Greetings d,
Asalaamu'alaykum, may this message find you in the best of health, wellbeing, prosperity and peace!
As you may be aware, we are currently in the holy month of Rabi ul-Awwal, the month in which the holy Prophet Muhammad (saws) was born.
Allah Almighty describes the Prophet (saws) as Rahmatan lil-'Alameen, a "Mercy to the Worlds." Not only did he confirm and clarify all of revelation and prophecy that had come before him, purifying the Way perfectly, but he also advanced the Path as had no other prophet or messenger before, demonstrating the perfect path to the Divine Presence of God, beautifully balanced in both its inward and outward aspects.
Some scholars have said that had it not been for the pure excellence and beauty of the holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, Allah Almighty would not have created creation.
Allah Almighty said in a Hadith Qudsi, "I was a Hidden Treasure and desired to be known, so I created," and no other human being is so near unto perfect servanthood and annihilation in the Divine Presence of God, so absolutely in a state of pure surrender and selflessness, as is the Prophet Muhammad (saws), Khatm al-Anbiyya, the Seal of the Prophets, who said the name and title he was most pleased with was the simple description Abdullah, Honored Servant of the Almighty.
Throughout the Muslim world, it is customary to spend time this month in reflection on the beauty, the character and the Way of the Prophet (saws), and to spend time in reciting prayers and praise for his honor and love (durood, salawat, anasheed, mawlid).
"Verily, Allah Almighty and His angels send salutations upon the Prophet (saws). O you who believe! Send blessings upon him, and salute him with all respect."
-- Surah al-Ahzab (33:56)
It is widely known that one of the most meritorious acts of 'ibadah, worship, in Islam is to recite prayers and salutations upon the Holy Prophet (saws), for doing so increases our connection and love with him, he who is the living example of the Holy Quran, the perfect model and the perfect believer in the Divine Presence of God.
"Jibreel came to me and he said, 'whoever sends blessings (salawat) upon you, I will send blessings on him, and whoever sends greetings (salaam) upon you, I will send greetings upon him,' so I prostrated out of thankfulness to Allah Almighty."
-- Prophet Muhammad (saws)
Dear Friends, during this holy month of Rabi ul-Awwal, especially on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, as a humble suggestion, take a little extra time to learn more about the holy Prophet Muhammad (saws), send prayers and salutations upon his noble soul, develop your relationship with his personality, and thank Allah Almighty for the mercy, love and light He (swt) sent to us through the perfect example of the Prophet (saws).
A simple version of salawat (durood) which can be recited is the following:
"Allahumma sali 'ala Muhammadin wa 'ala ali Muhammadin wa sallim."
As a suggestion, recite the above during this holy month, especially this coming week, at least 100 times per day (it's always a good practice to keep count to as to maintain accountability and consistency).
Also, it is a valuable practice to fast in honor of the Prophet's birth, particularly on Monday, as was his own practice.
May Allah Almighty, for the sake of His beloved Prophet (saws), bless us all, forgive us, and guide us upon the straight and noble path of excellence, humility, compassion, love and light!
To Our Divine Success,
Please post Picture of Milad Mafil and Parade in your city .

May allah almighty accept our love for prophet SAW and grant us peace and prosperity in both worlds.ameen
