Brief Seerah in Makkah
Birth He ﷺ was born in the ‘Year of
the elephant’ when Abraha tried to demolish
ka’bah. His ﷺ Father ‘Abdullaah passed away before he was born. No-one knows the exact
date of his birth as history books
differ. His ‘birthday’ was never celebrated by him, his companions or the first generations. It was an innovation
started by the Fatimid Shee’ah.
‘The Mawlid’ is an innovation and is not showing
‘love’ for him ﷺ as they claim. Loving the
Prophet ﷺ means following his sunnah and not innovating in
religion.
