THE REASON FOR SELECTING THE MONTH OF RABE'E UL AWWAL FOR MILAD

The month of the Milad of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is Rabe’e ul Awwal.  The reason for selecting this month of the Milad of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) is that the word of “Rabe’e” means spring.  When this month of spring comes, the barren lands become alive, bare trees become green again.  The lost glory of the gardens flowers is restored.  Grass again starts growing in dried land.

  In the same way by sending the beloved Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), the Lord Almighty is indicating thus: O people! This Prophet who has arrived grants life to dead hearts, He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) frees those who are under the yoke of oppression and persecution,

He (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) beautifies the hearts of the people with love and grants the sweet taste of Iman, He fills the heedless hearts with the remembrance of Allah SWT.  Until now, the clouds of sorrow were there, now the One who would share their sorrows has come.  Till today, the devils used to ascend the skies and pass on whatever they heard to the sorcerers and they to the populace.  Now after the arrival of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam), shuhab thaqib have been installed on the skies.  Now no one can ascend the skies.
