Muhammad is considered as the final prophet and messenger of God in Islam, and is revered as the greatest figure in Islamic history. According to Islamic tradition, the birth of Muhammad was a miraculous and significant event. He was born in Mecca in the year 570 CE to Abdullah, a member of the Banu Hashim clan, and Aminah, a woman of noble birth. His birth was said to have been accompanied by supernatural signs. Many saw these signs as evidence of Muhammad's divinely appointed role as a prophet and messenger of God. His birth is celebrated by Muslims annually on the 12th day of the Islamic month of Rabi' al-awwal.
His Birth according to Quran:
The birth of Muhammad is not specifically mentioned in the Quran. However, verses in the Quran affirm the miraculous nature of his prophethood and the significance of his message for all of humanity. For example, in Surah Al-A'raf 7:157, it is stated: "Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful."
His Birth according to Hadith:
According to hadith (traditions and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad), the birth of Muhammad was a significant event and was accompanied by several miracles and supernatural occurrences. Some of these traditions include:
A light emitting from his mother's womb: It is reported that a light shone from Aminah's womb, illuminating the surrounding area and dispelling any darkness. This is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 56, Hadith 829 and Sahih Muslim, Book 26, Hadith 5434.
The event of his birth was accompanied by other miraculous signs such as the flowering of previously barren date palms and the springing up of sweet water in the desert. This is mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 56, Hadith 833.
These hadith emphasize the miraculous nature of Muhammad's birth and his divinely appointed role as a prophet and messenger of God. They also serve as a source of inspiration for Muslims and provide a deeper understanding of his life and mission.
