October 2015



The Holy Prophet Muhammad Sallalahualaiwaslam was born on the early morning of Monday, the 12th of Rabi-ul-Awwal (April 3rd, 571 AD) in Makkah. He was named Muhammad (the Praised one, peace be upon him) by his grand-father Abdul Muttalib. The ravages of time have destroyed the original building but the place is the same where stood Abdullah’s house the father of the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him), who belonged to the family of Hashim the noblest tribe of the clan of Quresh.



Qiblahtain Mosque is located in Madinah. Earlier the Muslims used to perform their prayers (Namaz) facing in the direction of “Baitul-Maqdis” ( Jerusalem ). Once during the second year of Hijrah (Migration) the Holy Prophet  Muhammad Ssallalahualaiwasalam was leading the prayers in the Qiblahtain mosque, at Banu Salma, when Allah’s command came to face The Kaaba during prayers, from then on towards. Hence the Mosque came to be known as Masjid-e-Qiblahtain, or the Mosque of two Qiblahs.



O people! Allah says, O men, who were created from a man and woman, divided into castes and tribes to identify each other; you are equal, but he is more respectable who fears Allah. All Muslims are brothers together. Be careful of the rights of your slaves. Men and women have their duties and rights to each other. Offer Namaz (prayers) to Allah five times daily, observe Roza (fasting) through out the full month of Ramadan, pay Zakat (some of stipulated amount allotted to all Muslims every year during the month of Ramadan, kind of charity) every year, perform the Hajj (the Pilgrimage) and obey your rulers. Thus enter the Heaven created by Allah.



This Cave, the sanctum of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), this is the same place where He worshipped Allah SWT. Cave of Hira is the place of His devotions and meditations. The Holy Quran was first Revealed here. The Cave is located on mount Al-Noor on the way to Mina near Makkah. It has a very high peak which is visible even from a great distance. It was during one of the nights in the month of Ramadan when Muhammad Sallalahualaiwaslam had just stepped into the forty-first year of his life, when the first 5 verses of the Surah Al-Alaque were Revealed to him.


The Battle of Badar is considered as the first Islamic war which took place between the believers of truth (Islam) and the forces of evil. The battle field of Badar is located at 60 miles from Madinah towards Makkah. There was a small group of only 313 Muslim men, of which merely 60 of them were armored facing a massive army of one thousand warriors well armed and equipped. The believers had the strength of their Faith in Allah SWT and His Prophet Muhammad Sallalahualaiwasalam. The Muslims fully believed in Allah SWT and His Prophet Muhammad Sallalahualaiwasalam, they knew that the Truth will emerge victorious and falsehood must be overpowered, destroyed and annihilated. Thus it was this very Faith which brought about the Miracle and Truth did triumph with the Muslims’ victory in the Battle of Badar. The courage and valor with which Prophet Muhammad Sallalahualaiwasalam along with his cousin Hazrat Ali AS and their small group of Believers fought the Non-Believers have set an example for all of us to follow. We too must have the same Faith and Belief in our Allah SWT and always lead the righteous path.



Abu Sufyan had succeeded in forming a military alliance which consisted of the Jews and various tribes of the Arabs. when the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahualaihiwasalam was informed about this huge army, He called a meeting of His Companions. As per the suggestion of Hazrat Salman Farsi, a trench of a depth of five cubits and width of more than ten cubits was dug, all around.  The ten thousand, strong and well equipped army of Quresh tried to cross it for 25 days but in-vain.  Finally, the army began to succumb and Abu Sufyan was forced to retreat to Makkah in sheer frustration.
