on ad hoc information and the actual pregnancies could be substantially higher. Is this situation unique to Sauth Africa? The answer is a resounding no. In a recent article in one of the British tabloids it was reported that in an upmarket school in Great Britain four children fell pregnant in a space of one year. In one such instant the child was fourteen years of age. This child fell pregnant by having an illicit relationship with a thirteen year old, To aggravate the situation further this immature and naive child, who was the first to fall pregnant was used asa councillor for the other three children who had fallen pregnant after her, As Muslims we should not become complacent and assume that as a society that frowns on such acts we will not become subjected to such acts finding its way in our communities, From informal discussions with a number of leaders within our society it appears that these acts are already in our midst. The propagandist of the liberal lobby has always used reason as a weapon together with propagating a strictly “rights” only campaign, The abave facts show that the reasoning which everybody fallen prey to has no real substance and rights (which has never been denied in Islam) had to weighed against responsibilities. The emphasis on “rights” only society is in fact an extremist view and these extremist fy should be exposed as such. A classical example which is normally presented is: We do not give a five ‘or six year old child our car keys so that they may drive our cars because they are not yet responsible enough, Why then give them a licence to destroy their lives and at the same time create an unstable society, The new founded right to promiscuity is the potent force which leads to indiscipline and irresponsibility, In many instances these acts are committed by children who come from good homes, However the general climate found within broader society can and will influence a number of children to act in such an lresponsible way. This climate stems directly from the liberal lobby that now has no answers to dealing with the monster which they have created, True to their character they will not shoulder the blame and will shift the blame to every body else It is time that as Muslims we should take a more proactive stand on these matters in order to bring change to this self destructive and suicidal attitudes prevalent in our broader societies, The first step being to take responsibilities within our homes and structures, (despite the criticism which we will earn) as we learn from the under mentioned ayah from the Holy Quran: Say: Will ye dispute with us about Allah (SWT), seeing that He is our Lord and your Lord; that we are responsible for our doings and you for yours; and that we are sincere (in ‘our faith) in Him?
