“بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم نويت الشكر لله تعالى على ولادة هذا النبي الكريم صلى الله عليه وسلم في الشهر الشريف”
“Why is Prophet Muhammad PBUH’s birthday commemorated while the Islamic scholars’ commemorations were celebrated upon their death? Because the Prophet Muhammad was known of his grandeur and glory in islam from his birth and the scholars were known of theirs from their death, for example, Sayyidina Umar bin Khattab was a thug but after embracing Islam he became pious and a“mufti”(decision and law maker) for Moslems,” as he explained why Prophet Muhammad SAW birthday was celebrated.

“Prophet Muhammad SAW was born and passed away on the same day which is Monday 12 Robi’ul Awal. So the Prophet was asked by his shahabah (companion) why he fasted on Monday. He answered because Monday was the day I was born. From this story for the intelligent and understanding, it is concluded that the Prophet Muhammad himself glorified the day of his birth, “he continued.
At the end of his speech he conveyed a message to the Al-Hijrah community, “Thus we must be happy with his presence among them at this time by holding memorials of the Prophet’s Birthday and reading the biography of the Prophet.”
