Evidence from the Qur’an

Evidence of Milaad-un-Nabi from the Qur’an

Allah Ta’ala says in the Holy Qur’an:

Say: “In the bounty of Allah, and his mercy;- Therein let them rejoice.” That is better then what they Amass.

In this verse, Allah Almighty tells us that we should be happy when we receive blessings and mercy from Him. Without doubt, the Prophet [May Allah bless Him and grant Him peace] is the greatest mercy and blessing of Allah Almighty

Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an:

“And we sent not to you but a mercy for all the worlds”  (Al’Anbiyaa’, 107)

Oh Prophet! The communicator of unseen news. We have sent you as a present beholder and bearer of glad tidings and a warner.

And an inviter towards Allah by His command and a brightening sun.

And give glad tidings to the believers that for them is great bounty of Allah.

 (Al-ahzaab, 44-47)

…remind them of the days of Allah…

(Ibrahim, 5)

Hafiz Ibn Kathir and Qadi Shawkani write that:

“the days of Allah” refers to the days on which Allah Almighty has done a favour on mankind.

[Tafsir Ibn Kathir, and Fath-ul-qadeer, by Hafiz Ibn Kathir and Qadi Shawkani]

Allah’s greatest favour on mankind was the birth of the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]. This means that the Milaad of the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] is a “day of Allah”, therefore we should remember it.

Hafiz Ibn Rajab writes that:

It is recommended to fast on those days on which Allah Almighty has sent blessings on us. The greatest favour which Allah Almighty has bestowed us with, is the sending down of the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace].
