The 12th of Rabi al Awwal marks the brithday of the holy messenger of Allah (swt), Prophet Muhammad (saaw) which falls this year on Saturday the 26th of June. Although, many so called reformers of Muslim society who have sought to "sanitize" Islam decry the practice of the solemn remembrance and recounting of the blessed Prophet's birth, it is a practice that has its roots in 1400 years of Islamic tradition whose source is the indellible Qur'an and Sunnah.
