One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
ASSALAAM U ALAIKUM
Dear Mr. Burhan
Plz let me know the correct date of birth of AAP
MUHAMMED (STAW) with hawala as many of people are confused whether it is 9th
Rabi-ul-awal or 12th Rabi-ul-awal.
(There may be some grammatical and spelling
errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from
questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in

Answer:
Birth date of
prophet (saws)
In the name of Allah,
We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides
none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them
aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone,
and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of
His Messengers.
There were obviously no official
records regarding the birth and/or death of an individual during the time of
the Prophet (saws) and indeed there is a difference of opinion amongst the
historians regarding the exact date of the birth of the Last Messenger of Allah
(saws). The absolutely majority of the
scholars and historians determine it to be either the 9th or the 12th
of the month of Rabiul-Awwal….and Allah Alone Knows Best.
Respected brother, regardless of
whether the Noble Prophet (saws) was born on the 9th or the 12th
(or any other day for that matter), rest absolutely assured that there would be
absolutely no difference to his Message or his
Whatever written of
Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever
of error is of me alone. Allah Alone
Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
