BIRTH OF RASULULLAH . The prophesies and divine events that were taking place in Arabia were sure signs of the coming of our Prophet Rasulullah The Christian priest according to their Gospel (Injeel) and the Jewish Rabbis according to their book (Tauraat) declared that The last of all Nabees will be born in Arabia. Hazrat Ebrahim (A.S) had also asked Allah to raise a prophet among the Arabs. Hazrat Abdul Muttalib and his son Hazrat Haarith (R.A) began a desperate search for the well of Zam Zam. There are two little hills, Safa and Marwah, now absorbed in the city of Makkah, and close to the well of Zam Zam. Here Hazrat Hajira (R.A), mother of the infant Hazrat Ismaeel(A.S.) prayed for water in the parched desert, and in her eager quest between these hills, she found her prayer answered and she saw the Zam Zam spring. She built walls round it to make it a well. In due course this well was covered up with silt and now, it was Hazrat Abdul Muttalibs intention to uncover it. Hazrat Abdul Muttalib, the care-taker of the Kabah had to also contend with the attack by Abrah-bin-Saba, the governor of Yemen who intended to destroy the Kabah. Abrah had an army of The Elephants. But Allah sent flights of birds which rained down stones on this army and destroyed the attackers and Abrah failed in his intention. The Quraan makes mention of this fact in Sura Feel (The Elephants). This was the year that Rasulullah was born and it was called the Year of the Elephants.

Just before the birth of Rasulullah , Hazrat Abdullah the father of Rasulullah was sent by Hazrat Abdul Muttalib on a trade mission to Syria (Shaam). On his return journey, Hazrat Abdullah fell ill and passed away at Madinah. Thus Rasulullah was born on Monday 12th Rabi-ul-Awwal (22 April 571 A.D.) in the family of Banu Hashim. His mother Hazrat Bibi Aamina (R.A). was from Banu Zuhra family. The genealogy of this tribe shows that it is directly linked with Hazrat Ismaeel (A.S.) When Rasulullah was born, many divine events took place. A bright star was seen by a Jew in Madinah. A sacred fire burning continuously for a thousand years in Persia (Iran) was extinguished. A bright light arose in Makkah and this was seen as far as Syria. An angel had appeared in the dream of Hazrat Bibi Aaminah(R.A.) and told her that the boy that was to be born to her should be named Ahmed (The Praise One). With great joy Hazrat Abdul Muttalib, the grandfather of Rasulullah took the infant Prophet to the Kabah and thanked Allah for giving him this Divine gra
